FIND SOME QUICK ANSWERS
What is Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) and how can it affect your home buying potential?
When you’re applying for a first home loan (or any home loan), your Loan to Value Ratio represents the amount of your loan compared to the value of the property.
Here’s an example: Say you want to buy a house for $500,000 and you’ve saved $50,000 as a deposit. Your LVR would be 90 percent since your loan will be 90 percent of the value of the property.
LVR is one of the ways lenders assess home buyer loan applications. By saving more for your deposit, you can lower your LVR and increase the strength of your application.
What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) and do I need it?
If you’re borrowing more than 80 percent of the value of a property from a bank, it’s likely you’ll need Lenders Mortgage Insurance. LMI protects your lender in case you default on your loan.
LMI is a once-only cost. It’s not something you need to pay every year or month. Many borrowers add the LMI cost to their mortgage and repay it over time. To learn more, read our LMI factsheet (PDF).
What is stamp duty?
Stamp duty is a state government tax that is payable on the transfer of a property. The exact amount will vary based on the state in which you’re purchasing the property.
As an incentive for first home buyers, some Australian states and territories offer stamp duty concessions to those purchasing their first property, if the price is under a certain amount. Check your state government’s website for information about any grants and concessions available for first home buyers.
There may be more than one type of stamp duty payable when you buy your home. There's the duty, as described above, based on the property price. This is generally the highest government tax associated with the purchase. There may also be stamp duty on the mortgage. The rates vary depending on your state and the value of the property.
What are the benefits of an offset account?
Many home lenders offer customers the option of linking a home loan to a savings or transaction account, with the balance of this account reducing, or ‘offsetting’, the interest payable on the loan.
This feature is available on Suncorp Bank’s Standard Variable Rate home loan, with our Everyday Options Account operating in offset mode. Here’s how it works: your home loan interest is calculated on the outstanding balance of your linked Standard Variable home loan, less the balance of your main Everyday Options Account and linked sub-account balance/s.
The more money you have in offset mode, the less interest you’ll be charged on your home loan. As a trade off, you won’t be paid interest on the balance of your offset account.
What is a comparison rate?
A comparison rate is a rate that indicates the true cost of a loan. It’s called a comparison rate because it can make it easier to compare loans from different lenders.
The comparison rate incorporates certain fees and charges that are applicable for the chosen product. It’s calculated on a loan amount of $150,000 and a term of 25 years.
Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan.
For more information about the comparison rate and the comparison rate warning, please refer to the 'Things you should know' section of this page.
What is a ‘split’ loan?
When comparing home loans, you’ll generally see fixed and variable interest rate options. When you’re deciding what’s right for you, you don’t have to choose just one. You can set up a portion of your borrowings as 'fixed' and a portion as 'variable'. This can give you the benefits of both products and help reduce risks of changing interest rates. Learn more about splitting your home loan.
