Expert review

You can apply for this home loan package if you wish to buy a home to live in. It's also available for borrowers refinancing principal and interest investment loans, although different rates apply to investment purchases. You can choose a fixed term of between one and five years, after which you can fix for another term or let the rate revert to a discounted variable rate.

This loan is a package loan, meaning that while you get a competitive interest rate and discounted fees, you will pay an annual package fee. The package, however, offers you access to other Bankwest products with certain fees waived also.

About this loan

What are the features and benefits of the Bankwest Complete Home Loan Package - Fixed Rate?

  • Loan amount, term, and LVR. This fixed rate home loan package comes with a minimum borrowing limit of $200,000, and the maximum amount depends on factors like your financial standing, the valuation of any given home, and your ability to make repayments. The maximum loan to value ratio (LVR) if you're prepared to pay Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI) stands at 90% and the loan term can go up to 30 years.
  • Offset account. With this loan you can choose to add a 40% or partial offset transaction account, which partially reduces the amount of interest charged on your home loan. You can add up to nine separate offset accounts. This offset account doesn't attract a monthly offset fee under the package.
  • Flexible repayments. You can make weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayments with this loan. You have the ability to make extra repayments up to $10,000 per year.
  • Credit card. You can choose to add an eligible credit card and pay no annual fee as part of the package. You can choose to add either a Bankwest Qantas Mastercard (premium tier only), a Bankwest More Mastercard (Classic or Platinum tier) or a Bankwest Breeze Mastercard (Classic or Platinum). Other fees and charges may apply.
