Fixed vs variable home loans

Pros and cons so you can choose what suits your situation.

Choosing between loan options

Variable loans usually offer more flexibility: extra repayments, redraw, and offset accounts. Your repayment can move when the lender changes rates.

Fixed loans give predictable repayments for the fixed term, which helps budgeting. Trade-offs can include limits on extra repayments and break fees if you refinance or sell during the fixed period.

You can also split your loan: part fixed, part variable. We run the numbers with you so the structure fits how you use your money day to day.
