Home loan rates: common questions.
What is LVR?
What is LVR?
LVR stands for loan-to-value ratio. It is the size of your home loan compared with the value of the property, shown as a percentage.
For example, borrowing $400,000 on a $500,000 home is an 80% LVR.
Why is 80% LVR the key number?
Why is 80% LVR the key number?
Banks usually offer their best interest rates when you have at least a 20% deposit or equity, which is an LVR of 80% or less.

How often do banks change rates?
There is no set schedule. Banks can change their interest rates at any time and without notice, sometimes several times in a month.

What’s the difference between fixed, floating, offset and revolving credit?
What’s the difference between fixed, floating, offset and revolving credit?
Fixed: the rate stays the same for the chosen term, from 6 months to 5 years.
Floating rate: the rate can move up or down at any time, but you get greater flexibility to make extra or lump-sum repayments, reducing the overall interest you pay.
Offset: money in linked accounts reduces the interest you pay.
Revolving credit: works like a large overdraft, where your income and savings reduce the balance until you need them.
