Split Loans - Fixed & Variable Interest Rate

This loan is a way of hedging your bets. If you are unsure as to whether interest rates are going up or down, you can choose a Split Rate Loan.

With this type of loan, you nominate how much of the loan you would like to fix and how much you would like to put on a variable rate.

The Split Loan is a cautious way of borrowing for your home.

Advantages:

- Having part of your loan at a fixed interest rate protects you against interest rate rises.
- Leaving part of your loan on variable interest rate leaves you less vulnerable if rates reduce.
- Additional payments are allowed on the variable portion of the loan.

Disadvantages:

- You may not benefit greatly from any interest rate fluctuations.
- You may be charged set-up fees, account fees and discharge fees on both the fixed portion and the variable portion.
- You may be penalised for making higher repayments on the fixed portion.
- You may be penalised if you pay off your loan before the due date on the fixed portion.
