Frequently asked
Questions? We’ve got plenty of answers

It’s a relationship. A human connection – not a transaction.
How does a home loan work?
A home loan, also known as a mortgage, is a loan provided by a lender (such as a bank or a financial institution) to help you purchase a home. You repay the loan amount plus interest over an agreed-upon term, usually through regular repayments.
How much can I borrow for a home loan?
The amount you can borrow for a home loan depends on several factors, including your income, expenses, credit history, and the value of the property you intend to purchase.
What is the difference between a fixed-rate and a variable-rate home loan?
A fixed-rate home loan has a set interest rate for a specific period, providing certainty in repayments. A variable-rate home loan, on the other hand, has an interest rate that can change based on market conditions, potentially affecting your repayments.
What is a redraw facility?
A redraw facility allows you to withdraw any extra repayments you’ve made on your home loan. It can be a useful feature if you need access to funds in the future.
What is an offset account?
An offset account is a savings or transaction account linked to your home loan. The balance in the offset account is offset against your home loan balance, reducing the amount of interest you pay.
Can I make extra repayments on my home loan?
Many home loans allow you to make extra repayments, which can help you pay off your loan sooner and reduce the amount of interest you pay over time.
What fees are associated with a home loan?
Common fees associated with a home loan include application fees, ongoing fees, and early repayment fees. It’s important to understand these fees before taking out a home loan.
What is Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?
Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is insurance that protects the lender if you default on your home loan and the proceeds from the sale of the property are not enough to cover the outstanding loan balance. LMI is typically required if you have a deposit of less than 20%.
How long does it take to get approved for a home loan?
The time it takes to get approved for a home loan can vary depending on the lender and your individual circumstances. In general, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
Can I use a home loan to buy an investment property?
Yes, you can use a home loan to buy an investment property. The process and requirements may be slightly different than buying a property to live in, so it’s important to seek advice from a mortgage broker.
Why do we need to sign a Rate Request Form?
Some lenders require a signed form prior to allowing us to monitor your interest rate and advocate for you to keep it competitive.
