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.
