Who is Online Home Loans?
Online Home Loans is a challenger brand backed by leading non-bank lender Resimac. Because Online Home Loans is web-based and doesn't have physical branches, it has lower overheads and can pass on competitive rates to you.
What home loans does Online Home Loans offer?
Standard
The Standard Home Loan is a variable rate loan. It is a full documentation home loan, so you’ll need to supply payslips and all other supporting information. It has a high maximum LVR of 95%, so you’ll only need a 5% deposit. It also comes with a 100% offset account, so you can save on interest costs and pay your loan off earlier.
Horizon
The Horizon Home Loan has the option of a competitive variable rate or a three-year fixed rate. The variable rate variant of this loan has a 100% offset account and allows extra repayments.
If you opt for the three-year fixed rate variant you can also pay for the Rate Lock feature which allows you to lock in the rate at the time of application to ensure it won’t change between application and settlement.
Both variants of this loan carry an annual fee of $299, and you can split the loan into multiple portions to take advantage of the different rate options.
What other services does Online Home Loans offer?
Online Home Loans also offers a mortgage broking service. A mortgage broker can help evaluate your requirements and then sort through home loans from many different lenders, including the big four banks and smaller lenders. They’ll then recommend the best mortgage products for you. Because mortgage brokers earn a commission from the lender that you choose, you pay no fee for this service.
