One Year Fixed Interest Rate Home Loans


Fixed interest rate home loans offers you a fixed interest rate so you have a fixed repayment amount over a set term, usually between 6 months and 10 years. The most commonly used fixed interest rate term in Australia is 3 years.

A fixed interest rate home loan is set by your lender; they borrow money from the wholesale money markets and then sells’ this on to you. The cost to the lender of borrowing this money is determined by what the money markets believe interest rates will do over a set term. Your lender will then add a margin to this, the final interest rate is then offered to you for the fixed term you are applying for.
