Should I get a basic home loan or a package home loan?
❓ How do you know whether you should get a basic home loan or a package home loan? This can be a difficult question for many people especially if you haven’t had one before and you’re not sure what you need.
👉 Let’s start with what each loan type is:
– a basic home loan is a home loan with ‘no frills’ or no bells and whistles. It is a basic home loan at a low interest rate with lower fees
– a package home loan is a home loan that combines your mortgage with other banking services such as credit card, offset account and/or redraw facilities. There is usually a discount to the standard variable rate and fixed rate loans.
🎁 Package home loans usually have an annual fee which covers the cost of the added features and package benefits.
🏡 For a single loan on one property it is usually cheaper to go with a basic loan as the interest rate is usually more competitive and there are options with low establish costs and no ongoing fees.
🏡 🏡 If you’re a property investor or are looking to purchase another property, you may need multiple loan accounts for tax purposes then a package home loan may suit you better.
🤦♀️ I’ve pulled together a list of things to consider when choosing a loan:
– What are my short and long term goals?
– How long am I planning to have this home loan?
– Am I getting a best Interest rate?
– Will I use the added facilities that come with a package home loan?
– Am I going to make extra repayments on my home loan?
– Am I good at budgeting?
– What fees and charges are payable?
