Structure Features

What to weigh before choosing fixed or variable.

Different rate types offer varying levels of flexibility and certainty. We help you compare the loan features that matter to your plans.

Feature Consideration Fixed Rate Loans Variable Rate Loans
Interest Rate Stability Locked in for a set period (often 1 to 5 years). Your rate does not change during this term. Fluctuates with the market or RBA changes. Rates may increase or decrease.
Repayment Certainty You know exactly what your repayments will be over the fixed term, aiding budgeting. Repayments can vary, requiring buffer room in your monthly budget.
Extra Repayments Often restricted or capped. Exceeding the limit may incur break costs. Typically unlimited, allowing you to pay off the mortgage faster without penalty.
Offset Accounts Rarely available or only partially effective on a fixed loan structure. Frequently available. Savings held in an offset account reduce the interest calculated daily.

Note: Many borrowers choose to split their loan, mixing both fixed and variable features. We can help assess if this structure suits you.
