When it comes to fixed rate home loans, St.George has a Fixed Home Loan product which is available for lending starting from $10,000 in a number of variations based on borrower type (owner occupier or investor), loan type (principal and interest or interest-only repayments) and the loan-to-value ratio (between 60-95%).
Borrowers can lock in a fixed rate for a 1 - 5 year period and there is an additional rate lock feature which allows you to secure the advertised interest rate for up to 3 months before the settlement date of your loan (fees apply). There is plenty of flexibility in terms of repayment options including the ability to make extra repayments (up to $30,000 without charge), a redraw facility (fees apply) and even a partial offset account. There is a monthly service fee to consider though, as well as a number of one-off fees.

Owner occupiers and investors are given the choice between two variable rate options with St.George: the Basic Home Loan with borrowing from $30,000 and the Standard Variable Home Loan which is available on loans starting from $10,000. Both loans give mortgage holders control over their home loans with flexible features such as extra repayments, redraws (fees may apply) and repayment holidays, but only the Standard Variable Home Loan comes with an offset account attached. On the flip side, Basic Home Loan customers won't be charged an ongoing service fee, though both loans comes with a few upfront fees.

To help you save on interest payments over the term of your loan, St.George’s Standard Variable Home Loan and Variable Home Loan (Advantage Package) come with an offset account. Borrowers opting for a fixed rate will not miss out on this money saving feature either, because the Fixed Home Loan from St.George has a partial offset account.
With St.George’s Family Pledge option, your parents or other family members can use the equity in their own home to provide additional security for a portion of your loan amount. That way your loan-to-value ratio (LVR) will be reduced and you may be able to avoid paying Lender’s Mortgage Insurance.
Whether you choose a fixed, variable or package home loan from St.George, you’ll be able to make extra repayments towards your loan balance whenever you like (free up to $30,000 for fixed home loans).
Variable rate? Fixed rate? Can’t decide? Many of the St.George home loans have a split loan facility which means you won’t have to choose one or the other. Simply split your loan between a fixed and variable rate and take advantage of the benefits of both.
Mozo users have rated St.George home loans on price, features, convenience, trust and customer service so you can see what real Aussies have to say about their experiences.

I have recently taken out a home loan with St George and it has been so easy and quick. I haven’t banked with St George previously but so far they have exceeded my expectations!

We started our home loan with St George (because we could use a guarantor), we then refinanced with someone else but have come back now to St George We received a $4,000 cash back offer and the fixed rate was very reasonable at the time Not looking forward to when this goes back to variable next year! Overall very happy with St George

Do not like the banking app , not transparent with the offset account feels like you are losing money sometimes , the app is all over the place and not intuitive to the user , comparing with other people my home loan is one of the higher ones.
