Buying Your Own Home

How much will it cost you?

Buying your own home will probably be the biggest financial decision in your life. You will need to understand how much that home is going to cost you now and in the future. The cost of your home does not stop with the purchase price. So it is very important to understand whether you can afford to buy your new home. We can help you to work this out and avoid being caught out.

In who’s name do you buy your home?

When you buy a home you have the choice to buy it in your own name, joint names (if you have a spouse), a trust or a company. This can be a tricky decision particularly if any of the following circumstances apply to you:-

• You run a Business
• You operate in a risky profession
• You expect your circumstances to change in the future (e.g. live in property now but rent later)

Which bank do you choose?

Most people need to go to a bank to buy their home. There are a number of banks offering different finance packages to help you purchase your new home. But how do you determine which one is the best for you? Do you take up a fixed or variable rate home loan? Is it best for you to use an interest only or principal & interest home loan?

Over the years, we have found that everybody’s circumstances are different. Everybody has different income and savings habits. Therefore, one loan type does not fit all. We will help you to choose a loan that suits you and gives you peace of mind.

We are Accountants and Independent Finance Brokers. These qualifications, together with our sophisticated Finance Software (updated daily), can make the decision quick and easy. This sets us apart from going direct to a Bank or another Finance Broker.

Should you update your insurances?

Many people buy their new home and obtain building insurance for fire or damage. However, they forget about life insurance or income protection insurance. When you buy your home it usually comes with a high bank debt. What happens if the main bread winner of a family gets sick, injured, or dies? Without insurance, it may be very difficult (if not impossible) for the family to stay in that home. We can help you to update your insurances and protect your family home.

Property Managed Funds

What are Property Managed Funds and how do you invest in them?

When you buy a property you are making a large investment in the one geographical location. You may be concerned about this. You may feel more comfortable diversifying your investment into several properties in different locations. You may also be in a situation where you do not have the funds to make such a large investment but you wish to still have a property exposure.

Property Managed Funds are a way to invest in commercial property with good diversification and lower geographical risk. This type of investment does not require a large sum of money. This is the easiest method to invest in property.

A Property Managed Fund pools investment money from different investors. Each of those investors has an ownership interest in the managed fund which is proportional to the amount they have invested. Each investor receives a proportional share of net income and capital growth on the properties purchased by the managed fund.

We can help you to select the right managed funds for you.
