24.01.2022 Getting stung by the "loyalty tax"? The loyalty tax is real. Statistics show that mortgage holders with older loans are typically charged a higher interest rate than customers with new loans.* For example, if your loan was written four years ago, there's a good chance you're paying an average of 40 basis points higher than you would if you had a new loan. ... So when was the last time you refinanced?

24.01.2022 The festive season is fast approaching and this year, more than ever, it’s important for businesses to ensure they have their cash flow management in order. Here are our top 8 ideas to help you through the upcoming period. While the holiday period is usually a boom for retailers, cash flow problems still hamper many businesses, as accounts departments across the country take a much needed holiday.

24.01.2022 I recently had the privilege and honour of being the MC and Auctioneer or the Empty Bowls Perth event in support of Foodbank WA. Such a wonderful day shared with like minded people. Together over $19,000 was raised which equals 38,000 meals for people in WA who are food insecure. Thanks to Liz Berry from Kore Earth, Deanne Parker from White Peacock Studios for asking me to be involved; to Andrew Wilkinson for the support and to Duc Pham, Foodbank Ambassador for your encour...agement. This event bought together potters from all over Perth who donated their beautiful hand made bowls, restaurants and suppliers who donated soup and bread, young artists from WAAPA who entertained everyone and local Perth artists who kindly donated beautiful pieces of art to be auctioned for a great cause. These are the things that fill my cup. Next time you see Foodbank WA reaching out for support - get on board! You will be helping people less fortunate and the reward you receive is the best feeling on earth!

22.01.2022 How much do you spends on gifts each month? $20, $50 or 100? It turns out we're a generous bunch, spending about $100 a month on gifts, let alone the silly season itself!* What we're getting at is this: it's always a good idea to try and budget for gifts throughout the year so you can pay for them outright when the festive season arrives.... That's because you don't want to leave it all to the last minute as the banks don't look too favourably upon buy-now, pay-later transactions (like AfterPay and ZipPay) when you apply for a loan. * Financial Planning Association of Australia #BuurmanFinance #Applecross #Shelley #Perth #PerthMortgageBroker #PerthHomeLoans #SupportingWomen #FinanceEducation #Mortgages #Firsthomes #Homebuyers #Properties #ServiceExcellence #Vehiclefinance See more

21.01.2022 Has your idea of 'the perfect location' changed since COVID-19 hit? With so many of us working from home these days, potential home buyers are now less keen on living in high-density areas and cities than they once were. Spacious living is now a top priority, with 34% of would-be buyers wanting to live somewhere less populated, a third seeking to be closer to shops and parks, and one in five keen on suburbs with larger properties. ...

20.01.2022 How long do you think it takes a First Home Buyer to save a deposit? The short answer is around 3 to 6 years, depending on where you want to buy.* If you're just itching to enter the market your best bet is Darwin, where it takes an average 3 years 1 month to save a 20% deposit.

19.01.2022 ‘Tis the season to be jolly, but it’s important not to get carried away when using ‘buy now, pay later’ providers to fund that festive spirit. That’s because one-in-five users struggle to make their repayments, new research has found. Christmas is a time for giving - it’s a line that’s been drummed into us since we popped our first piece of chocolate out of an advent calendar.

18.01.2022 Should you be locking in your rate? As with many things in life, it all depends on your individual circumstances and preferences. You might prefer not to lock in a rate if you:... - don’t mind having some unpredictability in your financial planning - are confident interest rates will continue to fall - prefer to go with market rates. On the other hand, you might want to lock in a rate if you: - are concerned you'd be unable to make repayments if rates rise - prefer to plan your finances accurately - won’t suffer from FOMO if rates drop further.

18.01.2022 Supporting women in an elite sport pathway. Introducing you to Sunday Aryang and Ruth Aryang. Both of these amazing young athletes play for Rangers in the West Australian Netball League (WANL) where just 8 teams across the state compete. This is the competition that sits directly under the National competition (ANL) and is a pathway to the Suncorp Super League. Sunday has already made training partner for Fever and has had the opportunity to take the court with them a few ti...mes already! Supporting young athletes has been a passion of mine for many years. Watching their dedication and commitment to training and witnessing their development over time has been such a rewarding experience. Buurman Finance Solutions sponsors Sunday and Ruth to enable them to focus on their sport without the financial pressures. Unfortunately, female sport is not financially supported in the same way as men’s sport is. As a direct comparison the WANL competition is the same to netball as the WAFL is to the AFL it’s their underpinning athlete pool. The athletes who play in WANL still have to pay to play! Yes, that’s right they have to pay fees to play in the competition at this level crazy yes? So, if you are a business that would like to support young talented female athletes in an elite sports pathway, please message me to find out how you can join us. Sponsorship packages start from as little as $500 and you will be rewarded with knowing you are helping a talented athlete achieve their goals without the financial pressures.

