What is an interest-only loan?
An interest-only home loan allows you to only pay the interest on the amount borrowed (known as the principal) for an agreed interest-only period of 1-5 years. At the end of the interest-only period, loan repayments will increase to pay off the interest and principal of the loan.
How does an interest-only loan work?
Interest-only loans are only applied during the first period of your home loan, which can be up to five years. During this period, the loan repayments only consist of the interest on the loan balance (the principal). Therefore, repayments will be lower because you will not be paying off the principal.
After the interest-only period, the loan will revert to a principal and interest (P&I) loan. The loan repayments will include paying the interest and principal, rather than just the interest, resulting in higher repayments.
