Mozo snapshot

If you're an owner occupier looking for a home loan with a major bank, it's hard to look past some of the features available with the Flexi First Option Home Loan from Westpac. This home loan also picked up a 2022 Mozo Experts Choice Home Loan Award in the First Home Buyer Loan category.

Key features

Westpac offers a low starting variable rate of 6.44% p.a. (6.76% p.a. comparison rate*) for the first two years which is pretty great as far home loan rates go. Just bear in mind that while you will be able to borrow up to 95% of the property value with the Westpac Flexi First Option Home Loan, borrowers with an LVR over 80% may be required to take out lenders mortgage insurance

There are different rates depending on the LVR tier you're on. The tiers are:

  • Up to 70% LVR
  • 70.01% - 80% LVR
  • More than 80.01% LVR

As the name suggests, the Flexi First Option is also about giving borrowers a bit of extra flexibility. You'll be able to make repayments on a schedule which suits your pay cycle (with weekly, fortnightly and monthly options available), plus you can make extra repayments at any time and there's a redraw facility at hand should you need to dip into them.

And while there are no one-off fees borrowers should remember that there's an $8 loan account fee, which is charged monthly, and a $350 loan discharge fee.

Who is it good for
