Our Services

At Ubika Finance we provide various loan options for our clients, customised to meet their current situation and future financial goals. We have access to over 25 lending institutions enabling us to provide varied options for our clients.We can provide loan options with Fixed, Variable, Split, Interest only, Construction, Portable Bridging and Low Doc to meet our clients’ desirable loan strategy.

Fixed Rate Home Loans - here the interest rate is fixed or locked in for a specific period, usually between one to five years. This means the repayments on your home will remain unchanged during the fixed term regardless of what happens to market interest rates. However, fixed loans may come with fewer features than a variable rate home loan. If market rates fall, you also face the possibility of paying more on your home loan repayments than otherwise. Split Loan allows you to have a portion of your home loan with a fixed interest rate and the remaining portion with a variable interest rate. You have the option of selecting the percentage you would like fixed and the percentage you would like variable, as long as the minimum fixed amount is covered, as per the individual loan requirements. Line of Credit is a great way to access the equity in your home and use it for things like home renovations, investments or other personal purchases. It has a competitive interest rate and you only have one account to manage. You can access it at any time of the day, over the phone, online or at one of our many ATM's.

 Low Doc Loans are a simpler mortgage finance solution for self-employed people who have income and assets, but are unable to provide the required financial statements or tax returns at the time of application. Low doc loans are usually approved on the basis of the applicant self-declaring their income derived from their business (known as a low doc declaration or self-certification of income).

Interest-only Loan - you repay only the interest on the principal during the term of the loan. At the end of that time – usually one to five years – you must repay the principal as a lump sum. As you would expect, repayments are lower than with a standard principal and interest loan. These loans are popular among investors who plan to sell the property in the short-term for profit. They are not recommended for ordinary home-buyers or investors who plan to hang on to their investment property for long-term income and growth.
Construction Loan uses the funds to build a new dwelling or property and generally involves draw down payments where you receive the funds in installments after a body of construction work is complete (i.e.; foundations have been laid). Portable Home Loan allows you to transfer from one property to another, without refinancing. It can be of benefit by saving on loan set-up fees and government loan security duty.

 Bridging Loan is a type of short-term loan typically used when in the process of selling one property and purchasing the next or when waiting for the arrangement of longer term finance.
