Expert review
The ANZ Breakfree Home Loan Package Fixed is a full documentation loan, meaning you must be able to supply a full range of income evidence including payslips, bank statements and other supporting documents.
This loan is a package home loan. It offers a rate discount and fee waivers in exchange for you moving your banking to ANZ and also paying an annual fee.
About this loan
What are the features and benefits of the ANZ Breakfree Home Loan Package Fixed Rate?
- Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR). You can borrow up to 90% of the property's value with Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI), or 80% without LMI. The minimum amount you may borrow with these terms and rates is $150,000.
- Loan terms. For the fixed rate portion of this loan you can choose terms between 1 and 5 years, or a 7 or 10-year term. The overall loan can be spread out over 30 years.
- Repayment frequency. You have the choice of weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments, enabling you to match your home loan to your salary.
- Repayment types. You are allowed the option of interest-only repayments for up to 5 years with this loan if you're an owner occupier, or 10 years if you're an investor. You may also make additional repayments during the fixed rate period so long as they total less than 5% of the loan or $5,000 during the fixed term, whichever is less. You could incur an early repayment cost if you exceed these amounts.
- Redraw. Once your loan reverts to the variable rate you are able to redraw any extra repayments you have made.
- Offset account. A 100% offset account is only available if you choose the 1-year fixed rate option. An offset account is a linked transaction account, in which any funds deposited into it can offset the interest on your home loan, saving you over the course of your home loan.
What fees and charges come with this loan?
- Annual fee. A $395 charge will be added to your account each year that your loan is open.
- Rate lock fee (optional). $750. This fee is charged in the event that you wish to lock in the advertised rate at the time of application for up to 90 days. This guarantees you will receive the advertised rate you apply for, rather than the possibility of a less favourable rate in the time taken for your loan to settle.
Fee savings as part of the Breakfree package
The Breakfree package waives a number of fees, including:
- Loan approval fee. $600. This fee is waived as part of the Breakfree Package. ANZ usually charges it for the preparation of your loan paperwork.
- The ANZ One Offset account fee. $10 per month. This account is only offered on the 1-year fixed term.
- ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum credit card. This includes a $240 annual account fee and a $55 rewards program services fee.
