To help you understand which type of mortgage will benefit
you most, we have detailed the most common loan types below with brief
explanations of each. When we meet with you to discuss your individual needs,
we may advise you to consider one or more loan types, and you are not limited
to only one option.
Fixed Rate Loans
When you have a fixed rate mortgage your interest rate is set for a period of
time, often ranging from six months to five years. A fixed rate mortgage
provides you with a guaranteed interest rate for the duration of the loan
period and is an excellent option when rates are rising, or you need certainty
of what your payments are going to be. The bank where we secure your mortgage
may allow you to pay more than the minimum off a fixed rate loan. We can
help you find out how you can use this to your benefit, saving yourself
thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
Variable or Floating Rate Loans
With this type of loan, the interest rate you pay, rises and falls in
accordance with current market conditions. Variable rate mortgages can be
somewhat volatile, and there are no limits on how much an interest rate may
increase. You should only consider a variable rate loan if you are confident
you can manage the risk of an interest rate increase. We will have some idea
of what interest rates are expected to do over the short, medium and long
term, so we will be able to help you make the choice best suited to your
needs.
Capped Loans
A capped loan has a ceiling limit set on how high the interest rate can rise.
If the interest rate again falls below your "cap", your interest rate will go
down with the variable rate.
Flexible Loans
This type of mortgage works somewhat like an overdraft facility. You can draw
on your loan and repay it as you can, provided that you make minimum monthly
payments. The interest rate is usually the same as the variable rate. While
this type of loan is not suited to everyone, a flexible loan can help you save
a considerable sum over the term of the mortgage.
Interest Only Loans
With an interest only mortgage loan you only pay the interest and no
principal, so the loan balance will remain the same.
