Home loan cash back: a guide for home buyers & refinancers
Beware the free money
AI summary
Home loan cashback is a cash incentive from banks, typically 0.6% to 1% of your loan, paid on settlement day. It's mainly offered to new home buyers or those refinancing from another lender.
While the cash is yours to use, be aware of the clawback period—usually 3-4 years. If you sell, repay the loan, or refinance during this time, you must repay a portion. Always compare the total loan cost over this period to find the best deal.
