𝐅𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞? 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬: 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬.

A fixed-rate home loan can provide greater certainty because your rate and repayments are locked in for an agreed period. However, it may also have restrictions on extra repayments, fewer features and break costs if you change or repay the loan early.

A variable-rate loan may offer more flexibility and access to features such as an offset account or redraw facility. The trade-off is that your rate - and therefore your repayments - can change.

Some borrowers also choose to split their loan, placing one portion on a fixed rate and leaving the remainder variable.

There is no universally “better” option. The right structure depends on your budget, plans and how much certainty or flexibility you value.

Before deciding, it is worth looking beyond today’s advertised rate and considering how the loan will work in real life.

Your equity is the difference between your property’s current value and the amount you still owe on it.

For example, if your property is valued at $900,000 and your remaining home loan is $550,000, you have $350,000 in equity.

That does not necessarily mean you can borrow the full $350,000.

A lender will consider its maximum loan-to-value ratio, its valuation of the property, your income, expenses, existing debts and ability to manage the higher repayments.

Depending on your circumstances, usable equity may help fund:

▪️ A future property purchase
▪️ Renovations or improvements
▪️ A deposit and purchasing costs
▪️ Other approved financial goals

Accessing equity increases your debt and places more of your property at risk, so the numbers need to be considered carefully.

The loan that suited you then may not suit you now.

Your income may have changed. Your property may have changed in value. Your loan balance may be lower, and lenders’ products and policies may be different too.

That is why it can be worthwhile reviewing your home loan from time to time.

A home loan health check can consider:

▪️ Your current interest rate and fees
▪️ Whether you are using the right loan features
▪️ Any fixed-rate period approaching its end
▪️ Changes to your income or financial goals
▪️ Alternative loan options that may now be available

Refinancing is not automatically the answer. Switching can involve discharge fees, application costs, valuations and changes to loan features.

The purpose of a review is to determine whether changing your loan would produce a genuine benefit, or whether your existing loan is still doing its job.

Your credit card balance might be $0, but the limit can still affect your borrowing capacity.

When assessing a home loan application, lenders generally look at the total limit available on your credit cards, not only the amount you currently owe.

That means a credit card with a $15,000 limit may be treated as a potential monthly commitment, even if you pay it off in full every month.

The same may apply to:

▪️ Cards you rarely use
▪️ Store cards you have forgotten about
▪️ Buy now, pay later accounts
▪️ Credit facilities kept “just in case”

This does not necessarily mean you need to close every account before applying. However, reducing unnecessary limits or closing unused facilities may improve your position in some circumstances.

Before making any changes, speak with a broker. Closing an account at the wrong time - or assuming it will automatically increase your borrowing capacity - may not produce the result you expect.

Planning to apply for a home loan? Let’s take a closer look at the complete picture first.

Saving for a deposit? Make it a system, not a monthly test of willpower.

A few simple habits can make your savings more consistent:

1. Keep your deposit away from everyday spending

Consider using a separate savings account rather than leaving your deposit in the same account you use for groceries, bills and weekend spending. If you cannot see it every day, you may be less tempted to dip into it.

Set up an automatic transfer after each payday, choosing an amount that is realistic enough to maintain consistently.

2. Practise your future housing costs

Speak with a broker to understand what potential repayments and homeownership costs could look like.

If you are renting, consider regularly saving some or all of the difference between your current rent and your estimated future housing costs. If you are living at home, you may be able to practise putting aside a larger portion.

It can help grow your deposit while giving you a more realistic idea of how the future commitment may fit into your budget.
