What is an owner-occupied home loan?

An owner-occupied home loan (or live-in home loan), is a home loan to purchase a property to live-in. This is different to an investment home loan which is for a property that will be used as an investment, not to live in.

Should your circumstances change, you can easily change your investment loan into an owner-occupied loan. Our team is available to help over LiveChat or on 1300 842 405.

Legal things about our rates
Our home loans are subject to credit criteria and eligibility requirements. Home loan interest rates are for new customers only and can change. Our comparison rates are based on a $150,000 loan amount over a 25 year term. They factor in fees associated with applying for the loan; ongoing fees and fees associated with leaving the loan. Our fixed loans roll to a variable principal and interest rate at the end of the fixed term. If the interest only period is not specified, the comparison rate is calculated on a one year period.

WARNING: The comparison rates are true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
