Fixed term options

Unlike in the US, there are no lenders in Australia that offer 20 or 30 year fixed rates for standard residential home loans. Athena Home Loan offers fixed loan terms between 1 - 3 years.

Selling the property or refinance during the fixed rate term can trigger hefty fees for breaking a fixed rate contract, and fixed rate loans tend to have restrictions on making extra repayments. Before you lock your rate in, you need to be sure that a fixed rate home loan is suitable for your situation.

LVR options

LVR is an acronym for Loan-To-Value Ratio. The LVR is the amount you are borrowing against the property value being used as security, represented as a percentage.

Athena Home Loan offers tier pricing for lower LVR.

Repayment options

Interest only loans have traditionally been tailored to investors so they can reduce their mortgage repayments and maximise their tax benefits and overall return on investment (ROI). However, getting home loan with interest only (IO) has its place and some lenders are willing to consider your application if you can provide valid reasons.

Interest only repayment option is not available with Athena Home Loan for buying next home.
