So if you’re in the market to buy an existing house, build a new one from scratch, or renovate a home and live in it in the foreseeable future, you can take advantage of this loan.

We can help you secure the perfect loan and make your dream home a reality!

Things to consider before getting an owner-occupied home loan

Below are some things you need to know before getting into an owner-occupied home loan:

The type of interest rate

Depending on your preference and financial situation, you can choose between a fixed or a variable rate. Fixed rates offer more certainty and stability, while variable rates are lower or can be higher, depending on the market.

The repayment method

You can opt for a principal and interest (P&I) or an interest-only (IO) loan, depending on your cash flow and investment goals. P&I loans reduce your loan balance over time, but IO loans have lower repayments in the short term.

The loan features

You should compare different home loans and look for features that suit your needs, such as offset accounts, redraw facilities, extra repayments, and split loans. These features can help you save money and manage your loan more effectively. Sounds overwhelming? Don’t worry, we’ll make sure that you understand all the ins and outs of owner-occupied home loans so you can choose the most suitable deal for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Owner-occupied loans are designed for your primary residence and typically have lower interest rates. Investment property loans are for properties you don't intend to live in and often come with higher rates.

Yes, you can refinance your loan, but the terms and rates may change if you convert it into an investment property. Be prepared for potential adjustments in your loan terms.

We earn a commission from the lender when your loan is settled. This is not deducted from your total loan amount, this is paid by the lender directly for introducing the loan.

No, you don't need a perfect credit score, but a higher credit score provides more options. We work with clients with a range of credit scores and can guide you on improving your credit if necessary to qualify for better loan terms.

Generally, lenders want a 20% deposit for the purchase of a property, however, we have many lenders who can accept a 5% deposit. We also have 0% deposit options.

Each bank has different Service Level Agreements (SLAS). However, generally within 2-3 business days.

The required documents vary, but common ones include proof of income, bank statements, tax returns, and identification. We'll provide you with a checklist and help you gather everything needed for your application.

Absolutely. We assist with various mortgage types, including fixed-rate, variable-rate and split loans to best align with your needs.

We do not charge upfront fees to borrowers. Our earnings come from the lender once the loan is secured. Due to increased demand for our services, we may charge you a fixed fee for Pre-approval as they do require significant resources and time to obtain. Many lenders have moved away from providing pre-approvals as 8 in 10 pre-approvals don’t proceed to purchase.
