What type of home loans are there?

There’s more to buying a home than just choosing the right property – there’s also the question of how to structure your loan. Generally speaking, there are three types of home loan rates available. A fixed rate will see your interest payments remain steady for a set period of time, while a variable rate could see them go up and down. A split rate, on the other hand, can allow you to combine the two at a percentage split that’s appropriate for your needs.

If you want to lock in a steady home loan interest rate for the medium term, then one option might be to choose a five-year fixed rate home loan. You can find answers below to some of the most frequently asked questions about five-year fixed rate home loans. Otherwise, you can also use the comparison table at the top of the page to compare current home loans on the market from our online partners.

Frequently Asked Questions about 5-year Fixed Home Loans

A five-year fixed rate home loan is one in which the interest rate you’ll pay on the balance of the loan is locked in place or ‘fixed’ for a period of five years. This means that, throughout the entire five-year term, the interest rate will remain the same, and you will be guaranteed that it will not fluctuate, as it would with a variable rate loan.

It is possible to lock in a home loan rate for a shorter or longer period of time, depending on your preference and what your lender is willing to offer. For example, you may only want to fix your rate for a comparatively short period of one, two or three years. Alternatively, if you are happy with your rate, you may choose to lock it in for five years.

What are potential advantages of a 5-year fixed home loan?

There can be a number of possible benefits you could see from locking in an interest rate for five years. These include:

  • protection from interest rate rises. With a five-year fixed rate, your repayments will remain the same from month to month for the whole five-year period. This means that you will be protected from interest rate rises, for that period, and if your lender raises interest rates significantly on the home loan you have, you will still be paying a lower rate.
  • a sense of certainty in your repayments. Along with protection from interest rate rises comes a certainty in your repayments. Knowing that you will be paying the same interest rate on your home loan for five years can give you the ability to budget for other needs and expenses, while knowing exactly how much your mortgage will cost. Keep in mind the comparison rate on a home loan product will combine the interest rate with most fees and charges, to give you a more accurate cost of the loan overall.
  • the potential to save on fees and charges. Variable rate loans come with added features such as offset accounts and redraw facilities. While these may be appealing, they can also make a loan more expensive, so if you are happy without these extras, a five-year fixed loan could include fewer fees and charges.

What are potential drawbacks of a 5-year fixed home loan?

While locking in an interest rate for five years can give you a sense of security in your repayments, there are a number of possible downsides to consider, including:

  • the potential to miss out on a lower interest rate. When you lock your rate in, you will be protected from interest rate rises, but conversely, you will also miss out if interest rates fall.
  • an inability to make additional repayments. In general, variable rate home loans are structured in a way that allows you to make extra repayments, bringing down the balance of the loan and reducing the interest you pay. Fixed rate loans generally do not come with this feature, and if they do, it will usually come at an extra cost.
  • fewer features. The features of a variable rate home loan can be appealing. For example, depending on your loan, you may be able to use an offset account to lower the balance of your home loan, while having access to your funds for everyday banking. If you do want to have features like this on a fixed rate loan, some lenders may offer them at an extra cost, but with a fixed rate loan, you may feel you are missing out on added features.

Generally speaking, when a five-year fixed term (or any fixed term) ends on a home loan, you will have several options. You could:

  • revert to a variable rate with your current lender
  • refinance with your current lender or a new lender at a new fixed rate
  • refinance with your current lender or a new lender at a split rate
  • refinance with a new lender at a variable rate.

Generally speaking, it is possible to break a fixed home loan, though this will depend on the specific terms and conditions of the home loan product you take out. If your contract allows you to exit from your loan early, it’s likely that you will be charged a ‘break cost’ or a ‘break fee’. Lenders generally charge this amount as a form of compensation for lost profits that they may face as a result of borrowers breaking loans.

Explore further: Breaking a fixed-rate home loan: What are break costs?

While there is no set amount for break fees, they generally take into account the fixed interest rate (relative to current interest rates), the amount of time left on the loan, and the amount of the loan itself.

Important information

For those that love the detail

This advice is general and has not taken into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider whether this advice is right for you.

Canstar may earn a fee from its Online Partners for referrals from its website tables, and from sponsorship or promotion of certain products. Fees payable by product providers for referrals and sponsorship or promotion may vary between providers, website position, and revenue model. Sponsorship/promotion fees may be higher than referral fees. If a product is sponsored or promoted, it’s an ad and it is clearly marked as such. An ad might appear in different places on our website, such as in comparison tables and articles. Ads may be displayed in a fixed position in a table, regardless of the product's rating, price or other attributes. The location of an ad doesn’t indicate any ranking or rating by Canstar. Payment of fees for ads does not influence our Star Ratings. See How We Get Paid to find out more.

