What Types of Loans are Available?
The rate charged on this type of loan moves in accordance with interest rate movements. Basic variable loans generally have fewer loan features than standard variable loans. Basic loans are suitable if you're paying a consistent amount off your loan over the life of the loan, but are not recommended if you're looking to pay your mortgage off quicker.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
This type of loan has a fixed interest rate and fixed repayments. The time period for which you can fix a loan varies, but you can generally fix your repayments for between 1 and 5 years. At the end of the fixed loan period you can decide whether to fix the loan again over another period of time at the current market rate, or you can convert to another loan type, such as variable, for the remaining time left on the loan.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
This type of loan sees one portion of the loan fixed and one portion of the rate variable. You can select what percentage of the loan you allocate to each.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
The borrower only repays the interest on the principal during the term of the loan. Repayments are lower than with a standard variable principal and interest loan. At the end of each interest-only period, which is normally 1 to 5 years, you must begin making principal and interest repayments for the remaining life of the loan.
