Fixed Interest Rate LoansFixed
interest rate loans are for those people who think that interest rates will rise over a
specified term and that see an advantage in fixing. Usually offered over a choice of
1,2,3,4 or 5 year terms and the rate is locked in for the duration of the agreed term.
There are usually restrictions on how much extra a client can repay from the principle of
the loan during the agreed term. If a client exceeds the specified extra repayment amount
then they are liable for 'break costs' which is an 'economic cost' formula based on the
amount fixed, the remainder of the agreed term and the current variable rate. 'Break
costs' can work out to be very expensive, especially in a falling interest rate market so
borrowers need to be confident that they will not need to break the loan within the fixed
period before entering into it. Call or email for lender's comparison rate schedules or specialised Mortgage Software generated comparisons that details relevant features of competing loan products side by side and also gives an AAPR (average annual percentage rate) which is an indication of the 'true' cost of the loan over a seven year term.
