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 value, paid on settlement day. It's mainly for new 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 of the cashback. Always compare total loan costs before accepting an offer.
