Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can if you use your home loan’s portability feature. Portability allows you to change the property secured against your loan from your old property to your new one without closing out your existing loan. Portability avoids all the time, costs, and hassles of applying for a brand-new loan. Best of all, if you have a fixed rate home loan, you can buy and sell using portability without the fear of paying break costs.

 


For questions or more information about portability call: 132 558 8am-8pm (Sydney time), Monday-Saturday, or request a callback.

*Loan repayment options: Conditions apply for all the options listed. Please be aware that:

  • Reduced loan repayments: It is important to understand that at the end of the reduced repayment period, the repayment amount will increase to adjust for the reduced repayments. This ensures that the loan is still repaid within its original term. Read the disclosure documents for your selected product or service before deciding if this option is right for you.
  • Mortgage repayment pause: It is important to understand that you’ll continue to accrue interest while your repayments are paused. The length of your pause is determined by the amount of extra funds you have in your loan. Read the disclosure documents for your selected product or service before deciding if this option is right for you.
  • Switching to interest-only repayments: It is important to understand that interest rates for loans with interest-only repayments are higher. Your repayments will increase at the end of the interest-only period as the amount you’ve borrowed will need to be paid back in a shorter timeframe. This also means you’ll pay more interest over the life of the loan on interest-only repayments than if you’d opted to continue paying principal and interest.

 

^Changing repayment amount or frequency: Cannot be performed on an interest-only loan. However, you may make extra repayments. For more details on interest-only home loans

Interest Only repayments.
Conditions apply. It’s important to understand that interest rates for loans with Interest Only repayments are higher. Your repayments will increase at the end of the Interest Only term as the amount you’ve borrowed will need to be paid back in a shorter timeframe.
