Expert review

The Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus Package Fixed Rate is a great option for owner occupiers and investors if you need additional products but don’t want to fork out too much extra. This home loan offers a discount on its fixed interest rate when you take out a package, in exchange for an annual package fee instead. If you like to do all of your banking in one place and you’re in the market products like a car loan or personal loan, you can get reduced rates there too.

Although you might be worried about the $395 annual fee, there are no other fees to consider. It’s important to work out the savings you would make from the packaged products to see if the annual fee is worth it. But if it is, you’ll also benefit from being able to pay an extra $25,000 a year towards your home loan as well as being able to redraw from your additional repayments.
