Standard Variable Loan

Standard variable loans are Australia’s most popular type of home loan. The interest rate varies throughout the loan term.

Advantages:

  • Flexibility
  • Lump-sum payments can be made without incurring a penalty.
  • If interest rates fall, your repayments will fall.
  • Often offer extra features.

Disadvantages:

If interest rates rise your repayments will rise.
