Expert review

Providing a solution for everyone, Hume Bank’s variable rate home loan is available to both owner occupiers and investors. It also has interest rates covering a range of LVR bands, meaning that even if you’re a first home buyer you can get a competitive interest rate with just a 5% deposit. You can also choose whether to pay back the principal and interest or interest only. With no minimum or maximum loan amounts, it provides a great solution for those wanting to upscale and borrow a large amount. On the downside, borrowers don’t have the option for an offset account and you’ll likely need to pay a fee at the end of your loan.
