Not sure what equity, LVR, RV or table loans are? Check out what these mean as well as some other common terms you may come across during your home buying journey.
Understanding loan-to-value ratio
LVR stands for loan-to-value ratio (LVR), which looks at how much you're lending relative to the value of your house.
Get mortgage free faster
If you want to shake off your mortgage shackles early, then you need to take a close look at your payments, how your home loan is structured and if you can afford to pay even a little bit more.
Buying your next home
When you’re already on the property ladder, buying a new home means you also have to think about selling your current one. Do you sell your current home, or buy a new place first?
Borrowing to build
Whether you’ve got grand designs or you’re dreaming of a starter home, we can construct a home loan to suit your building or renovation project.
Buying an investment property
You could join the property investor ranks by tapping into the value of your family home if you’re already on the property ladder, or becoming a ‘rentvestor’ if you’re a first-time buyer.
