Should you choose a fixed or variable interest rate?

When it comes time to choose the type of home loan you should have, it can feel overwhelming. To help you through this decision, we've outlined the pros and cons of fixed and variable interest rates. Of course, we are also available to discuss your options with you directly.

Pros and cons of a fixed rate

A fixed rate loan is a loan with a fixed interest rate and therefore fixed loan repayments. The time period of these loans can vary, but you can usually "lock in" your repayments for between 1-5 years, with the total loan term being 30 years

Pros:

  • Repayments do not rise when other interest rates rise
  • Provides peace of mind for borrowers concerned about rate rises
  • Allows more precise budgeting

Cons:

  • Repayments do not fall if interest rates fall
  • Allows only limited additional payments
  • You may be penalised for early payout of the loan

Pros and cons of a variable rate

A variable interest rate can change over time. So if you choose a variable-rate home loan, the interest you are charged can increase and/or decrease throughout the loan term.

Pros

  • Variable rate home loans typically offer more flexibility and features
  • You may be able to make additional repayments on top of your minimum repayments
  • If interest rates fall, the amount of interest you are charged may decrease.

Cons

  • Budgeting can be difficult due to not knowing exactly how much your repayments will be if rates change.
  • If interest rates rise, the amount of interest you are charged may increase.
