Leon
Meet Leon, a fantastic customer of ours who came to us when he wanted to purchase a new home after a period of renting.
Leon had previously owned property, but after a separation, he moved into rental accommodation. Once the separation was finalised, he was ready to get back into the property market and purchase a new home for himself.
With experience in buying and selling real estate, Leon knew what to expect and understood the importance of finding a competitive loan rate. He had previously used loans.com.au for another home loan, and based on that positive experience, he came back when it was time to finance his new home.

Frequently asked questions
To qualify, simply provide a copy of your solar installation invoice or your quote for your solar installation (with solar to be installed within 90 days of the settlement of your loan). The solar system must meet a minimum Kw size per our solar calculator.
Yes, as long as you have a quote to install the solar panels and proceed with the installation within 90 days of settlement. The solar system must meet a minimum Kw size per our solar calculator. We will require evidence of your new solar system size once installed to ensure you remain eligible for the solar home loan discount.
The size of system you need depends largely on your daily power needs, property type, roof space, bedroom number and whether you have a pool. The more you have, the larger the solar system you need to generate sufficient power. Find a quality solar retailer and installer to help you consider all the available technology.
Start by understanding how much power you need, and when. Do you just need panels for day time supply, or will you also need a battery for power at night too? When choosing your solar system, it pays to do research. It also helps to get multiple quotes for comparison and to read product reviews before making your decision.
The solar home loan comes with a variable interest rate, which includes a variable discount applied for the first 5 years from the settlement date. You can switch to a fixed rate at any time during the discount period or after it ends. However, if you choose to switch to a fixed rate during the 5-year discount period, the discount and remaining discount term will no longer apply. If you're considering a switch or want to understand what’s best for your situation, please give us a call.
Many factors affect how much your household will save on power bills, including your regular energy consumption and the size of your solar system, your feed-in tariff, usage patterns and how much sunshine you get based on where you live. The cost of your solar system will also affect the period it will take for your system to pay for itself.
An offset sub-account is linked to your home loan and helps reduce the interest you pay. Instead of earning interest like a regular savings account, the balance in your offset reduces the portion of your loan that accrues interest. This can help you pay off your loan faster and save on interest costs.
Key things to know:
- It's a sub-account of your loan, not a separate deposit account.
- Funds in the offset sub-account are not covered by the government deposit guarantee.
- The offset cannot exceed your home loan balance.
