Combination or Split Home Loans
Combination or Split home loans offer security from potential rate rises by allowing borrowers to take part of their loan as a variable rate and the other as a fixed rate. While each part of the loan is treated separate when the loan contract is drawn up, the overall loan amount is still considered your “total”.
As each individual situation is different, talk to your local mortgage broker to find out if a combination or split home loan is right for you.
