Frequently asked questions
To help you complete your home loan application, make sure you have the following information on hand:
- documents relating to your income, including payslips or income statements
- your existing home loan statements and contract if applicable
- details of any debts you currently hold, including balances, limits and monthly repayments

LVR is the amount you need to borrow, calculated as a percentage of the value of your property. For example, if your loan amount is $400K and your property value is $500K, then your LVR is 80%.
Fixed rate home loans have an interest rate that is fixed for a set period of time (typically from one to five years). At the end of the fixed rate term, the loan will usually switch to a variable rate.
Variable rate home loans have an interest rate that can move up or down according to market forces, which impacts the amount of interest you pay.
Macquarie home loans are flexible and allow you to access both a fixed rate and variable rate for your loan. As a borrower, this means you can:
- have the entirety your home loan at a variable rate
- have the entirety of your home loan at a fixed rate
- split your home loan into fixed and variable portions.
Splitting your loan between variable and fixed interest rates gives you flexibility to structure your loan to suit your circumstances. You can divide your home loan in a variety of ways, such as locking in a fixed interest rate portion and variable interest rate portion, to take advantage of a mix of rate types.
Please note: You can’t have the entirety of your offset home loan assigned to a fixed rate. You must have at least $20k of your offset home loan assigned to a variable interest rate.
No, it’s not possible to have an offset account with a fixed rate home loan account.
If you would like a 100% fixed home loan, you’ll need to apply for the basic home loan.
If you apply for an offset home loan, you can have fixed and variable split accounts. Offset account/s can only be linked to the variable loan account. Additional offset accounts can be opened for the fixed account once the fixed period has expired, and that loan account has reverted to a variable rate. Please note, company and trust borrowers can’t open additional offset accounts after the loan has settled. You must also have at least $20,000 in a variable interest rate account.