Home loan Star Ratings are updated monthly. The results don’t include every provider in the market and we may not compare all features relevant to you. Current rates and fees are displayed and may be different to what was rated. You can find a description of the initial sort order below the table. You can use the sort buttons at the top of each column to re-order the display. Learn more about our Home Loans Star Rating Methodology. The rating shown is only one factor to take into account when considering products. The table defaults to display only home loans available to somebody borrowing 80% of the total loan amount but you can use the filters to change this. Similar products might have different features and fees depending on the amount you borrow. Contact the lender for details.

The products and Star Ratings in the table might not match your exact inputs in the selector. Sometimes the methodology uses profiles with categories or bands (e.g. income, loan amount or monthly spend), but sometimes a single methodology, without any categories or bands, is applied.  The results will show the products that most closely match your selection, based on our profiles. If you are unsure about any terms used in the comparison table please refer to the glossary.

What is a Target Market Determination?

A Target Market Determination (‘TMD’) is a document that explains which people particular financial products may be suitable for (the target market) and sets out any conditions around how financial products can be distributed to consumers.

Why do product issuers provide Target Market Determinations?

From 5 October 2021, TMDs are compulsory for most financial products.

Issuers and distributors of financial products must take reasonable steps that are likely to result in financial products reaching consumers in the target market defined by the product issuer.

We recommend that you consider the TMD before making a purchase decision. Contact the product issuer directly for a copy of the TMD.

Any advice on this page is general and has not taken into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider whether this general financial advice is right for your personal circumstances. Canstar provides information about credit products. We’re not suggesting or recommending a particular credit product for you. If you decide to apply for a loan, you will deal directly with the provider, not with Canstar. Consider the Target Market Determination (TMD) before making a purchase decision. Contact the product issuer directly for a copy of the TMD. It’s important you check rates and product information directly with the provider. For more information, read our Detailed Disclosure. ^Read the Comparison Rate Warning.

Before you elect to terminate or modify existing lending arrangements, we recommend you consider (i) your personal circumstances, and (ii) any associated fees, exit costs and application costs that may be applicable as well as the impact these changes could have on you. We suggest you consider seeking independent advice from a qualified adviser.

“Interest-only loan” generally means a loan where you will only pay interest during the interest-only term. That means you won’t be making payments which reduce debt during the interest-only term.

On some Home Loan products, you can choose to be referred to a mortgage broker who has been certified by Canstar according to our certification process. Mortgage brokers may not be able to offer loans from every provider. The loans included in the table are loans that Canstar Certified Mortgage Brokers can discuss with you, if you choose to do so. There may be more suitable loans for your personal circumstances.

If a broker successfully completes the Canstar certification process, they may pay Canstar a fee to use the official Canstar Certified Mortgage Broker badge. Canstar may earn a fee from the Canstar Certified Mortgage Broker, or the broker group they are affiliated with, if you settle a Home Loan via a Canstar Certified Mortgage Broker after being referred to the broker by Canstar.  Fees payable may vary depending on the home loan product and product provider.

Not all mortgage brokers available in the market have undertaken the certification process.  Canstar has invited a limited number of brokers to undertake the process, and only those brokers who have successfully completed the certification process are entitled to use the logo and wording “Canstar Certified Mortgage Broker”. Being certified as a Canstar Certified Mortgage Broker is not a representation that the holder’s mortgage broking services are superior to all other brokers who do not hold the certification.

Canstar Certified Mortgage Brokers are independent contractors, operate under their own Australian Credit Licence, or as Credit Representatives under an Australian Credit Licence, and are not Canstar’s agent or representative. They are not Home Loan product providers, but they can make recommendations to you about Home Loan products that may suit your needs. The broker may require you to enter into an agreement with them in relation to the services they can provide.  Canstar will have no knowledge of or input into the advice and product recommendations you receive from a Canstar Certified Mortgage Broker.

If you choose to be referred to a Canstar Certified Mortgage Broker, you will be taken to have accepted Canstar’s Terms of Use.

Your use of the Canstar Group’s Mortgage Broker Referral tool does not mean that you will be eligible to be approved for any particular home loan.
