HSBC Fixed Rate Home Loan

With an HSBC Premier Fixed Rate Home Loan, the interest rate is fixed for a term that you choose: six months, one year, two years, three years, four years or five years.

This gives you the security and peace of mind of knowing exactly what you will have to repay over the period of time you have chosen.

At the end of the agreed fixed term, the loan generally reverts to our Floating Rate Home Loan. Alternatively, you can also choose to:

Renegotiate a further fixed term, at the interest rates applicable at the time
Pay off the loan, in part or full
Choose an alternative loan from HSBC that meets your needs

How a Fixed Rate Home Loan works

A Fixed Rate Home Loan is where the interest rate is fixed for a term of six months, one, two, three, four or five years. As a result you have the security and peace of mind of knowing exactly what you will have to repay over the period of time you have nominated.

At the end of the agreed fixed term the loan generally reverts to our Floating Rate Home Loan.

However you can also choose to:

Re-fix your loan for a further fixed term, at the interest rates applicable at the time
Pay off the loan in part or full
Choose an alternative loan from HSBC that suits you at that time

Prepayment loss recovery fee and an administration fee may be payable.

You may be on top of everything; however, here is a quick list of tips to bear in mind when buying your home:

Get a valuation if you are concerned about the value of a property you are interested in
Get a builder's report if you have queries about the structure of the property
Ask a friend with more experience in property buying if you've seen a property that you absolutely love but something is niggling away at you
Use logic and find a consistent way to compare the features of the properties you've visited in your search, e.g., location, light, heating, quality of bathroom and kitchen fittings, even your 'gut feeling' as you first walk into the property
Take your time though you may feel under pressure to put in an offer, perhaps because an agent has mentioned there are other interested parties. Remember that it is a large, legally binding commitment and that you need to feel confident. Do things in your own time, and if you have doubts, don't ignore them

Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your home loan.
