Types of Bankwest home loans
The type of home loan you are best suited to depends on your financial situation, your financial goals and the type of property you have or are buying:
- Variable rate home loans. Bankwest offers a range of competitive variable rate loans. You can take advantage of low introductory rates, discounted for the first year of your loan to help you ease into being a mortgage holder.
- Fixed rate home loans. If you're on a tight budget or just like the security and reliability of knowing what your repayments are going to be, you may want to consider a Bankwest fixed interest rate loan. You can reduce your interest repayments if you take advantage of the linked offset facility.
- Accessing equity. If you have an existing home you may consider using a Bankwest equity loan to access the value you have built up in your property. You can use a Bankwest line of credit facility as part of your equity loan, or use the specialised seniors equity release option to help fund your retirement.
- First home buyer loans. Bankwest is also able to offer support for first home buyers who may not have the required documentation and may benefit from a discount in the first year of their loan.
- Investment loans. Bankwest offers interest-only repayments for investors, a complimentary credit card to help you manage expenses and a fixed interest rate loan to maintain cash flow or a loan with no ongoing fees.

when paying off a mortgage in full, what charges are there
Hi Brown,
Thanks for your question.
If you repay your mortgage early, you’ll be liable for break fees and discharge costs.
The fees and charges will depend on your loan and how early you paid it off.
For more information, please see our page on home loan exit fees.

I want to be a Guarantor for my daughter who wants to borrow $335000 to buy a unit in Merrylands. She wants to borrow 100% loan. I have two mortgages with bankwest. No problem with my repayments. Value of my houses $1800000. I owe bankwest on both mortgages $546000. If I can get a loan from the bank I may transfer my loans to a bank that will accept to give my daughter the loan and I am her guarantor. My daughter has permanent job with the department of corrective services on an income of $70000 plus a year.
Hello Joe,

You may wish to speak to Bankwest directly regarding this matter, as they’ll be able to help you with the ins and outs of guarantor loans.
