Standard Variable Home Loans
What is a standard variable home loan?
A home loan with a standard variable interest rate is where the home loan interest rate can change depending on market conditions.
The home loan interest rate is determined by the home loan lenders but is a direct reflection of the RBA’s (Reserve Bank of Australia) cash rate so the home loan interest rate can either move up or down.
Standard variable home loans do offer a great deal of flexibility from an additional home loan repayment point of view and also the features of the home loan such a line of credit, home loan offset accounts, home loan redraw facilities and so on.
As there are a variety of standard variable home loans in the market we have listed below some of the most common standard variable home loans we have available.
Please browse through the list of home loans or contact us and have a chat to one of our home loan consultants who will be able to assist.

Full Doc Standard Variable Home Loans
Standard variable home loans which are classified as full doc simply mean that you are able to provide the home loan lender with a full set of income documents such as PAYG summaries, pay slips and a letter from your employer.
Full doc standard variable home loans provide you with the most competitive home loan interest rates and also the widest choice of home loans and features.
This is the most commonly chosen type of home loan given that the majority of people are on PAYG employment in Australia.
Full doc home loans are also available for the self employed and it is simply a matter of providing the home loan lender with evidence of income by way of ATO notices so full doc home loans are not just limited to people on PAYG employment.

Basic Variable Home Loans
Basic variable home loans are very similar to standard variable home loans although the key differences are in what features and benefits a basic variable home loan offers.
A basic variable home loan can be referred to as a ‘no frills’ home loan which may suit people who are simply after a low interest rate home loan and don’t need the add-ons such as a line of credit or home loan redraw.
Many people already have an established relationship with a bank so the benefits of the additional features of a standard variable home loan are just not required.
This is where a basic variable home loan can fit into the picture by providing a more competitive home loan interest rate, bear in mind that there are still some basic variable home loans which do offer features such as internet banking, Bpay and home loan redraw facilities.
To find out more about the basic variable home loans we have on offer just contact us and a home loan consultant will assist.

Lo Doc Standard Variable Home Loans
Standard variable home loans that are classified as lo doc home loans are predominantly used by self employed applicants who are unable to substantiate their income by way of tax returns or pay slips.
Even though lo doc home loans do not require evidence of income there is a lo doc declaration of income which you sign off, this is a statement of your income and the lo doc home loan provider uses this income figure to determine your ability to repay the proposed home loan.
Some of the key differences between lo doc home loans and full doc home loans are highlighted for you below:
| • | The amount of the home loan may be lower than that of a full doc home loan i.e. 400k maximum home loan versus 500k maximum home loan for full doc |
| • | A lower home loan to valuation ratio applies as there is greater risk for the home loan provider given they are relying on a declaration of income instead of the traditional income evidence on a full doc home loan i.e. up to 95% LVR |
| • | In some cases a higher home loan interest rate applies based on the home loan provider and or the home loan to valuation ratio |
Many of our clients who are self employed utilise a lo doc home loan to achieve their goals and then restructure their home loan once they are able to provide a full set of financials.
In effect a lo doc home can be seen as a stepping stone with a view to restructuring the home loan once you are able to.

No Deposit Standard Variable Home Loans
Standard variable home loans are also offered in the form of no deposit home loans, the same basic principles apply as per standard variable full doc home loans although this type of home loan extends to cover the entire purchase price of the property.
There are some no deposit home loans which even offer a redraw facility and you are also able to make additional home loan repayments so there is still that level of flexibility even though the home loan provider is lending 100% of the purchase price.
In addition to this no deposit home loans also offer competitive home loan interest rates, the reason for this is that competition in the no deposit home loan space is fierce and this can only benefit you by providing a wide choice of no deposit home loans with varying home loan features and benefits.
No deposit home loans are also available for those people who wish to invest in property and this is becoming a more popular options amongst investors as they can minimise their out of pocket expenses.
