Understanding Home Loans: What You Should Know

A home loan, or mortgage, is a financial arrangement that allows individuals to purchase residential property with funds provided by a lender. The borrower repays the borrowed amount, known as the principal, over an agreed term — typically up to 30 years. Before applying for a home loan, it’s important to consider several key factors:

Interest Rates: One of the most crucial elements to assess. Fixed rates remain steady for a set period (usually 1–5 years), while variable rates fluctuate depending on market changes. Evaluating the advantages and drawbacks of each will help you choose what best fits your financial situation and risk tolerance.

Loan Term: The term defines how long you’ll take to repay the loan. Common options range from 15 to 30 years, though other terms may be available. The length of the loan affects both your monthly repayments and the total interest paid over time.

Loan Amount: Before applying, determine how much you can afford to borrow by reviewing your income, expenses, and current debts. Choosing a reasonable loan amount helps ensure financial stability throughout your repayment period.

Down Payment: Most lenders require a 20% deposit when purchasing a property. If you’re unable to meet that amount, you may be required to pay Lenders Lend City Insurance (LMI). The size of your deposit can also influence your interest rate and loan options, so it’s important to plan accordingly.

Credit History: Your credit record plays a key role in determining both eligibility and interest rate. Lenders assess your credit score to understand your repayment history and financial reliability. Keeping your credit healthy — by paying bills on time and managing debt — will improve your chances of approval.

Additional Fees and Charges: It’s important to account for potential costs such as application fees, valuation fees, and ongoing service fees. These vary between lenders, so be sure to review all expenses before making your choice.
