22.01.2022 For those of you interested in the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme, here is the latest information on eligibility. Plus you can also download a fact sheet from the site too. https://www.nhfic.gov.au/what-we-do/fhlds/eligibility/

21.01.2022 This is why were big fans of mortgage brokers.

20.01.2022 When buying your first home, what do you consider to be a deal breaker? It might be something big or small... and thats OK. If its something that can be fixed, like ugly kitchen cupboards or bathroom tiles, it shouldnt be a deal breaker. ... However, if its something out of your control (like its position or suburb) or involves a HUGE cost to rectify, its OK to say NO and keep searching. So what is a deal breaker for you? Here are some common ones weve thought of. Location/Suburb Neighbours and Street appeal Proximity to work and social activities Number of bedrooms/bathrooms/car spaces How much TLC it needs No natural light What have we missed? Add yours to the comments below.

20.01.2022 Our Co-founder Daniel Baxter was invited on the 'Everything Property' Podcast to have a chat with the guys from Pivotal Homes. He spoke with Hayden and Tom about all things affecting first home buyers (the good and the bad) and everything you need to be aware of when building your first home. You can check out the links below to watch, listen in and subscribe. ... Thanks for having us on guys!

20.01.2022 Did you hear? The RBA has cut the cash rate for the second month in a row to a new record low of 1.0% But the question remains, which banks will pass this on to their customers?

20.01.2022 Are you thinking about taking advantage of the Governments First Home Loan Deposit Scheme? Do you know how you can apply, which lenders its available through, and if you even qualify? If youd like to know more, comment Fact Sheet below (or send us a message) and well PM you a copy of the latest information and eligibility requirements.

19.01.2022 Great news for first home buyers. It looks like that home loan of yours is going to become even more affordable The RBA has cut interest rates to a historic low of 1.25% - The Reserve Bank dropped the official cash rate for the first time in almost three years. Now we just need the banks to pass these savings onto their customers!

19.01.2022 The perfect property does not exist. You can get pretty close to it, but unless you have an endless budget, there will always be something you wished it had. This is why we encourage all of our first home buyer clients to make a list of their needs, wants and negotiables. So when it comes to the crunch and you have to make a decision on what type of first home you want to buy or build, youre making the choice with your head, not your heart!

19.01.2022 We all know life can be stressful. Sometimes its because youre making a big life decision, other times it might just be because youre having one of those days. Its OK to ask for help, no matter how big or small you think your challenge is. Its also OK to ask a friend (or even a stranger) R U OK? if you think theyre not.... Dont be afraid to reach out, regardless of which side of the conversation youre on.

19.01.2022 There are some really simple ways to help and give during these horrific bush fires. Not only can you make cash donations to various organisations (which Im sure youre already doing ), you can also support in other ways too. We just adopted a Koala named Anwen from the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital. ... For as little as $40 a year you can help with their rescue and provide ongoing support and treatment (not only during the bushfires, but afterwards as well). You can adopt from your business, for your child, even for someones birthday. It really is the gift that keeps giving and they need your help now more than ever. This is Anwens Story This gentle young female koala was the third burns patient to be admitted from the Lake Innes fireground. Lake Innes Nature Reserve Anwen had suffered singeing to 90% of her body and radiant burns to her hindquarters. Anwen also has burns to the pads on her hands and feet. Anwen has accepted the 5 star service at the Koala Hospital really well and loves the daily delivery of fresh leaf. Anwen has also found a perfect spot to sit in the unit that she can prop her very sore hands on so this has become Anwens spot. To adopt of donate you can head here https://www.koalahospital.org.au/adopt-a-koala

They research the hundreds of different home loans available and shop around for the best deal for you They recommend the most appropriate home loans and lenders based on your individual circumstances ... They fit in with your schedule (even outside normal business hours) and a lot of brokers will come to you - you dont see banks doing that! They look at more than just interest rates They deal with all of the confusing bank policies and guidelines to ensure you have the best chance of getting your home loan application approved Theyre there to hold your hand through the application and settlement process They liaise with conveyancers, real estate agents and lenders to make certain everything happens when it should They even help you apply for any stamp duty exemptions, Government grants, and any insurances you might need Best of all, theyre there supporting you, even once youve moved into your home. A great mortgage broker will keep in touch, to make sure youre never paying more than you need to They dont just help with home loans. They can also help with business, personal, car loans and when you need to refinance to buy an investment property or renovate, they can help you with that too. A great mortgage broker is like your Financial Fairy Godmother (or Godfather). Best of all, the large majority of Mortgage Brokers provide a complimentary service, meaning you get everything above (plus a whole lot more) free of charge If you dont have a great mortgage broker helping you (and youd like one), just let us know where you live in the comments below and we can recommend one of our certified partners who specialise in helping first home buyers.

03.01.2022 What is the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme AND Are You Eligible? In a nutshell, the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme will allow eligible first-time buyers to enter the property market sooner, by providing a Government guarantee that will allow first home buyers to purchase a home with a deposit of 5%. The government will essentially act as a guarantor, securing the remaining deposit to bring the borrower up to 20%. ... Click below to find out what we know about the scheme so far, and if you may be eligible.

03.01.2022 The recent drop in interest rates means there are now more suburbs where its actually cheaper to buy a property than rent one. If you were hoping for these suburbs to be in Sydney and Melbourne, youll be disappointed to find they have the least amount. However, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide have a combined total of over 200 to choose from.
