Expert review

This loan is available for owner-occupiers, investors and refinancers. It's a flexible variable rate loan with minimal fees that allows borrowers to make extra repayments. The loan also has a redraw facility.

About this loan

What are the features and benefits of the NAB Base Variable Rate Home Loan?

  • Redraw facility. You can redraw on your home loan for free if you're ahead of your scheduled repayments. The minimum redraw amount is $500.
  • Maximum loan size. You can borrow up to 95% of the property's value, which can help those who are unable to save for a large deposit. If you're an investor or opting for interest only payments, the maximum limit is 90%.
  • Loan portability. If you sell the home before paying out the loan, you can buy a new home and still maintain the same home loan. This saves you the cost and hassle of setting up a new home loan.

What fees and charges come with this loan?

  • Discharge fee: $350. This fee is payable when you pay out your loan.

      Hi Diane,

      Thank you for reaching out to finder.

      Yes, you can borrow up to 95% of the property’s value with this product. In other words, this loan is available with a 5% deposit, however, a larger deposit is fine too. Is there anything else that I could assist you with? Hope this helps!

      Cheers,
      Reggie

      Hi Amanda,

      Thank you for leaving a question.

      Here is an excerpt from our page regarding NAB Home loans.
      “NAB is offering a 1.42% p.a. discount off the current advertised indicator rate on its Base Variable Rate principal and interest loan for new owner-occupier customers borrowing $20,000 or more. This is a limited time offer. Other conditions may apply.”
      You may want to check this out as this is a limited time offer.

      Cheers,
      Reggie

    Hi,
    I want to buy my first home in Victoria. I have been a NAB Customer for two years now. I have a PR and been working in the same job for 1 yr and 9 mos.

    I have a running car loan of 750 p.w. Would I be eligible for a 95% LVR to buy my first home?

    Thanks.

      Hi Sam,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      You can borrow up to 95% of the property value with many NAB mortgages including the NAB Base Variable Rate Home Loan above. You can go to our list of NAB mortgages if you’d like to compare this loan to other NAB home loan offers. You can use our comparison table to see a side-by-side comparison.

      Once you have chosen a particular loan product, you may then head to NAB’s official website to discuss your eligibility and proceed with the application. While each NAB product has specific eligibility criteria, some will apply to all products:

      • You must be over 18 years of age.
      • You should be a resident of Australia.
      • You should have a regular source of income.

      So 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 when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.

      If you would like to check other providers, see our comparison table with a list of home loans with 95% LVRs.

      I hope this helps.

      Have a great day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni
