What will my homeowner’s loan repayments be?
Work out your regular repayments and how quickly you could pay off your personal loan.
So many repayment options
- After the first year of interest-only repayments*, our mortgage brokers can arrange for the remainder of the loan to be absorbed into the mortgage (subject to bank criteria). Otherwise, you can pay it off over 2-7 years.
- You also have the option to pay it all off in full, whenever you like without any early repayment fees. That's right - you call the shots.
Our interest rates
| Term | Rate |
|---|---|
| 1 year interest-only | 9.75% p.a. |
| 2 - 3 years | 9.85%. p.a. |
| 5 - 7 years | 9.95% p.a. |
Get down to the nitty gritty
*If you or a guarantor default on your obligation, you may be obliged to pay costs and expenses for enforcement. Rates shown are based on current rates. Rates are subject to change. Affordability, responsible lending and credit criteria apply. Subject to available funding.If your loan falls into arrears, a default interest rate of 5% p.a. will be added to your fixed interest rate and remain in place until your loan is back on track and out of arrears. Example: A borrowed amount of $10,000 over 1-year interest-only would result in repayments of $83 per month at 9.75% p.a. (not risk graded). If a payment is missed or a loan is in arrears for a period of time, default interest may apply. Check out our fees page.

We loved working with Adam. He was down to earth and really proactive in assisting us with our first home. We couldn't thank Adam enough for making the process easy and being with us every step of the way. I would highly recommend using squirrel and work with Adam and the team. A++ from me.
