Purchasing a property

Finding the right property and making all the arrangements to buy it can take time. It’s a big financial decision so it’s important to look at as many properties as possible and make the right choice. It’s also a good idea to speak with property experts such as real estate agents, bankers and mortgage brokers.

Before buying a home you should:

• consider the financial costs involved.
• find the right lender and home loan.
• identify where you’d like to buy.
• find the right house.
• arrange building inspections.
• think about how you’ll repay the home loan.

Buying your first home

Some questions you may wish to consider include:

• Am I better off renting than buying?
• How much can I borrow?
• How much deposit will I need?
• What additional costs will I be up for when I buy a place of my own?
• Are concessions for first homebuyers?
• What should I do with my money while I try to accumulate a bigger deposit?
• What types of loans are available?
• What should I look for in a loan?
• How do I find the right mortgage for me?
