Common Questions
Why OakView Lending?
OakView Lending have branched off from our expert financial planning firm OakView Financial. Our experience within the financial advice sector provides us with a holistic understanding of unique needs each client has. OakView Lending is here to save you time on your next loan.
How much should I save for a deposit?
It depends – if you’re a first home buyer, you may qualify for certain government grants or schemes. This may allow you to borrow with as little as 5% of the loan. This is circumstantial and may not always be the case.
In general, you want around 20%, which allows you to avoid lenders’ mortgage insurance. The more you can put down initially, the more affordable your loan will be due to decreased interest costs. However, depending on your financial situation, goals, and the structure of the loan, it may not be the best idea to put all of your liquidity straight into the loan.
Can I pay my loan back quicker than the agreed term?
Depending on whether you have fixed the interest rate or left it variable. If the whole loan is fixed, you won’t be able to pay anything above the agreed amount. However, if your loan or a portion of the loan is variable, you can pay back as much as you like on the variable portion. For this reason, we often suggest locking a portion of the rate in fixed and a portion in a variable rate if you think you might be able to pay back more than required.
Whats the difference between a 'principle and interest' loan and an 'interest only' loan?
'Principle and interest' loans are calculated over a fixed term such as 20 years or 30 years. The calculated amount pays off the interest of the loan while paying down the loan itself. Effectively the loan repayments decrease when the principal is paid down, all things being equal.
'Interest only' loans have slightly different lending criteria. You are only paying the interest without paying any of the principle of the loan. It depends on your situation and goals as to which type of loan will suit you.
