Concerned about rising interest rates?

Many clients have asked us if they should consider a Fixed Rate on their loans following on from the recent interest rate rise by the Reserve Bank.

A fixed rate loan is a good option for property owners that prefer the certainty of knowing exactly what the monthly repayments are going to be over a specified term.

The disadvantages of a fixed rate are that the variable rates may fall before your fixed rate term finishes, causing you to pay a higher rate than you might have otherwise enjoyed.
Fixed rate loans may revert to a standard variable rate rather than a cheaper negotiated package rate.

You also may be limited in the amount of additional payments you can make, and you may need to pay “Break Costs” as a penalty if you repay or change loans before the end of your fixed rate term.

The question of Fixed verses Variable is an individual one that requires the weighing up of your needs, wants, future expectations and assessing what options are available for your particular circumstances.

If you are unsure if you should fix your interest rate, then why not contact Jim Materne or Maryann Ianni on 08 8273 9300 or at perks_finance@perks.com.au.
