What will my homeowner’s loan repayments be?
Work out your regular repayments and how quickly you could pay off your personal loan.
So many repayment options
- After the first year of interest-only repayments*, our mortgage brokers can arrange for the remainder of the loan to be absorbed into the mortgage (subject to bank criteria). Otherwise, you can pay it off over 2-7 years.
- You also have the option to pay it all off in full, whenever you like without any early repayment fees. That's right - you call the shots.
Our interest rates
| Term | Rate |
|---|---|
| 1 year interest-only | 9.75% p.a. |
| 2 - 3 years | 9.85%. p.a. |
| 5 - 7 years | 9.95% p.a. |
Get down to the nitty gritty
*If you or a guarantor default on your obligation, you may be obliged to pay costs and expenses for enforcement. Rates shown are based on current rates. Rates are subject to change. Affordability, responsible lending and credit criteria apply. Subject to available funding.If your loan falls into arrears, a default interest rate of 5% p.a. will be added to your fixed interest rate and remain in place until your loan is back on track and out of arrears. Example: A borrowed amount of $10,000 over 1-year interest-only would result in repayments of $83 per month at 9.75% p.a. (not risk graded). If a payment is missed or a loan is in arrears for a period of time, default interest may apply. Check out our fees page.

We've worked with Ange and the team at Squirrel more than once now, and every time they've been absolutely fantastic. This time was no different, they looked after us from start to finish with the same professionalism, attention to detail, and just the right amount of hustle behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly. What I appreciate most is how they take the stress out of the process. I just tell them what we're trying to do, and they take care of the rest: crunching the numbers, dealing with the bank, and coming back with a clear plan. It means we can focus on the bigger picture without getting bogged down in the details. Even with a few curveballs from the bank this time, Ange and her team kept everything on track and moving forward. We managed to get both the sale and the purchase done without any delays or issues, which is exactly what you want in these situations. When we think about getting a loan, we think about Ange and the team, and no one else. I genuinely don't want to deal with any other company. They've earned that level of trust.

Sudam was great to deal with. I had already met with another broker and hadn't been happy with the interaction. Sudam's approach was completely different - he was really nice to talk to, very clear about the options and process, and made the whole thing easy for us. Sudam communicated well throughout and we're very happy with the outcome of switching our mortgage.
