Split for the best of both worlds
If your client wants the certainty of a fixed loan and the flexibility of a variable, splitting their loan may be the best solution. They'll know the rate and repayments for the set term on the fixed rate portion while having the ability to make and redraw extra repayments, plus pay less interest with an offset account.

Fixed rate home loan: Bank of Melbourne will apply the fixed rate that is available at the loan settlement date or the date the fixed rate period commences. At the end of the fixed rate period the interest rate will convert to the applicable variable home loan interest rate.
#Advantage Package: Terms & Conditions (PDF 293KB) apply. A $395 annual package fee applies and is payable from an eligible Bank of Melbourne transaction account. Before deciding to acquire a Bank of Melbourne transaction account, read the terms & conditions, and consider if the product is right for you.
Comparison Rate: The comparison rate is based on a loan of $150,000 over a term of 25 years. WARNING: This comparison rate is true only for the example given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
+LVR stands for the initial loan to value ratio at loan approval. LVR is the amount of your loan compared to the banks valuation of your property offered to secure your loan expressed as a percentage. Home loan rates for new loans are set based on the initial LVR and don’t change because of changes to the LVR during the life of the loan. Any applicable LVR discount has been included in the advertised eligible rate.
1Portability, Extra repayments, Top-ups: Subject to Bank's approval.
2Break costs may apply: If at any time before the end of a fixed rate period you switch to another product, interest rate (fixed or variable) or repayment type, then a break cost may apply.
3Repayment options: Conditions, eligibility and suitability criteria apply.
- Reduced Repayments: Reduction of up to 50% available for 3 to 12 months on variable home loans held with us for over 12 months. It is important to understand that at the end of the reduced repayment period, the repayment amount will increase to adjust for the reduced repayments. This ensures that the loan is still repaid within its original term.
- Repayment Holiday: If you’ve made extra home loan repayments in the past and you’d like to take a break, you could consider choosing to miss a payment or make a reduced payment, provided the available funds are enough to cover the scheduled payment.
- Switching to Interest Only repayments: It’s important to understand that interest rates for loans with Interest Only repayments are higher. Your repayments will increase at the end of the Interest Only period as the amount you’ve borrowed will need to be paid back in a shorter timeframe. This also means you’ll pay more interest over the life of the loan on Interest Only repayments than if you’d opted to continue paying principal and interest.
4Relocation loan: Available for owner occupiers buying a new home, building a new home using a building contractor, or buying vacant land to build. Not available for purposes including owner builders, investment, purchasing vacant land with no intention to complete a build within 12 months, or extended settlement loan.
