What is a home loan?

A home loan, also known as a mortgage, is a type of loan specifically designed to help individuals purchase residential property. Here are the key features and components of home loans:

Key Features of Home Loans

Home loans are used primarily to buy a home, but they can also be used for refinancing an existing mortgage or for home renovations.

The amount borrowed is typically a percentage of the property’s purchase price, with lenders often requiring a deposit (down payment) of 10-20%.

Home loans can have fixed or variable interest rates.

  • Fixed Rate: The interest rate remains constant for the duration of the loan.
  • Variable Rate: The interest rate can change over time based on market conditions.

Home loans generally have repayment terms of up to 30 years, though shorter or longer terms can be available.

Borrowers make regular monthly payments that include both principal (the loan amount) and interest. Some loans may also include property taxes and insurance in the monthly payment.

  • Standard Home Loan: Basic mortgage for purchasing a home.
  • First Home Owner Loan: Special loans for first-time homebuyers, often with lower deposit requirements.
  • Investment Loan: For purchasing investment properties, often with different terms than standard home loans.
  • Construction Loan: For financing the building of a new home or renovations.

Many lenders offer pre-approval, which provides a conditional commitment on the loan amount based on your financial situation, helping you understand your budget when house hunting.

Home loans may come with various fees, including application fees, valuation fees, and ongoing account fees. Additionally, borrowers might need to pay lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI) if the deposit is below 20%.
