24.01.2022 LVR is an abbreviation for the term Loan to Value ratio. It is the percentage of the loan amount compared to the value of that property. So, if a house is worth $600,000, and the mortgage is $420,000, then the LVR is 70%. Most Lender require a borrower to take out Lender’s Mortgage Insurance(LMI) if the LVR is 80% or more. For some lenders, the interest rates are different in regard to the amount of LVR. If you are looking for home loan with a higher LVR, just leave a message below, our mortgage expertises will contact you as soon as possible.

12.01.2022 For the first home buyer, if you don’t have sufficient deposit, there are still ways to buy your first home with little or no deposit. Generally speaking, with Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), a borrower is allowed to borrow a higher proportion (more than 80%) of the security value from banks. By using LMI, lenders are able to pass on the risk of a smaller deposit to the mortgage insurer. LMI protects lenders against a loss that borrower default on their home loan. Unlike tr...aditional insurance premiums, it's a once off premium paid by the borrower at settlement and usually can be capitalised within the loan. The cost may vary depending on the size of mortgage and Loan to Valuation Ratio (LVR).

12.01.2022 As our last post revealed that the valuation is to determine the value of the property, and calculate the LVR. This value could be different from the figure on the contract of sale, either higher or lower. The lenders will usually take the lower figure to calculate the LVR as they need to manage the risk. In this case, the valuation could be ordered with another lender to see whether there is a better valuation. However, for off-the-plan properties have been purchased for more than 12 months, some lenders can take the contract price as the property value. #mortgage #mortgagebroker #homeloan#property #ACT #Australia #realestate#valuation

06.01.2022 - Line of Credit - A line of credit has built-in flexibility, which is the main advantage. Borrowers can request a certain amount, but they do not have to use it all. Rather, borrowers can tailor what they spend to their needs, and they only have to pay interest on the amount they spend, not on the entire credit line. In addition, consumers can also adjust their repayment amounts as needed, based on their budget or cash flow. For example, borrowers can repay the entire outsta...nding balance at once, or they can opt just to make the minimum monthly payments. Don't hesitate to contact us now.

05.01.2022 What’s the difference between OFFSET ACCOUNTIS and loan with REDRAW FACILITY? You have to decide if you want to do one of two things: *Reduce the interest on your loan while maintaining day-to-day access of your cash: A mortgage offset account offsets the interest owing on your account, but enables you to have day-to-day access to the cash. It can be used in a transactional way, so is ideally suited for ho...me owners who want to minimise the interest owing on their repayments, without necessarily paying extra off their principal. *Pay off the loan itself (known as the principal): By paying the money directly into the loan, a redraw facility allows you to make payments towards paying off the principal, rather than simply reducing interest in the short-term interest. This is better suited for those who have a focus on paying off their mortgage earlier. Whichever type of facility you use, any extra that you can pay onto your mortgage can save you significant money in the long term.

05.01.2022 What are valuation and valuation report? *Valuation is an act or process of valuing the asset to be pledged. There are two types of valuation which is desktop valuations and full valuation. A desktop valuation is a computer-generated result from lenders' system. It usually does not require any supporting documents. ... A full valuation may be required in some cases. A qualified third-party valuer will visit and inspect the property to get a more accurate idea in regards to its size, fixtures and fittings, location, neighbourhood and etc. A contract of sale (for purchase) or council rate notice (for refinance) is required for a full valuation. *Valuation report is done after the valuation process to help determine the value of the property which is then used to calculate the LVR-Loan to Value Ratio (Please refer the previous post about LVR). It will tell the bank key points about the property market in the area, the condition of the property. #AbacusFinance #HomeLoans #LineofCredit #refinance #change #market #bank #investment #investing #property #realestate #growth #InterestRate
