The ME Flexible Fixed Home Loan offers a host of flexible features and options for borrowers. With no application or ongoing account-keeping fees, the loan allows you to put your income towards paying off the amount you borrow rather than contending with extra charges. It also allows you to make up to $30,000 of extra repayments during the fixed rate period, which you can then redraw from those additional funds when you need them.

ate you able to apply for this loan if you are self employed?

Hello Kylie,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Unfortunately, this is fully-documented loan and regular income requirements such as paystub, financial statements and tax return forms.
We recommend you consider low-doc loans, which is designed for self-employed individuals, sole traders and investors. Please use the calculator above the lender panel to estimate the costs of repayments prior applying, as well as the requirements.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Can disability pensioner get a low interest refinance home loan

Hi Ros,
Thanks for your enquiry.
There are some specialist lenders that may allow you to apply for a home loan while receiving pension benefits. I suggest that you speak with aa licensed mortgage broker A broker can help you understand your financial position and they can leverage their panel of networks to find a lender that’s more inclined to review your application.
Keep in mind that these types of applications are treated on a case-by-case basis but depending on the type of pension that you’re receiving, most lenders may also view the benefit as a secondary source of income. The lender will need to see that you are capable of repaying the loan and thus you may be required to demonstrate evidence of savings and good credit history.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions before making a decision on whether it is right for you.
All the best,
Belinda
