About this loan

What are the features and benefits of the St.George Standard Variable Rate Home Loan?

  • Maximum loan amount. You can borrow up to 95% of the loan to value ratio (LVR) of the property if you're using the loan for owner occupied purposes, otherwise you can borrow up to 90% LVR when using the loan for investment purposes. LVRs above 80% require lenders mortgage insurance (LMI). The maximum loan term is 30 years, with the option of a 15 year interest-only period.
  • 100% offset account. An offset account is a transaction account linked to your home loan. Any funds in this account offset the interest payable on your home loan for the same amount.
  • Additional repayments. This loan gives you the option of making extra repayments at any time at no extra charge.
  • Redraw facility. A redraw facility allows you to access any extra funds you've paid into your home loan account.
  • Repayment options. The St George Standard Variable Rate Home Loan gives you the option of setting your repayments to weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments for principal and interest repayments. You can also elect to pay just the interest portion of your loan via monthly repayments.
