5 Year Fixed Rate FAQ's

What is a 5 year fixed rate home loan?

A 5 year fixed rate home loan is a type of loan that has a specific interest fixed for 5 years and therefore fixed loan repayments.

What happens when the 5 years is up?

Once the 5 years on a 5 year fixed rate home loan is up, you will have the option to fix your loan again for another period of time at the current market rates or convert the loan to a variable interest rate for the remainder of the total life of the loan.

Why choose fixed vs variable?

Understanding the difference between the two will help you choose between fixed and variable home loans. Fixed interest rates come with a set interest rate for a set period of time, whereas variable rates can change over time based on the current economic climate.

With a variable rate, you can benefit when your lender drops interest rates. Although if rates rise, your interest rate and repayments may also rise, where a fixed rate loan will have the same repayments throughout its duration.
