Understanding Your Home Loan
What Should You Compare Before Choosing a Loan?
A home loan should not be assessed only by the advertised interest rate. Loan features, fees, repayment flexibility, lender policies and your longer-term plans can all affect the suitability and overall cost of a lending option.
LoanFi explains the key differences in clear language so you can make a more informed decision.
Interest Rate and Comparison Rate
Review the rate together with applicable fees, loan structure and relevant comparison information.
Fees and Upfront Costs
Consider lender fees, valuation costs, legal expenses, government charges and other property purchase costs.
Fixed or Variable Interest
Understand the flexibility, repayment certainty and restrictions that may apply to each rate structure.
Offset and Redraw Features
Review whether an offset account, redraw facility or additional repayment option matches how you manage money.
Loan Term and Repayments
Consider repayment affordability and how the selected loan term may affect the total interest paid.
Lender Eligibility Requirements
Each lender may assess income, expenses, employment, residency, credit history and deposit differently.

Home Loan FAQs
Common Questions About Home Loans
Find clear answers about borrowing capacity, deposits, mortgage brokers, visa holders and the home loan application process.
Borrowing capacity depends on factors such as income, expenses, dependants, existing debts, available deposit, credit history, loan term and individual lender assessment policies. LoanFi can review your circumstances and provide an initial estimate before you begin searching for a property.
Deposit requirements vary according to the lender, loan type, property, borrower profile and whether lender’s mortgage insurance or an eligible home buyer support program is involved. You should also plan for legal costs, inspections, government charges and other purchase expenses.
A mortgage broker can review your borrowing needs, compare suitable products across a panel of participating lenders, explain key features and costs, prepare the application and communicate with the lender throughout the assessment process.
Some lenders may consider eligible temporary visa holders. Available options, deposit requirements and approval criteria can vary according to the visa type, income, employment, property and overall circumstances.
Yes. Depending on the lender and application, self-employed borrowers may verify income through tax returns, financial statements, business activity statements, bank statements or eligible alternative documentation pathways.
Pre-approval is a lender’s conditional indication that it may be prepared to lend up to a certain amount based on the information assessed at that time. It is not unconditional approval and may remain subject to property valuation, updated financial information and other lender conditions.
Yes. LoanFi is based in Canberra and supports clients across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart, Darwin and regional Australia through phone, video and digital application processes.
