Home Loans

In January 2008, because of the ongoing increases in the cost of wholesales funds, for the first time the eight major banks and lenders raised their standard variable home loan rates over and above the Reserve Bank shifts. For the first time, standard variable rates among the major banks and lenders were also different. Standard Variable Rates of the eight major lenders are in the table below. (For individual lender comparison rates, you will need to either talk to a mortgage broker or check with the relevant lender). More than ever, we encourage you to think about money as a commodity and compare your home loan options.

borrowing power and getting your home loan approved

Over 60% of Australians own their own homes and more than 70% of them have an outstanding mortgage. When you have found a property, getting home loan approval is the next step. A good mortgage broker can help you with this and you can find information here on getting your loan approved, your credit profiles and how it works, home loan to settlement application processes and the costs involved in buying a house and getting a loan. Lenders do calculate your borrowing capacity differently and you can get a good idea of your borrowing power from our mortgage calculators, or go to borrowing power help.
