Home loans are no longer just about signing up for 30 years and making regular loan payments – nor even just about trying to pay off the mortgage as quickly as possible. Flexibility and peace of mind are just as important, and there is a range of loan options that offer such benefits. However, these extras can cost money, and the key feature is still the interest rate. It is a norm that before the settlement of the house, you would be very concerned with the interest rate, and you would be picky even if the difference is as low as 0.5%. However, like most of us, after the settlement of the house, normally one would just let its home loan sit idle on the desk collecting dust, and not managing it properly to see to that it still has the lowest interest rate on the marketplace. For a $1million home loan, the difference between a 4.4% and 3.6% rate would be $4,500 each year.

- Basic or vanilla loans: no frills loans with few features and the home loan interest rate will include a discount from the standard variable rate. Many now offer redraw facilities, but there can be restrictions and fees, so a basic loan may not suit if you want to make extra repayments and access them later. Most of the basic home loan does not have offset account, and will not be suitable if you have multiple loans with the same financial institution.
- Standard loans: offer more flexibility than basic You can redraw any extra money you’ve paid in, for example, and have the option to switch to a fixed rate, or split the loan into a fixed and variable portion. They also often offer a 100% offset account. However, standard variable home loan generally will not include any discount, it is the reference product when you want to compare the interest rate from a different product. Most of the basic home loan, package rate or fix rate will include a discount from the standard variable rate.
