Who is Newcastle Permanent Building Society?
Newcastle Permanent is a customer-owned lender founded in 1903, historically one of Australia's largest building societies. In March 2023 it merged with Greater Bank to form NGM Group (Newcastle Greater Mutual Group), one of the country's biggest customer-owned banking groups, with the Newcastle Permanent brand continuing under the group.
Its heartland is Newcastle, the Hunter and regional New South Wales, where most of its several hundred thousand customers live, backed by a real branch network. As a mutual, profits are returned to customers through pricing and service rather than paid out to shareholders.
Who suits a Newcastle Permanent Building Society home loan?
Newcastle Permanent tends to suit NSW borrowers, especially in Newcastle, the Hunter and regional areas, who want customer-owned pricing without giving up branches, and first home buyers, since it is an approved lender for the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme. Its variable rates regularly appear near the top of our leaderboard, so check the live table above to see where it sits today.
Since the 2023 merger, its sister brand Greater Bank runs under the same NGM Group and is worth comparing too, since each brand keeps its own pricing. Buying or refinancing in its home city? See home loan rates in Newcastle.

Newcastle Permanent Building Society home loans: frequently asked questions
What are Newcastle Permanent Building Society home loan rates?
Newcastle Permanent Building Society home loan rates are in the live table on this page. The lowest variable rate Ratesniffers ranks is currently 5.94% p.a., and the lowest fixed rate is 6.29% p.a., checked daily (last verified 14 Sept 2026). Compare Newcastle Permanent Building Society against the wider market at /home-loans. The /guides/comparison-rate explains the fee-inclusive figure used to rank the table. To model extra payments on a Newcastle Permanent Building Society balance, use /calculators/extra-repayment.
What is the lowest Newcastle Permanent Building Society home loan rate?
Newcastle Permanent Building Society's lowest variable home loan rate is currently 5.94% p.a., and its lowest fixed rate is 6.29% p.a., based on the 47 Newcastle Permanent Building Society products Ratesniffers ranks by comparison rate, checked daily (last verified 14 Sept 2026). The advertised rate isn't always the rate Newcastle Permanent Building Society approves, a broker can often negotiate a sharper deal on your scenario.
What is the monthly repayment on a $600,000 Newcastle Permanent Building Society home loan?
At Newcastle Permanent Building Society's lowest variable rate of 5.94% p.a., a $600,000 principal and interest loan over 30 years repays about $3,574 a month, and $500,000 about $2,978. That is an estimate at the advertised rate before fees; the comparison rate in the table above carries the fees, and a fixed or interest-only loan repays differently.
How much do you need to earn for a $500,000 Newcastle Permanent Building Society home loan?
There is no single salary. Like every Australian lender, Newcastle Permanent Building Society must assess a new home loan at a rate at least 3 percentage points above the loan's rate under APRA's serviceability buffer, so 5.94% p.a. is assessed at about 8.94% p.a., then test that repayment against income after living expenses and other debts. The income required calculator at /calculators/income-required works this backwards from a property price and deposit.
How does Newcastle Permanent Building Society's home loan rate compare to the market?
Newcastle Permanent Building Society's lowest variable home loan rate today is 5.94% p.a., which is 30 basis points below the market median of 6.24% p.a., which puts Newcastle Permanent Building Society among the more competitive lenders on variable rates today. This is computed daily from the live rates across the lenders Ratesniffers tracks, so it reflects where Newcastle Permanent Building Society sits right now rather than a fixed snapshot.
How many home loan products does Newcastle Permanent Building Society offer?
Ratesniffers currently tracks 208 Newcastle Permanent Building Society home loan products across variable, fixed and interest-only options for owner-occupiers and investors, and ranks the 47 that pass our data-quality checks on this page. Every rate is checked daily against each lender's current published pricing and ranked by comparison rate, the ASIC-mandated figure that folds in most fees, so the genuinely cheapest loans sit at the top.
Is Newcastle Permanent Building Society competitive for refinancing?
It depends on your loan size and LVR. Newcastle Permanent Building Society's lowest comparison rate is currently 5.98% p.a., worth checking against the wider market before you switch. On a $500,000 loan, even a 0.30% p.a. difference is about $100 a month, so comparing Newcastle Permanent Building Society against the sharpest available rate usually pays off.
How often are Newcastle Permanent Building Society's home loan rates updated?
Ratesniffers refreshes Newcastle Permanent Building Society's home loan rates daily; this page was last updated 14 Sept 2026. Rates can change whenever Newcastle Permanent Building Society reprices or the RBA moves the cash rate, so the figures shown reflect the most recent data we hold rather than a static snapshot.
What does Newcastle Permanent charge to set up, switch or discharge a home loan?
The establishment fee is $595 on the Real Deal, Fixed Rate and Bridging loans and nil on the Premium Plus Package, which instead charges $395 a year. A $350 application fee applies to top-ups, and switching products costs $350 outside the package. A discharge administration fee applies when the loan is repaid in full, plus any costs incurred.
Does Newcastle Permanent lend to self-employed borrowers?
Yes, self-employed borrowers can apply. Newcastle Permanent's home loan application checklist does not list a fixed set of documents for them; its lending staff advise at your appointment what financial information is required. Salaried applicants supply a recent payslip and their latest income statement or tax return, while investors supply a personal tax return and Notice of Assessment.
What are Newcastle Permanent's home loan rates in September 2026?
Newcastle Permanent's current home loan rates are in the live table above, ranked by comparison rate and refreshed from its published pricing rather than frozen into this answer. The Real Deal, Premium Plus Package and Fixed Rate loans price differently by LVR and loan size, so compare comparison rates, which include the $395 package fee where it applies.
Does Newcastle Permanent offer first home buyer loans with a 5% deposit?
Yes. Newcastle Permanent is an approved lender for the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme, so eligible first home buyers can apply with a 5% deposit and eligible single parents with 2%, without Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Since 1 October 2025 the scheme has had higher property price caps and fewer eligibility restrictions. Its Real Deal Home Loan is pitched at first home buyers.
What is the Newcastle Permanent Real Deal Home Loan?
The Real Deal Home Loan is Newcastle Permanent's variable loan for first home buyers and refinancers. It has nil monthly and annual fees, a $595 establishment fee, redraw, extra repayments, a split loan option and a $50,000 minimum, with LVR under 95%. Its current rate is in the table above; compare its comparison rate against the packaged Premium Plus Variable.
Does Newcastle Permanent charge an annual fee on its home loans?
Only on the Premium Plus Package, which costs $395 a year and in return has nil establishment and monthly fees, a 100% offset account, a Value+ credit card with no annual fee and insurance discounts. The Real Deal Home Loan has nil monthly and annual fees but a $595 establishment fee, so weigh upfront against ongoing costs with the comparison rate.
Is Newcastle Permanent a bank or a building society?
Newcastle Permanent is a customer-owned lender that is part of Newcastle Greater Mutual Group Ltd (NGM Group), which also owns Greater Bank, and lends under Australian Credit Licence 238273. As a mutual, it returns profits to customers through pricing and service rather than to shareholders. Its home loan offers exclude refinances from Greater Bank, since both brands sit in the same group.
