NAB Tailored Home Loan

The key features under this relatively basic offering for owner occupier loans are focused on pricing. Specifically, pricing advertised includes a $8 monthly fee, and a relatively high variable rate starting from 6.79% p.a. (6.87% p.a. comparison rate) on Principal and Interest repayments. An alternatively option offered is a fixed rate loan, where for example there is a 3 year fixed interest rate from 5.89% p.a. (6.62% p.a. comparison rate), in addition to other investor fixed-rate terms, shown on this page. Upon expiry of the fixed rate term, the interest rate applied to the loan will revert to a variable rate, currently starting from 6.79% p.a. (6.87% p.a. comparison rate), however borrowers usually renegotiate prior to this. Please keep in mind that despite this being a relatively basic no-frills product offering by NAB, these rates should be able to be negotiated down, particularly for people borrowing a sizeable amount, or for those who hold a sizeable deposit or equity in a property already. This loan does require a minimum of either 5% deposit or 5% existing equity, and often anything above these amounts will help you negotiate a lower interest rate. There is the option to split the loan into Variable and Fixed rate components, plus being able to make extra repayments and in the future, redraw funds if desired. In terms of repayments Interest Only repayments or Principal and Interest repayments are available.

Upon the expiry of the fixed rate period, the loan will revert to a variable rate priced loan, currently priced from 7.09% p.a. (7.17% p.a. comparison rate), however commonly investors renegotiate a new loan prior to this expiry date. Negotiation of these rates down should be possible, depending on your circumstances. Also, while you should speak with your accountant, many investors opt for an interest only loan, of which the rates are also outlined on this page.
