Home loan customers can choose between variable rate loans and fixed rate loans. Variable rate loans have an interest rate that can change over time. This can lead to lower initial interest rates compared to a fixed rate loan, but it can also lead to unpredictable monthly payments. A loan can also be split with both a fixed rate and a variable rate. Fixed rate loans have an interest rate that remains the same for a set period, usually 1 to 5 years. This allows for certainly around monthly payments for the fixed term. At expiry of the initial fixed rate term borrowers can choose to either re-fix their interest rate at the current fixed interest rate, or roll it onto the current variable rate offered.

There are two repayment types with home loans – principal and interest or interest only home loans. A home loan with principal and interest (or P&I) repayments is one where you pay back the money you borrowed from the lender – also referred to as the ‘principal’ of the loan – at the same time as you pay off the interest your lender charges you. This means the amount you repay each week, fortnight or month is likely to remain fairly stable throughout your loan, unless your lender changes your interest rate or ongoing fees. Interest-only home loans are loans in which only the interest portion is paid off, not the principal, for the first one to five years of a loan, before the loan reverts to P&I repayments. As a result, your repayments may be cheaper initially but are likely to go up substantially once you start paying off the principal component. In Australia, this type of loan is generally more suited to property investors than people buying a home to live in, although it may also be attractive to people who want cheaper initial repayments on their first home.
