Line of Credit

With a line of credit home loan, you could access the equity that has built up in your home to a pre-approved credit limit, and only pay interest on the outstanding balance.

Key benefits

Interest only

Pay interest only on the outstanding balance, not the entire line of credit.

Flexibility

You could use your line of credit funds for purposes such as home renovations, personal investments, or even a holiday.

Easy accessibility

Use a debit card or online banking transfer for easy access to the funds in your credit facility (not available for company and trust borrowers).

How does a line of credit work?

A line of credit is a flexible way to access the equity you’ve built up in your home, through extra repayments, capital gain or if you own your property outright.  The RAMS Line of Credit needs to be secured by residential property.

It’s a revolving credit loan facility – you can withdraw a lump sum, or smaller amounts over a period of time, up to your approved line of credit limit.

Unlike personal loans or credit cards, you don’t need to make monthly repayments which makes them a flexible option for investors, who may want to purchase an investment property without increasing their repayment costs, as monthly payments would only be required to ensure the balance does not exceed the credit limit.

You’ll need to repay your line of credit loan before the end of the term (up to 30 years), making as many repayments to suit your needs during that time. Of course, making repayments before the end of your line of credit home loan term will help to reduce the amount of interest you pay overall.

Things to note

If you don’t make interest payments during your loan term, you’ll need to make sure there’s enough credit to cover fact that your interest will capitalise, so be aware you’ll reach your credit limit sooner than if you had been making repayments.

Whether buying a new home, refinancing an existing home loan or investing in property, RAMS mortgage calculators can give you an estimate of what your repayments could be, based on your home loan amount, your loan type and the interest rate you think you'll be paying. Once you get an idea of your mortgage repayments from the calculator, together with the rest of your budget, you'll start to see whether you can realistically afford the home you want to buy.
