Types of Home Loans Available
Many of our clients are surprised to learn how many different varieties of home loan options are available.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed when searching for a home loan. There are many types with various terms and features, and of course, you want to choose the loan that fits your needs best. Below are the types of home financing available to you:
Basic Variable Rate Home Loans
This type of loan is also frequently known as a ‘no-frills’ loan. It is an excellent option for our clients looking for a simple loan with a good interest rate. The basic variable home loan works well for first time home buyers.
There are some drawbacks to consider with this type of loan. They lack offset accounts and redraw features, and your repayment amount may actually increase if interest rates rise.
What Are the Advantages?
- Flexibility to make extra payments
- No ongoing fees
- When interest rates fall, so does your payment
Standard Variable Rate Home Loans
The most common home loan across the world, the standard variable rate home loan is an excellent option for most potential homebuyers. These loans are flexible, straightforward, and come with helpful features that many borrowers appreciate.
Borrowers should be aware that interest rates are usually a little higher than basic variable rate loans (because of the features included).
What Are the Advantages?
- Extra repayments are permitted
- Option for redraw
- Payments lower when interest rates drop
- Offset account usually available
Fixed Rate Home Loans
These loans lock in your interest rate for a set time. This is typically between one and five years, although longer options are available. Borrowers who benefit the most from a fixed rate are those who want the ability to make long-term budgets and would struggle financially if interest rates rise.
The most significant drawback to the fixed rate is your inability to make extra payments during the term of the loan.
What Are the Advantages?
- No payment increase if interest rates rise
- The accuracy of the household budget
- Peace of mind for borrowers who like certainty
Split Rate Home Loans
Split rate loans allow borrowers to divide the terms of their interest rates on a home loan. You can choose the way the loan divides. For example, if you finance a $500,000 home at a 50-50 split, half of your loan amount will be at the fixed rate and the other half of your loan amount will be a variable interest rate and subject to fluctuations.
A split rate home loan is often the best of both worlds for borrowers experiencing difficulty choosing between wanting a chance to pay down their home loans and needing the predictability of a locked-in interest rate. This is because the variable portion of the split rate will allow for early repayment.
What Are Some Advantages of the Loan?
- Provides a certain amount of stability regarding repayment amounts
- Offer option of early repayment
Interest Only Home Loans
Borrowers using the interest only home loan finance option will pay just the amount of interest on the amount of their home loan.
Example:
- Loan amount: $500,000
- Interest rate: 3.5%
- Monthly interest-only payments: $1458.33
Typically, the interest-only loan has a time limit of between one and five years. When the interest-only period ends, borrowers must begin paying on the interest and the principal of the loan.
What Options Do I Have After the Interest-Only Period?
- Payoff the outstanding balance
- Refinance your home
- Negotiate another period of interest only payments
- Continue paying the new loan amount and pay interest and principal
The interest-only loan is typically popular with those who can write off taxes. This type of loan carries the possibility of a distinct disadvantage because if your property value becomes less than the principal, you have negative equity.
What Are Some Advantages of the Loan?
- Smaller monthly payments can help if your budget is tight
- Helpful for property investors who can deduct the interest payments on income tax
The Line of Credit Home Loans
The line of credit home loan is among the most flexible loans available. It is a home loan where the borrower will get the loan against the equity built in their property.
A line of credit home loan is comparable to a credit card with a substantial credit limit. The amount of the credit available depends on, among other things, the amount of equity you have in your property. The funds are used at the borrower’s discretion and often include renovations, repairs, or investment properties.
Clients using the line of credit home loan should note that if they have inadequate financial discipline, there is a chance of incurring a large amount of debt so significant that they could lose their house. Additionally, the equity in the property may decrease even if the property is safe.
What Are Some Advantages of the Loan?
- Interest is only on the amount of the loan borrowers use
- Helpful for borrowers who are self-employed or otherwise have irregular sources of income
- Interest rates are lower than credit cards and personal loans
- Offers borrowers the chance to use the equity in their home to finance necessary activities or to purchase an investment property
Introductory Home Loans
Borrowers who get an introductory home loan (also called Honeymoon rate home loans) enjoy a very low-interest area on the first year of their home loan. After the initial period is over, the interest rate on the loan will rise to the same rate as standard home loans. Occasionally, borrowers are not prepared for the new payment amount after the interest rate raises and may struggle to make the payments on their home.
What Are Some Advantages of the Loan?
- Helps first-time home buyers get affordable payments
- The borrowers can pay down the principal amount of the loan during the introductory period

The low documentation home loan (low doc home loan) is just as it seems; it requires fewer papers and proof from loan applicants.
A low doc home loan works especially well for borrowers who are self-employed or casual workers. Occasionally, these loans come at a higher interest rate than other home loans, and borrowers may need to provide a more considerable down payment amount.
What Are Some Advantages of the Loan?
- Allows qualified non-traditional borrowers a chance at home ownership
- Often will overlook recovering credit
Low Deposit Home Loans
As property values (and home prices) rise across the world, the amount a potential borrower needs for a deposit on a home also rises. Consequently, saving enough for a deposit on even a modest house is a real challenge.
Low deposit home loans can help potential buyers purchase property with significantly less money down. The caveat is often higher interest rates on the loan as well as Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) added to your loan.
A guarantor with equity built in their property is a useful way to avoid LMI and normalise your mortgage rate. In some cases, a deposit is not necessary with a loan guarantor.
What Are Some Advantages of the Loan?
- The most significant advantage to a low deposit loan is that it will save money in the long run during periods of steadily rising home prices
Construction Home Loans
The construction home loan differs from a typical home loan because the entire loan amount does not pay for the purchase all at once. A construction loan is usually an interest only loan during the phases of building.
This lowers the overall interest paid as the charges occur as payments release. During this time, it is possible that the majority of the loan is drawn down for several months.
This means your payments will be very close to the maximum. Once the project finishes, the loan changes from the interest only to another type.
What Are Some Advantages of the Loan?
- Payments are in stages instead of 100 per cent at once
- Interest only until completion of the property
No Deposit Home Loans
Loans requiring zero deposit are now known as guarantor home loans. While at one time no deposit loans were available without a guarantor, the financial crisis of 2007 sparked the end of this loan variety.
Potential homeowners who have a guarantor with enough accrued equity can borrow without a down payment. Additionally, this type of loan prevents paying LMI charges and will save the borrower thousands of dollars over time.
Typically, the parents of a borrower act as the guarantors for the loan; however other family members can be guarantors as well. While this situation is not ideal for every family, many first-time home buyers find this the most suitable route to homeownership in worldwide.