08.01.2022 Recently, I had the opportunity to take some of my clients and connections on a tour of Foodbank WA's facility. To say it was a day of mixed emotions is an understatement! It was both heartwarming and disturbing at the same time. Heartwarming to see so much great work being done by an organisation for people less fortunate, but disturbing to see the magnitude of the problem that exists in our own state. Did you know that over 300,000 West Australians are food insecure? This m...eans they are unable to regularly put healthy meals on the table for their families. Can you imagine being a parent and not being able to feed your children? Incredible to think this happens in WA but it IS happening! I have supported Foodbank WA for sometime now but after visiting their warehouse and community kitchens, I am determined to do more, help more, give more. Will you join me in this fight against hunger? While you are thinking about what you will be eating on Christmas Day this year and what that will cost you. Think about this, $10 equates to 20 meals at Foodbank. They amazingly cut the cost of preparing meals to just 50cents! Whatever you have to give, please do it now. https://lnkd.in/gqwd65w #UncancelChristmas #zerohunger

08.01.2022 CONNECTION - is one of my core values. Connecting in a genuine and meaningful way with family, friends, work colleagues, industry partners, my clients and other like minded business owners is something I strive to do every day. I believe the main skill required to do this is to simply listen, genuinely listen. If you want a real connection with people, understanding what is important to them is vital. It enables you to connect on a deeper level and truely engage. Recen...tly I have been to a number of events where I have been able to enjoy this ability to connect. Meeting people from various backgrounds, understanding their struggles and celebrating their triumphs is so satisfying for me on a personal level. I think it's all about finding your tribe. Thanks to Perth Business Network, for welcoming me into your Tribe and for providing these wonderful events that enable me to connect with other like minded people.

07.01.2022 Tempted to Afterpay? Read this first Afterpay can certainly be tempting (particularly at 2 in the morning), but it can lead to consequences that linger long after the new shoe glow has faded. While the Afterpay approval process doesn't (generally) involve credit report checks, Afterpay (and its competitors such as ZipPay) is still a credit liability that needs to be disclosed when applying for a home loan. ... And with the banks pretty rigorous when it comes to approving loans these days, your next property purchase could be held up if you’ve racked up an Afterpay bill. So next time your finger is hovering over the Afterpay button, ask yourself: how will this look on my loan application? #BuurmanFinance #Applecross #Shelley #Perth #PerthMortgageBroker #PerthHomeLoans #SupportingWomen #FinanceEducation #Mortgages #Firsthomes Homebuyers #Properties #ServiceExcellence #Vehiclefinance

06.01.2022 Trend alert: offset accounts It's not exactly the latest Parisian fashion fad, but Aussies have recently been putting more money into their offset accounts than usual.* So what exactly is an offset account? It's a transaction account that is linked to a mortgage account and it reduces the interest you pay on your loan. That's because you only pay interest on the difference between the amount of money in the account and what's left to pay on your mortgage.... Here's an example: say you owe $350,000 on your mortgage, and have $50,000 in a savings account. If you move that $50,000 into a full offset account, you’ll only pay interest on $300,000.

Demand for used cars is at an all-time high, with COVID-19 putting pressure on household budgets, limiting the import of new cars and decreasing public transport use.* These factors also mean second-hand car prices have held pretty steady. ...

03.01.2022 Ever thought about downsizing? Buying a smaller property can be an opportunity to live in a newer space, with lower maintenance and better services and amenities.

03.01.2022 Strap yourself in: Australian house prices are tipped to experience a mild COVID-19 dip before surging 15% over the following two years, according to some of the nation's top economists.

02.01.2022 Woah! Get a load of this: 2nd hand car prices have jumped up 25% this year!* There's a good reason for it: fewer new cars are being imported into the country due to coronavirus, which is driving up prices in the used car market. With that in mind, it's never been more important to have us riding shotgun with you when making a vehicle purchase.... That's because with prices so high, it's vital to have us help you secure a super competitive rate on your car finance, rather than relying on what the car dealership is offering.

01.01.2022 Considering refinancing? Don't forget to prepare for a valuation! Aussies are refinancing in record high numbers at the moment,* which makes it a good time to talk valuations. That's because when you refinance your home loan, your lender will arrange a valuation to estimate what your property is worth. And it's important to be prepared because as many as 1 in 7 home owners* are unsuccessful in refinancing their mortgage because the value of their property has fallen. ... So here are four ways you can prepare for a valuation: 1. Spring clean! Whether you do it yourself, or hire professional cleaners and landscapers, make sure your house's interior and exterior are looking spick and span. 2. List your property’s features: make a list of the best things about your property and give it to the valuer, just in case they miss that newly-installed double garage. 3. Local community developments: share a list of any upcoming community developments, such as a public transport hub or you-beaut bike path. 4. Dig out some paper work: if you have building plans, council rates notices and/or land tax valuations, make them available to the valuer. To discuss refinancing, call 0432 141 930, email [email protected] or DM us. *Sources: ABS, State Custodians #BuurmanFinance #Applecross #Shelley #Perth #PerthMortgageBroker #PerthHomeLoans #SupportingWomen #FinanceEducation #Mortgages #Firsthomes #Homebuyers #Properties #ServiceExcellence #Vehiclefinance
