Rates by deposit sizeLVR — Loan-to-Value Ratio
The percentage of the property value you're borrowing. A lower LVR means a bigger deposit and usually a better interest rate.
Example: Property NZ$800k, deposit NZ$160k → LVR = 80% (borrow 80%, own 20%).
| Deposit ≥ 5% | 6.94% |
| Deposit ≥ 10% | 6.69% |
| Deposit ≥ 15% | 5.94% |
| Deposit ≥ 20% | 5.44% |
Higher deposit = lower LVR = better rate
About Fixed 1 Year
Westpac's standard 1-year fixed rate is their standard-tier offering for borrowers who don't qualify for the special rate. While priced above the special tier, it still includes Westpac's cashback incentive and full access to their banking ecosystem.
This rate suits borrowers with smaller loans, lower equity, or other factors that exclude them from special pricing. The 1-year term keeps you close to your next refix, when you may qualify for the special rate as your equity grows.
