Features of the Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus Package Home Loan
The Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus Package Home loan offers many features in addition to the low variable interest rate:
- Flexible repayments. The Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus Package Home loan allows you to choose between weekly, fortnightly and monthly repayments. You can also choose to pay the interest-only portion of your repayments for a number of years. This is a great feature if you would like to free up some money for other expenditures.
- Additional repayments. The Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus Package Home loan allows you to make additional repayments whenever you like. There is no charge on these payments as long as the loan is not paid in full in the first four years. If you do repay the loan in the first four years, you will be charged an early payment fee. If you decide to take advantage of the additional repayment facility, you can also redraw the money at any time. The Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus Package Home loan allows you to make as many redraws as you would like for no charge.
- Repayment holiday. If you make these additional payments, choose to pause your repayments for a period of time. This can help in the event of financial hardship or a major life change.
- Mortgage offset account. The mortgage offset account allows you to reduce the interest payable on your home loan by the amount held in your account. This is a great way to reduce the interest you pay, and pay off your home loan sooner.
- Discounts on loans and insurance. You'll pay no application fees for car loans and personal loans with Newcastle Permanent as part of this deal. You'll also get discounts on some of the insurance products offered by The Newcastle Permanent, including:
- A 5% discount on Comprehensive Car Insurance.
- A 10% discount on Home and Contents Insurance.
- A 10% discount on Landlords Insurance.

Hi, can you tell me what the early payment fee is if you pay a mortgage out within 4 years please.
Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your question.
The Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus Package Home Loan charges early payment fee if you repay the loan in the first four years. The amount or rate for the early repayment fee is not clearly stipulated in the features of this loan. You may have to directly get in touch with Newcastle for the actual quote.

Hi,
Do you offer a 95% LVR with interest only repayments? If so what would be the interest rate?
Additionally if I have already paid LMI with my current financial institution, will I have to pay this again to transfer the loan to Newcastle Permanent?
Thanks
Hi Ads,
Thanks for your question.
The maximum LVR for Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus Package Home Loan is 90% with principal & interest and interest only options. If you are interested to compare other interest-only home loans, you can refer to this page.
If you’ll refinance at more than 80% LVR ratio for the new mortgage, you might end up paying Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) again. You can directly call Newcastle to confirm this.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Anndy
Max LVR: 90% for NPBS Premium Plus Package Home Loan? Does it mean that no LMI till 90%? Or is it just a mistake?
Hi Sudhindra,
thanks for the question.
The 90% maximum LVR will still require LMI. Borrowing over 80% with any lender will require LMI to be paid.
I hope this helps,
Marc.
Hi, I am currently with Ubank variable home loan with 4.09%. may i ask is it worthwhile refinance from Ubank to Newcastle Permanent despite the same is of 4.09%. but newcastle offer $2000 cashback. hope you can help. thanks.
Hi Stev,
thanks for the question.
Unfortunately I’m not able to comment on whether it’s worth refinancing to the Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus Package. I would recommend comparing both loans and their features to make sure moving to the Newcastle Permanent home loan still offers you what you want out of a home loan. Note that there are a number of differences between the loans e.g the UBank UHomeLoan Variable has no annual fee, and the Newcastle Permanent Premium Plus has an annual fee of $375.
I hope this helps,
Marc.
