Mozo editorial review RAMS Essential Home Loan - last updated: 20 June 2023

binocular icon
What's hot

Mozo snapshot

The RAMS Essentials Home Loan could be a good pick for anyone starting out or buying the home of their dreams. With variable rates from as low as 5.74% variable rate (5.81% comparison rate*) for owner occupiers, no ongoing fees and flexible repayment options, you can be sure your repayments are going towards paying off your loan as quickly as possible.

Key features

The RAMS Essentials Home Loan has a bunch of options for different types of borrowers. The loan is available for both owner occupiers and investors and allows each group to make either principal & interest or interest-only repayments.

As an owner occupier, you can borrow up to 95% of the property's value for principal and interest loans. For investors, you can borrow up to 90% of the property's value on a principal and interest or interest-only loan.

Free extra repayments are available and there's no minimum redraw amount if you find you need that cash back. There's also no maximum loan amount, which makes the RAMS Essentials Home Loan ideal if you are looking at taking on a big mortgage with competitive rates.

The repayment options should suit most payday frequencies, with weekly, fortnightly and monthly repayment options available. And if you're looking to hedge against any interest rate hikes, there is a split account option which means you can split your low rate loan between a variable and fixed rate.

Lastly, if you ahead on your payments and your circumstances change or you just want to have a break, you'll be able to ask RAMS for a repayment holiday.

Who is it good for

The RAMS Essentials Home Loan could be great for anyone looking for a low rate home loan with plenty of features and flexibility.

Any catches

There are a couple of fees that might get you bleating. There's the $595 application fee, the $285 settlement fee and a $295 discharge fee. It's also worth bearing in mind that if you do take out a loan with an LVR greater than 80%, you may be required to take out Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
