The lowest rate isn’t always the cheapest loan

Cash contributions usually come with a clawback if you leave within a few years, so compare over the time you’ll actually stay. Fees, package costs and how easily you can pay extra all change the real cost.

Common questions

Is the lowest rate always the cheapest loan?

No. Fees, cash contributions and how long you keep the loan can outweigh a small rate difference.

How do cash contributions work?

Banks may pay a lump sum when your loan settles. If you leave within the clawback period, often three to four years, you repay some or all of it.

Can an adviser get a better offer?

Often. Advisers can ask several lenders at once, which tends to sharpen rates and contributions.
