Elders Home Loans has withdrawn its three-year fixed rate home loan and now only offers fixed rate loans for one and two years.
General manager Robert Redford says the company’s experience was that clients taking out three-year loans found the market moved against them.
"We didn’t get any goodwill out of it. We found as soon as those loans expired at the end of the three years, they were all being refinanced with someone else. We were just losing all those loans," Redford says.
