Our home loan property usage options

Owner-occupied

With an owner-occupied home loan, you're buying a property to live in. It’s simply the difference between whether you’re living in the property or not. If it’s your current residence, it’s considered owner-occupied. These loans typically have lower interest rates than investment loans.

Investment

With an investment home loan, you're buying a property to generate income, either through rent or capital gains, while living elsewhere. How the property is used determines the type of loan you need. Investment loans usually come with higher interest rates than owner-occupied loans.

Interest rate type

Variable rate

With a variable rate loan, your repayments can change during the life of your loan as interest rates can change for various reasons. Sometimes you’ll pay more, and sometimes less depending on the direction of an interest rate change. Always do your research about whether a variable or fixed rate loan works best for you.

Fixed rate

With a fixed rate home loan, you will know exactly what your repayments will be for a fixed period of time. We offer fixed rates for periods of 1 to 5 years. Your fixed rate will change to a variable rate at the end of the fixed term, unless you advise the bank you want to ‘re-fix’ your loan before the fixed term ends.

Repayment type

Principal & Interest

With a principal and interest loan, you make repayments that reduce both the amount borrowed (the principal) and the interest charged. This is the most common type of home loan, and it means your loan balance decreases over time. We offer both fixed and variable rate principal and interest loans.

Interest-only

With an interest-only loan, you only pay the interest charged on the loan, but not the principal itself. If you only make interest only repayments, the loan balance won’t reduce over the interest only period. We offer both fixed and variable rate interest-only loans.

Are there any additional fees associated with an NRMA Home Loan?

For a complete list of the rates, fees, and other charges, read our rates and fees page.

What is Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR)?

Loan-to-value ratio represents the amount you’re borrowing against the bank’s value of the property used as security. A higher LVR represents a higher risk loan to a lender as there is less equity in the property the lender is using as security for the loan. 

The LVR is calculated by dividing the loan amount by the bank’s valuation of the security property, multiplied by 100. 

Here’s an example:
A couple want to purchase a property with a bank valuation of $800,000. They have a deposit saved of $80,000. They need to borrow $720,000.

  • Divide 720,000 by 800,000 to get 0.9
  • Multiply 0.9 by 100 to get a percentage
  • The LVR is 90%

Because the couple have an LVR greater than 80%, they may need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

With NRMA Home Loans the LMI premium is added to the loan amount. This means your loan repayments will be higher than they would have been if you didn’t have LMI.

What’s Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a fee which will be added to your loan if you're borrowing more than 80% Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) of a property’s value (which means if you have less than a 20% deposit). This means the loan amount you need to borrow and your loan repayments will be higher than if you had at least a 20% deposit and did not need to incur Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

It protects the lender (for NRMA Home Loans, this is Bendigo and Adelaide Bank) from financial loss if you can’t afford to meet your repayments and default on the loan.

You’ll also need to pay LMI if the building is high density (5 or more storeys), or if there are 50 or more other residential properties in the same complex.

Factors that affect how much LMI will cost include:

  • The size of the loan (the higher your loan, the higher the cost of LMI)
  • Your deposit amount (the lower the deposit, the higher the cost of LMI)
  • The purpose of the loan (investors can pay as much as 20% more for LMI than home buyers)
  • The insurer used by your lender (premiums differ between insurers).

LMI can cost thousands of dollars, so if you want to avoid paying it, the best way is by saving at least a 20% deposit before applying for a home loan.
