MORTGAGE TYPES

Floating Mortgage

Maximum Flexibility for Your Home Loan

A Floating (variable rate) mortgage offers maximum flexibility and is ideal if you want the freedom to pay off your loan faster. The interest rate can move up or down over time, generally in line with market conditions.

The key benefit however, is flexibility – you can make extra repayments, lump sum payments, or repay the loan in full at any time without penalty.

Floating loans are often used strategically as part of a wider loan structure, particularly where a lump sum is expected (such as a bonus, sale proceeds, or an inheritance).

Structuring a portion of the loan this way allows it to be repaid in full when those funds arrive, without any breakcosts.

They can also be useful for short-term needs, such as renovations or managing cashflow, before transititoning to a fixed rate once things are more settled.
