Chattel Mortgage Loan Features
- The lender uses the asset/goods as security against the loan and the borrower makes monthly payments to repay the loan.
- The goods are referred to as ‘chattel’ in the loan contract and the lender effectively takes a mortgage over the goods until the borrower has finalised all payments.
- The borrower takes ownership of the goods at time of purchase (when the loan contract is finalised).
- Borrower is responsible for ongoing expenses, maintenance and other costs associated with the ownership of the goods over the loan term. For a vehicle or boat this would include rego, insurance, servicing etc.
- Simple loan structure – fixed loan term, fixed interest rate, fixed monthly payments, option for a balloon.
- The loan term will depend on the lender and the goods. From as low as 2 years up to 7 years for equipment and trucks.
- Balloon payment is optional. This is a percentage of the purchase price which is deferred for payment at the end of the loan term, when all monthly repayments have been finalised. The balloon can be paid as a lump sum or in some cases, refinanced.
