Non-bank lender State Custodians is currently offering one of the lowest variable rates on the market, according to a search across mortgage comparison websites by Property Observer.

State Custodians offers a variable rate of 4.74%.

Its Peak Performance Offset home loan allows for a maximum of 80% loan to valuation ratio, and can be used as either an owner occupier or investment loan.

Variable rates may fall further if the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announces a further rate cut today.

The Greater Building Society offers the lowest one-year fixed-rate home loan at 3.99%. Property Observer reported last week that it is currently the only home loan with a rate below 4%.

HomeloanHQ currently offers the lowest thee-year fixed-rate loan at 4.69%. The Rate Lock Home Loan can be used for both purchases and refinance, and allows for a 75% loan to valuation ratio.

These are the lowest advertised variable and fixed mortgage rates based on listings on mortgage comparison websites ratecity.com.auMozo.com.au,  infochoice.com.au and finder.com.au as of August 2:

Where the headline rate is the same, the lender with the lowest comparison rate gets preference.
