What is an owner occupied home loan?

Tic:Toc's live-in loans are what banks and other lenders call “owner occupied” loans - but we like to think you live in your home, not just “occupy” it. So we refer to our loans as live-in home loans instead.

What does owner occupied mean? An owner occupied home loan (or live-in home loan as we prefer to think of them), is a home loan you can get to purchase a property you want to live in. This is different to an investment home loan which is a loan you get for a property you are using as an investment, and aren’t living in. With that being said, you can easily change your investment loan into a live-in loan if your circumstances change (more on that below).

Legal things about our rates, no tricks


About our Awards

Awards don’t motivate us as much as helping customers. But as the OG digital home loan, being awarded Canstar’s ‘Digital Lender of the Year’ makes us pretty proud. We’re excited to say that over the last five years, we’ve won 42 Canstar awards and you can find out all about them here.


No honeymoon rates

Existing borrowers may have a different interest rate, depending on the price we were able to negotiate with our funder at the time the loan settled, and any reductions made over time. We don’t do honeymoon rates, or make loyal customers subsidise lower prices for new customers. We’re transparent with our rate history, you can read about it here.

Our current rates

Our rates are current as of 14 September 2023; available to all home loans approved on or after this date, and they can change. Our comparison rates are calculated for a $150,000 loan over 25 years. They factor in our fees associated with applying for the loan; our ongoing fees and our fees associated with leaving the loan. Our fixed loans roll to a variable principal and interest rate at the end of the fixed term. You can find all of our roll-to rates here. If the interest only period is not specified, the comparison rate is calculated on a one year period.

WARNING: The comparison rates are true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
