getting you the right home loan - x inc mortgage brokers
The Australian home loan market is very competitive with local and international banks, building societies, credit unions and all manner of specialist lenders offer a seemingly endless choice of home loan options, including honeymoon rates, introductory rates, no deposit and 100% home loans, standard variable rates, fixed rates, redraw facilities, line of credit loans, professional packages with great rates if you are borrowing more than $300,000 and so on.
borrowing power and getting your home loan approved
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.
Standard Variable Home Loans Rates with Major Lenders
Most banks and lenders announced significant variable and fixed interest rate cuts in 2008. For borrowers, the real points remain that there is instability in the global finance markets, but Australian banks are sound. In the main, borrowers are best to stick to a variable rate loan for the moment and in most cases, if rate is the focus, then lender you are with. The differences between the lender's variable rates are nominal at best. Borrowers should pay more attention to the products, packages, basic loans etc that will provide the best ongoing outcome, depending on circumstances. (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.
