Your home loan questions answered
If you’re looking to buy your very first home, with P&N Bank you can borrow up to a loan to value ratio (LVR) of 95%.
As a general guide you'll need a minimum 5% deposit plus your settlement fees and Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) fees. LMI fees will apply if you don’t have a 20% deposit plus settlement fees.
You may qualify to take out (LMI) for deposits less than 20% of the property value. Alternatively, the Governments First Home Loan Deposit Scheme is available to help new borrowers get into your first homes with deposits from 5% of the property value for qualifying applicants.
LVR stands for Loan to Value Ratio. This is calculated as the amount you want to borrow as a percentage of the value of the property you buy, or that will be used as security.
For example, if you borrow $540,000 to buy a property valued at $600,000, your LVR would be 90%.
Depending on your application, we can provide loan approval in as little as 24-48 hours, and are doing so for many of our customers. For more complex applications, unconditional finance approval or where a valuation of your property is required, it can take between five and seven days to process all the documentation.

*Comparison rate calculated on a loan amount of $150,000 over a term of 25 years based on monthly repayments. For variable Interest Only loans, comparison rates are based on an initial 3 year Interest Only period. For fixed Interest Only loans, comparison rates are based on an initial Interest Only period equal in length to the fixed period. During an Interest Only period, your Interest Only payments will not reduce your loan balance. This may mean you pay more interest over the life of the loan.
WARNING: This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan.
