Mary has been saving hard while keeping an eye out for the perfect inner city pad that gives her fast access to her workplace, and to the best bars and restaurants the central city has to offer. She finally has a deposit, saving $120,000.
She’s hoping to find an apartment for $600,000 or less, and after lots of open homes finds just the right one to become her first home.
Mary likes the idea of a fixed rate home loan, because it means there will be no surprises when it comes to how much she has to pay towards her monthly repayments of principal and interest each month. But, she also likes the idea of being able to make extra repayments; her favourite grandma has told Mary she’s made provision for Mary in her will.
Mary checked out RAMS’ fixed rate home loan options, and they both looked great because they had a broad rate of fixed term periods to choose from – meaning she could take advantage of the security of 1, 2, 5 or even 10 years’ fixed term if she wanted to.
She’d also be able to deposit up to $30,000 extra during the fixed rate period with no break costs should she inherit money from Grandma, but have the ability to redraw this money if she needs to.
RAMS says…
After talking her situation through with a RAMS home loan specialist, Mary decides on a split loan: she takes a Fixed Rate Home Loan (Packaged) for set period (3 years) and has part of her loan on a variable rate. She likes this fixed loan option because she can add the Value Advantage Package to the fixed loan, and that saves her nearly $100/year on fees – and every little bit counts.
With having a portion as a variable rate home loan, Mary feels like she’s getting the best of both worlds, because she has security against rising interest rates without feeling stuck with higher interest repayments if rates shift down. And if Grandma’s inheritance money turns out to be more than $30,000, she’ll be able to put that straight into her variable loan account, without incurring break costs.
What’s more, because Mary has a deposit of at least 20% for her new home (which means she has a loan-to-value ratio, or LVR, of 80%), she doesn’t have to pay Lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI) when she takes out her loan.
