That’s where REMC Finance steps in.

What is a Fixed Rate Home Loan?
A fixed rate home loan means your interest rate is locked in for a set period (commonly 1–5 years). During this time, your repayments stay the same.
This appeals to:
- First Home Buyers wanting repayment certainty
- Owner-occupiers budgeting for household expenses
- Property investors planning cashflow
- Anyone refinancing to stabilise monthly costs
A fixed loan may suit you if you value consistency and want protection from interest rate increases.
Fixed vs Variable: Which One Suits You?
Choosing between fixed and variable may be confusing without expert guidance. We provide an unbiased, personalised comparison backed by access to 40+ lenders.
Fixed Rate Advantages
- Predictable monthly repayments
- Protection from interest rate rises
- Easier household budgeting
- Suitable for long-term planners
Fixed Rate Considerations
- Limited extra repayments (varies by lender)
- Break fees may apply if you refinance early
- Less flexibility for redraws or rate drops
Why Many Central West Borrowers Are Fixing Their Rate
