Home Loans Gold Coast
At OAK Tree Finances we understand how important it is to get the right advice and the right help that’s why we’ve simplified our home loan process into two simple questions.
1. Do you want a fixed or a variable rate home loan?
2. Is a simple stand-alone home loan right for you or would a home loan package be more advantageous?
Fixed Home Loans
Fixed home loans are perfect if you want to secure an interest rate for a period of time (normally 1, 2, 3 or 5 years). With a fixed home loan, you have certainty with repayments and interest charges during the fixed period and protection against rising interest rates for a period of time.
On the other hand, fixed home loans may have additional fees when making additional payments, common home loan features may not be available, and will either convert to a variable rate loan at the end of the term, or you may have the option to fix the loan for an additional term.
Variable Rate Home Loans
With a variable rate loan, your interest rate is variable and can increase or decrease with the market conditions. They typically allow you to make additional payments without charges, offer offset and redraw facilities, and repay the loan at any time without early repayment penalties.
With a variable rate loan, you will benefit from any reductions in interest rates, but also are susceptible to paying higher interest if interest rates rise.
Is a Fixed or Variable Rate Home Loan Right for me?
Both fixed and variable rate loans have their advantages and disadvantages and depending on your unique circumstances may find that one is more advantageous to you over the long run than the other. Where in some cases using a combination convertible home loan, that uses both a fixed and a variable period may offer significant savings.

Basic Home Loans vs. Home Loan Packages
After you’ve decided on whether you want a fixed, variable, or convertible home loan, we take a closer look at your financial situation and help you determine if you would benefit from a basic home loan or if a home loan package would be more advantageous for you.
