Fixed or variable?
As a general guide, fixed rate loans suit people who want to know exactly how much they'll pay each month. Discount Variable loans are great for those who want the lowest variable rate. Our Fixed Rate and Standard Variable loans all have the option to be packaged with a credit card in our Home Advantage Package.
Loan Term
The Loan Term sets the maximum time you have to pay the loan back. All of our Home Loans have terms of up to 30 years, excluding our Bridging Loan. Our Bridging Loan has a maximum term of 6 months.

Rate Guarantee
A Rate Guarantee is available on Fixed Rate Home Loans at Heritage Finance Holdings for a fee of 0.15% of your basic loan amount and is current for 90 days from application.
A Rate Guarantee is optional extra on fixed loans and allows you to lock in the fixed rate you're applying for on your home loan. This means you won't pay more than the advertised rate if rates go up before the loan settles, but also allows you to benefit from a cheaper price if interest rates drop in between the time you apply and your settlement date.
Apply by 30 September 2022 and pay no application fee.
