Fixed Term Home Loan with Fixed Interest Rate
This loan has a set interest rate for a period of time. This means you know exactly what your repayments will be for your fixed rate term.
If you are unsure about whether to take a fixed or variable rate - you should consider a Split Loan.
Advantages
- Fixing the interest rate for a period of time insures against future rate rises.
- It is easy to budget for the same regular repayment each month.
Disadvantages
- If interest rates fall you may pay more for your loan than borrowers on variable rates.
- Most lending institutions penalise you for making additional repayments.
- You may be penalised if you pay off your home loan before the due date.
