Fixed Rate Home Loans
A Fixed interest rate home loan is usually taken out for an agreed period of time between 1 and 10 years and when this ends you have the choice of fixing the rate again or switching to a variable interest rate.
Advantages
- Budgeting your finances is easier, as your home loan repayments remain constant even if there is an interest rate increase
- Reduce the risk of defaulting on your home loan when variable interest rate increases and repayments increase
- Additional home loan repayments are allowed of up to 5% in a 12 month period
Disadvantages
- The fixed home loan interest rate is normally higher than the variable home loan interest rate
- If interest rates fall, the home loan repayment will not reduce as your repayment amount is fixed
- Fees may apply if additional home loan repayments of more than 5% are made in a 12 month period.
