What is an Introductory Loan?
These loans offer discounted interest rates off the standard variable rate, lasting a certain period of time, usually one year. After this period, they normally revert back to standard variable rates. Sometimes, depending on the lender, interest rates can be fixed or capped during the initial/honeymoon period. These rates are among the lowest rates available and are often used by first home buyers or interest rate shoppers. These loans are typically "no frills" products although there are more features being added by some lenders as the market becomes more competitive. They are typically around 0.5% - 0.7% less than the standard variable rate.
Below is an example of the Introductory Loan. Most lenders have a variety of discount loan features which may not be displayed in this example and it would not be practical for us to display every Discount Variable Loan Products on the market.

Hedge your options. By splitting a home loan you can have the best of both worlds. Fix a portion of your loan so that when interest rates go up, you have the advantage that you may have fixed at a lower interest rate. If the interest rates go down, then the portion of your loan that is variable will then also reduce accordingly. Never worry about interest rates again.
