* Home Loan comparison rates calculated on a loan of $150,000 for a term of 25 years, repaid monthly. For variable loans with interest only repayments, the comparison rates are based on an initial 5 year interest only period. WARNING: These comparison rates are true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in different comparison rates. Fixed rate comparison rates only apply for loans with a loan amount of $150,000 to less than $400,000. The comparison rates for fixed loans with interest only repayments are based on the interest only period being equal to the fixed rate term.
^ Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) is the loan amount divided by the value of your property (determined by ME at assessment), multiplied by 100. The LVR value compares the amount you have owning on your home loan against the actual value of your property. For example, if your property was valued at $400,000 and your loan amount was $340,000, your LVR would be 85%.
