Choosing a loan can be a complicated business.
While many lenders proudly advertise low interest rates, there are usually a lot more factors that need to be taken into account before you can be sure you have found a loan that best fits your needs.
What will the effect be when the advertised rate reverts to the standard rate? Are there any entry or exit fees? What are the up-front charges and ongoing fees?
From July 1 2003, new legislation has been introduced to make it easier to choose between loans.
Now, whenever a Home or Personal Loan Rate is given, it must be accompanied by a Comparison Rate which takes into account the costs associated with setting up a home loan e.g. nominal interest rates, loan establishment and other fees.
Of course it is always important to check for other features when comparing loans such as redraw facilities and repayment options.
How does the Comparison Rate Work?
The Comparison Rate shows the real cost of a loan.
It takes into account the costs of a loan such as interest rate, loan establishment fees and other ascertainable up-front or ongoing fees.
It excludes government fees and charges as they are common to all loans.
By using the Comparison Rates, borrowers can be sure they are looking at the different loan options on a level playing field and can make the decision that best suits their needs.
