Expert review

This home loan package is ideal for first home buyers, those refinancing and the self-employed. This home loan has both full doc and self-employed options. Keep in mind that for full doc loans, lender's mortgage insurance is payable if you have an LVR of 80% or higher, or 60% and above for self-employed loans.

A new offering from RAMS Home Loans can see you get a discount of up to 1% p.a. on the life of your home loan.

About this loan

What are the features and benefits of the RAMS Value Advantage Package home loan?

Features of eligible RAMS home loans

The interest rates displayed above apply to the Full Feature Home Loan taken with the Value Advantage Package. The Full Feature Home Loan, as the name suggests, has a range of features you could find useful in a home loan. Suitable for owner-occupiers, first home buyers and refinancers, you have access to a redraw facility and an offset account. There is also a bridging and construction option. There are also other loans this package is available with:

  • Line of Credit Home Loan. Unlock the equity in your home with the RAMS line of credit home loan, suitable for investors and owner occupiers. Features include easy access through BPAY, debit card, cheque facilities and Bank@Post and the ability to delay your repayments for up to six months.

  • Self-Employed Line of Credit. Suitable for the self-employed who are looking to unlock the equity in their home, this loan also has a simple application process. You can also benefit from easy access to your equity using BPAY, debit cards, cheques or Bank@Post.
  • Fixed Rate Home Loan. Suitable for first home buyers and investors looking to fix their repayments for periods of 1,2,3,4,5 and 10 years. You can make additional repayments of up to $25,000 during your fixed period and access a redraw facility if you need to access the money. Interest-only repayments can also be set for a period of time.
  • Self-Employed Fixed Rate Home Loan. Suitable for the self-employed who are looking to fix their interest rates for 1,2,3,4,5 or 10 years.

What fees and charges come with this loan?

  • Application fees. $0. As part of the package loan, RAMS have waived the application fee for eligible home loans.
  • Monthly account-keeping fees. $0. Again, as part of the Value Advantage package, the monthly fees are waived for some home loans.

  • Valuation fees. The first valuation is free, however for each additional valuation the fee is $0.
  • Annual fee. $0. This fee is charged in return for the discounts and other benefits associated with this loan.
