Calculations are estimates provided as a guide only. They are calculated based on our current advertised variable rate, and assume this rate continues for the life of the loan. Interest rates may change at any time. Your actual repayments and savings will change if our variable reference rates change.
Should you take out a home loan with Unloan, discounts applied during the life of the loan will be applied to the relevant reference rate at that time.
Fees and charges are payable. The calculations do not take into account fees, charges or other amounts that may be charged to your loan (such as stamp duty or government fees). Any of these additional amounts may impact how much you can borrow and will increase repayments under the loan.
Calculations are not a loan approval. Applications are subject to credit approval, satisfactory security and minimum deposit requirements. Full terms and conditions will be set out in our loan offer, if an offer is made.
