Things to consider
Loan amount: Your home loan will depend on your individual circumstances, the value of the property you want to buy and your income.
Loan term: A home loan for first time buyers may be repaid over a maximum term of 40 years but should be repaid in full by retirement age.
Life insurance: To ensure that your home loan is repaid in the event of death, having an adequate life insurance is essential. We can also provide a life policy to suit your needs.
Building insurance: You must take out adequate buildings insurance. This should cover the cost of rebuilding your home and we recommend that you review the level of cover from time to time to protect your investment.
Variable interest rates: Variable rates can change over the term of your home loan. We quote the rate as a margin over our Home Loans Base Rate. If the Home Loans Base Rate changes, your variable interest rate will change as well. This will affect your monthly repayment.
