Top tips for finding the cheapest Home Loan:
• Shop around for the best deal (that’s where Money Compare can help) – compare as many options as you can to find the best deal for you. There is no obligation to go with your current bank
• Make sure the mortgage suits your situation – there are mortgages tailored for first-time buyers, people buying their next home, building their own home, or switching an existing mortgage
• Get familiar with the jargon involved with a mortgage. Check out the "understanding key mortgage terms" under our NZ Mortgage Calculator.
• Only borrow what you need and be realistic about what you can afford to repay. Consider whether you would prefer the certainty of paying back a set amount per payment with a fixed interest loan, or if you’d prefer the flexibility of a floating interest rate loan so you can make changes to your repayments. Our NZ Mortgage Calculator can help you estimate what your monthly repayments and total repayment will be
• Check your credit rating. Lenders will use your credit rating to assess your merits as a borrower. Borrowers with better credit ratings may be offered lower interest rates, and you could use a good credit rating as a bargaining chip. Find out how to check your credit score
• It’s a good idea to choose a mortgage, get some mortgage advice and get your finances in place before you start viewing properties so you can act quickly when the right property comes along.
Floating of fixed rate? Choosing a fixed or floating interest rate loan will depend on your situation:
• Fixed interest rate loans: the interest rate you pay is fixed for a period of 6 months to 5 years. At the end of this term you can re-fix again or change to a different type of interest rate. This means you know exactly what your repayments will be over the fixed term, and allows you to lock in a lower interest rate if you believe market interest rates may rise.
• Floating interest rate loan: your interest rate will go up or down depending on wider market changes. This means your payments may go up or down. Floating loans offer more flexibility to make changes without penalty, for example paying the loan off early, or changing the term.
