Expert review

The Westpac Fixed Rate Premier Advantage Package Home Loan is available to owner-occupied borrowers. An investment loan is available as well. There is also the Premier Advantage Package variable and line of credit loans.

With no maximum loan amount you just need your loan-to-value ratio approved by Westpac. Part of the package is a Westpac Choice transaction account which, if you don't already have one, can be opened when you apply.

What fees and charges come with this loan?

  • Annual fee: $395. This fee replaces other account keeping and establishment fees.
  • Discharge fee: $350. This is for the closing of all your home loan accounts.

      Hi Eddy,

      Thanks for reaching out.

      This offer is currently ongoing but Westpac may withdraw or change it at any time. It will be good to give Westpac a call and express your interest and see if they can accommodate your request.

      Meanwhile, you can check our fixed-rate home loan comparison page and check what other options you have.

      I hope this has helped.

      Cheers,
      Liezl

    I am looking at fixed rate premier advantage package at the moment, and planning to borrow $320,000. How much deposit do I need for my mortgage repayments to remain under $2000 per month? Thanks.
