Different lenders charge different upfront and ongoing monthly fees, which should be factored in when saving your deposit. Some of these can be added to your loan balance, while others will need to be paid upfront – fees include establishments or application fees, and risk or mortgage insurance fees. Other smaller fees will be added to your balance each month.

You’ll also need to pay solicitor fees along with local and state government taxes and levies. These can’t be added to your loan balance and are usually paid upon settlement.

The interest rates tend to vary for each individual, depending on a range of factors: 

• The amount you need to borrow against the property value; known as the Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) 
• The size of your deposit  
• Your income 
• Credit history 
• Any assets you own 
• Any liabilities or credit obligations
• Chosen repayment type – paying off interest-only, or principal and interest 
• The purpose of the loan – if it’s for an owner-occupier or investment property
