About this loan
What are the features and benefits of the Citi Mortgage Plus Fixed Rate?
- Fixed terms. Available from six months to five years.
- Free rate lock. If settlement occurs after the 60 days, then the prevailing fixed interest rate at the time of rate lock will apply. This means you won't lose out on the rate you want in the time it takes to settle.
- Loan amounts. There is a minimum loan amount of $350,000.
- Loan term. The maximum loan term is 30 years.
- Loan to value ratio. Note that this discounted rate is only available if your maximum LVR is 80% or below. You can borrow up to 90% of the property's value plus the LMI premium that you'll need to pay if you borrow more than 80% of the property's value, but keep in mind that the rate may be different if more than 80% is borrowed.
- Interest-only repayments. You can opt for interest-only repayments for a period of up to five years.
- Additional repayments. As mentioned above, you make additional repayments up to $1,000 per month. If you intend to make additional repayments greater than $1,000 per month, break charges will apply. Note that a 1% cash handling fee could apply if you make a cash deposit over $500 at a NAB branch.
- Redraw facility. This is not available for the fixed portion of your loan, but allows you to withdraw any additional repayments you've made.
