Understand your borrowing power

Have you thought about what you’re going to do with your current property – keep it as an investment, or sell it before buying a second home to live in?  Assessing your existing home equity can help you understand how much you can borrow.

No matter what you choose to do, applying for pre-approval can help you know where your buying limit lies.  Pre-approval is 100% fee free, valid for 3 months and once approved you are under no obligation to lend with Suncorp Bank.

Use cashback to access more money

If you’ve made extra repayments on your variable home loan you could access these funds via cashback, which could be a way to help pay for your next home.

Buy before selling or sell before buying?

You might be selling your home before you buy a new one, or buying before you sell. Either way its best to talk to one of our home loan specialists to understand what you can afford and ensure you’re aware of all the costs. They can work through the best way to structure and manage your mortgage.

Selling your existing property

If you’re starting to plan for how to sell your house, there are plenty of considerations and questions to ask: Are you thinking of renovating to add value to your home? Do you need help moving into your new home? Do you need legal advice to sell your property? We can make selling your home easier by arming you with information to help you through the process.

# COMPARISON RATE:
A comparison rate is a rate that indicates the true cost of a loan. This comparison rate is based on $150,000 over a term of 25 years and incorporates certain fees and charges that are applicable for the chosen product.

WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. 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. Comparison rates for Interest Only Fixed Rate home loans are based on an initial Interest Only period equal in length to the fixed rate period. Comparison rates for Interest Only Variable home loans are based on an initial 5 year Interest Only period.

*Our Special Offers, Package and Standard Interest Rates explained

Interest rates displayed may include a discount margin applied to the applicable Standard Interest Rate and discount margins are subject to maximum LVR requirements. Loan to Value Ratio (“LVR”) limits are inclusive of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) where applicable.

All rates are valid until withdrawn and are subject to change. For Better Together Special Offer & Home Package Plus Special Offer, an Everyday Options Account will be opened for all new customers that do not already hold a Suncorp Bank transaction account. Pre-approvals are excluded from Special Offer rates.

For Fixed Rate products, the standard Fixed Rate offered on the day of settlement of the loan will apply unless the rate is secured by paying a Guaranteed Rate Fee. At expiry of the fixed rate period, the rate will revert to the applicable Standard Variable Interest Rate less any applicable margin discount specified in your credit contract. The Interest Only period on a Fixed Rate must equal the Fixed Rate term.

Fixed loans are allowed extra repayments of up to $500 per monthly repayment period without penalty. If an extra repayment is made in excess of the allowance, an Early Payment Interest Adjustment (EPIA) will apply. Find out more about EPIA.

Interest only repayments are subject to credit approval. Before choosing an interest-only repayment option, it's important you understand the potential risks associated with this product feature. As the name suggests, interest-only repayments means you'll repay the interest charges but you are not required to repay the principal during the interest-only period. Since repayments to reduce the principal are not being made during the interest-only period, the full loan amount will still be due at the end of the interest-only period. You will pay more in interest than if you made principal and interest repayments.

Please note that the amounts displaying are indicative only and do not represent Suncorp Bank making an offer of credit or providing loan approval.

Lenders Mortgage Insurance

If you are borrowing more than 80% of the value of the property, you will be required to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance. This is a one-off payment and can be financed into the loan.

Lenders Mortgage Insurance protects Suncorp Bank against loss in the event of a forced sale of a mortgage property. It does not insure you but may make it possible for you to buy a home with a smaller deposit. You will still be responsible for all amounts owing in relation to your loan.

What is home loan cashback/redraw?

A home loan redraw facility allows you to request access to any extra repayments you’ve made into your home loan above and beyond the minimum required repayments.

What is an offset account?

An offset account is an everyday account that is linked to your home loan. You can deposit your salary and savings into that account (and sub-savings accounts) and the balance is then offset against the amount owing on your home loan.
