BUYING YOUR NEXT HOME
If you’re thinking of upgrading, downgrading or simply relocating, there are two things you will need to know to make the transition between homes as smooth as possible.
-
The value of my current home
-
How much I will need for my next home
MOVING ON FROM A PROPERTY CAN BE DIFFICULT
The value of my current home
Valuing a home is not as simple as a report from your real estate agent. This is only a market appraisal. A lender will only lend against their own valuation report which comes from a valuer appointed by them.
At LadyBird, before the loan application commences we are fortunate enough to be able to order an upfront valuation through the Lender. Not all Home Loan Specialists, mortgage brokers or bank branch staff have access to this privilege and service offering.
HOW MUCH WILL I NEED FOR MY NEXT HOME?
The value LadyBird can bring to this phase of your home purchase is understanding the true costs of buying and selling property.
This insight enables LadyBird to determine the actual net position that you need to borrow and, in turn, this translates to what your new weekly repayments are going to be.
If you do require additional monies for your next home, it may also be time to review your loan to see if it still suits your needs, or if we can find you a better deal.
BUYING AN INVESTMENT
Australians love investing in bricks and mortar. Property is often seen as a solid investment that provides good returns over the long run.
But like all investments, it pays to do your homework before taking the plunge. The shortage of rental properties combined with rising rental prices in most markets means if you choose the right property, and the right loan, you could reap the financial rewards.
TIPS FOR YOU TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR INVESTMENT
-
Take a long-term view and realise that investing in property is usually a long-term strategy
-
The housing market is generally a 7-10 year cycle; there are always highs, lows and steady patches.
-
Make sure you’re comfortable with how much you’re borrowing, and you know what your financial goals are.
-
Plan ahead – you may find a long-term tenant or you may find that your tenants come and go.
-
Make sure your cashflow is sufficient so that you can cover the mortgage and other outgoings while the property is empty.
