Split loans rising in popularity

By Reporter
0

More borrowers than ever before are choosing to split their home loan between fixed and variable rates, mortgage broker Loan Market has said.

The number of customers enquiring about split loans has risen by 70 per cent, to make up 27 per cent of Loan Market’s enquiries over the past month.

Loan Market corporate spokesperson Paul Smith said a loan split between fixed and variable portions enabled borrowers to enjoy the benefits of the different product types while minimising the drawbacks.

Mr Smith said that split loans were particularly popular with young buyers getting into the property market. Often these buyers are feeling apprehensive about how to manage their new debt, whilst feeling comfortable in their ability to pay.  

“The fixed potion of these loans gives borrowers certainty around their repayments and the variable portion allows flexibility to pay off their home loan quicker whenever their comfortable doing so”, he said.

“With fixed rates at near historic lows and likely not to drop too much further, many customers who would have traditionally gone with variable rates are opting for the fixed route to avoid the fear of missing out when rates eventually go back up."

Many investors who would have been successfully approved for finance last year are struggling now to either begin or continue their property investment journey because of the current financial climate.


In this episode of the Smart Property Investment Show, broker John Manciamelli and Momentum Media director Alex Whitlock joins host Tim Neary to discuss how APRA changes and the royal commission have resulted in a tighter lending economy and what that means for Australian investors.


They discuss what traps investors should avoid if they are trying to obtain finance, the four key growth drivers in a property market and unpacking trust structures while revealing one type of trust that you should miss.

When buying property, it’s important to focus on what’s important. Investor Katarina Taurian shares just what exactly is important to her: having the mindset of looking past superficial cosmetic matters and homing in on the structural suitability and potential of a property.

In this episode of the Smart Property Investment Show, Katarina joins host Tim Neary to unpack her entry into the property market and experiences of rentvesting, and how the Smart Property Investment Show was vital  in a number of decisions which she made along the way.


Katarina discusses about the team that she had help her along the way, why she thinks that you should never skimp on a good solicitor and accountant, and the red flags which tell her why buying a new property doesn’t necessarily mean buying a better property.
