Whether you’re an owner occupier or an investor, Westpac has a fixed home loan option that may suit your borrowing needs. The Fixed Options Home Loan is available to owner occupiers on loans starting from $15,000, with the option of borrowing up to 95% of the property’s value for those willing to make principal and interest repayments on 1-5 year fixed terms. Investors, on the other hand, can choose the dedicated Fixed Rate Investment Loan which comes with a minimum loan amount of $10,000 and allows borrowing up to 90% of the property's value. Both loans offer flexible features including an extra repayments facility (up to a maximum of $30,000 during the fixed rate period), free redraws, repayment holidays when you’re ahead of your payments and the option of making either principal and interest or interest-only repayments. There are some costs to consider though, including a monthly service fee.

Westpac has an even greater selection of variable home loans tailored to various types of borrowers. Owner occupiers will be able to choose between the relatively low cost Flexi First Option Home Loan and the full-feature Rocket Repay Home Loan, both of which offer borrowers the opportunity to borrow up to 95% of the property’s value. Investors looking for a loan of $25,000 or more up to 90% of the property's value have two similar options available to them: the Flexi First Option Investment Loan or the Rocket Investment Loan. Depending on the variable rate loan you choose, there may be a number of useful features available to you, including extra repayments, redraws, repayment holidays and an offset account. There are also some fees to watch out for, but for more details on those check out the linked reviews in the table below.

If you’re want to lock in a rate on a loan of $150,000 or more on a 1-5 year term and you're interested in some additional perks with your mortgage, one of Westpac's fixed package deals may be the option for you. The Fixed Options Home Loan (Premier Advantage Package) is available to owner occupiers while the Fixed Rate Investment Loan (Premier Advantage Package) is available to investors, but both offer features such as extra repayments (capped at $30,000), redraws and repayment holidays. You’ll be charged an annual fee for either package deal, but this cost could be offset by the package’s perks which include interest rate discounts and waived fees on your home loan, fee waivers on select bank accounts and credit cards, and even discounts on your insurance products.

Like Westpac's fixed packages above, the bank also offers a number of variable package options: the Rocket Repay Home Loan (Premier Advantage Package) for owner occupiers and the Rocket Investment Loan (Premier Advantage Package) for investors. Both are available on home loans starting from $150,000 and you’ll get all the same features and perks as with the fixed rate alternative, but with some added flexibility in the form of unlimited free repayments. Borrowers also have a choice of repayment frequency - weekly, fortnightly or monthly - and the option to split the loan between a variable and fixed term. This is a package deal though, so you'll need to balance the loan features and additional perks against the $395 annual fee.

Would not give me a loan because I wouldn't state whether I was married or not -it was like going back to the dark ages - very behind the times as I have the independent capacity to make my own financial decisions as a female and don't need a male to be part of my home loan. I could prove I had more than the capacity to repay the loan but they were not interested.

Westpac's service with our home loan is very good. With the fix rate we got, helps a lot with repayments. They call monthly to check on us and see if we need any other products. They customer service is excellent and would recommend to others. Our extended family members are also with Westpac after them asking about their service.

Initially took all our financial status and came to house to get the paperwork which is not legal though we said that we would come to the branch on Saturday when it is open. After taking all our information she refused the refinancing by wasting our time. She is very sweet to talk but not trustworthy person. I am really suspicious about her dealings for having taken all my information. Would never recommend for having loans with Westpac as there is no genuinity in it.

Beware Westpac are too busy as at June 2021. They are missing deadlines and causing settlement delays. The distress is unbelievable.

Over a period of almost 20 years I have found myself having to deal with Westpac on several occasions through circumstance rather than by choice in relation to home loans/mortgages. I have never experienced worse customer service with any organisation. It is virtually impossible to connect with anyone either in a branch, online or on the phone who is genuinely able to help with your enquiry or who is willing or able to follow up on a query or complaint even if you do wait for hours on the phone only to then have your call drop out or return you back into the queue. Westpac customer service is not poor it is non existent & negligent in regard to its customers.
