About this rate option

This IMB Budget Home Loan rate option is for investment property, with a variable rate of 6.64% (comparison rate 6.54%) that can move when the lender changes its rates. It offers interest-only repayments, keeping the balance unchanged during the interest-only period before reverting to principal-and-interest. Borrowers can access up to 90% of the property value, meaning a deposit of at least 10%, and deposits under 20% usually attract Lenders Mortgage Insurance. The loan carries no monthly fees and allows unrestricted additional repayments with free redraw via internet and mobile banking. It is available for new funds only, not as a switch or refinance from another IMB home loan, and lending criteria apply.

About Budget Home Loan

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.

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.

Fees & Costs

Generally speaking, variable home loans without offset accounts are often called basic or 'no-frills' loans, you get lower account-keeping fees and lower interest rate for your home loan. In some cases a basic home loan can actually be cost efficient than a 100% offset account.
IMB charge a discharge fee of $350, which covers the cost for removing the mortgage that has been registered on the title of your property.
There is upfront costs of $799 to apply for Budget Home Loan, with no ongoing account keeping fees.

Borrowing Limits

An LVR of 90% is a high risk, whereas an LVR of 80% or less is considered safe by most lenders. The majority of lenders will require you to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if you borrow over 80% LVR.

💡 Tip: To get approved for an interest only home loan you need to have a strong enough income to afford principal and interest (P&I) repayments once your interest only term expires. Sometimes extending your interest only period can be tough and getting approved for a P&I refinance is a lot easier.
