Thoroughbred Home Loans - Fixed
Gives you the certainty of knowing exactly what your repayments will be.
A Fixed Rate Home Loan gives you certainty. The interest rate is fixed for a set period, so you know what
the repayments will be each time. With a Thoroughbred Fixed Rate Home Loan you can plan ahead with confidence.
How does it work?
-
The interest rate can be fixed for a set period (six months to five years) and may be rolled over at
the end of that period. However, the interest rate then will depend on the rates at that time.
-
At the end of your fixed interest rate period, you can make a lump sum repayment for no fee.
-
During your fixed interest rate period, you can make a lump sum payment or increase your repayments
by up to 5% p.a. of the outstanding loan balance for an administration fee of $100.
Please note an Early Repayment Recovery and administration fee of $250 applies for voluntary repayments
over and above 5% p.a. of the outstanding loan balance. Early Repayment Recovery compensates the Bank for
the costs it incurs in providing you with a fixed interest rate.
-
You can split your loan into a number of different fixed interest rate loans (for example, you can
have a portion of your borrowing on a two year period and a portion on a five year period).
-
You can choose straight line, interest only or table repayments.
-
You can put a fixed interest rate on hold until you need it by signing a Reserved Rate
Agreement. For a new loan, you can reserve a fixed rate up to 60 days before the drawdown
date and for an existing loan, you can reserve a rate up to 30 days before your existing
rate is due to expire. If you cancel or change a Reserved Rate Agreement, a Non-Utilisation
Recovery charge applies. This compensates the Bank for the costs it incurs in holding the
fixed interest rate for you.
