Introductory Rate Loans
Introductory or honeymoon rate home loans provide you with a discount off the standard variable interest rate at the beginning of the loan. The discount, of up to 1% per annum, will usually be for the first 6-12 month of your loan. Introductory loans can be either fixed or variable rate.

There will be fees and charges associated for early repayments or premature exit on the loan, so if your planning on taking out this loan you need to consider carefully whether the restrictions placed on the loans, are worth the very low interest rates.
