FAQs

A broker is a finance professional who will work with you one-on-one to discuss your borrowing goals and help you determine how much money you can qualify for. They typically provide a more personalised level of service than you would receive from a lender and also have access to loans from multiple lenders, so they can find the best loan terms for your unique situation.

There are no extra loan repayments or fees when you take out a loan through a broker. A broker is simply paid commission by the lender for introducing new business, but this doesn’t affect your interest rate or other aspects of the loan agreement.

Using a broker is free for you because the lender pays your broker. With access to hundreds of loan products from various lenders, brokers will find the ideal loan for you and your circumstances. In most instances, this is a combination of the lowest available rate at the time and product features that are most convenient for you.

Some brokers charge service fees, which must be disclosed before they provide their services.

Just as the name suggests, variable-rate home loans have interest rates that change over time. They are often more flexible than other types of loans, with features like redraw facility and extra payment options. However, they do not have fixed repayment amounts.

On the other hand, fixed-rate home loans come with predictable monthly repayments – you will know exactly how much you need to pay each month for the entire duration of the loan term. These kinds of loans might not be as flexible in terms of features but offer borrowers peace of mind when budgeting repayments.

In choosing which type of loan is right for you, it’s good to weigh up what’s most important to you – whether that’s flexibility or certainty around your monthly repayments.
