Larry SchlesingerApril 21, 2013

The lowest advertised mortgage offering -fixed or variable - is a one-year fixed rate package home loan of 4.79% offered by non-bank lender Quick Direct, according to mortgage comparison websites.

The rate is 30 basis points below the lowest big four one-year fixed rate offering – NAB one-year fixed rate of 5.09% available under its package home loan offerings.

All Quick Direct package home loans require a 10% deposit.

Borrowers looking to refinance with a major bank brand can secure a one-year fixed rate home loan with UBank – NAB’s online brand – of 4.83%.

Quick Direct is a subsidiary of Sydney-based BMC Mortgage Corporation.

These are the lowest advertised variable and fixed mortgage rates based on listings on mortgage comparison websites ratecity.com.auMozo.com.au,  infochoice.com.au and homeloanfinder.com.au as of April 22:
