How to avoid falling off the fixed rate cliff when the fixed-rate period of your home loan is ending

If the fixed-rate period of your home loan is coming to an end, it can be daunting having to re-evaluate your home loan options and try to find the best deal for your circumstances.

This is especially true if you’re one of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who decided to fix their home loan interest rate at record low rates.

Two years ago, fixed rates dropped below 2 percent. Since then the Reserve Bank of Australia has hiked the cash rate an incredible 13 times, seeing borrowers roll off fixed interest rates below 2 percent to variable rates in the mid 6 percent.

So what are your options when you find yourself potentially having to pay thousands of dollars more each month to service your home loans?

What are your options when you come to the end of the fixed-rate period of your home loan?

Although the financial certainty of paying the same fixed interest rates on your home loan every month is ending, this doesn’t mean you have to automatically revert to your existing lender’s standard variable rate.

You may decide to negotiate a new fixed-rate term with your existing lender, however bear in mind you’re taking the risk of locking yourself into current interest rates for a set period of time just as many forecasters are predicting that the Reserve Bank may decide to drop interest rates. 

The end of the fixed-rate period of your home loan also provides you with a great opportunity to refinance if you have enough equity in your property.
