Currently in Australia fixed and variable rates are historically low, but what will they be next week, month, year or even next 10 years? It is difficult even for experts to make long-term interest rate predictions they often get it wrong. Your choice of loan is determined by your situation and your own financial priorities. Your choice needs to be made with your own financial goals in mind and with consideration of your income, cash flow and need for security or flexibility.

This allows precise budgeting and planning of your personal finances Variable Rate - Fluctuates with the market - Offers extensive flexible options of extra repayments, redraw and offset - Both principle and interest or interest only terms available - 30 years terms available Split Loan - A combination of fixed and variable (the best of both worlds) - Allows you to split your loan amount between fixed interest and variable interest rates.
