First Home Buyers


What comes first: the property or the loan?

It is easy to get carried away with the fun part of buying a property – looking at houses – but delaying the less compelling task of arranging finance will weaken your negotiating position on both the property and the loan.Looking for a property to purchase is an exciting time.

Choices regarding location, size, number of rooms and local amenities often see house hunters carried away in a deluge of daydreams and anticipation. But, before you get carried away, it’s important to check off the essentials first.

Although organising your finances may seem drab in comparison to perusing sales listings, gaining pre-approval with a lender will give you confidence about how much you can afford to borrow. First and foremost you need to determine if you’re eligible to borrow money from a lender.

Your ability to repay the loan will need to be assessed – you don’t want to find out after you’ve made an offer that your credit history or deposit is not up to scratch.” Arranging finance before finding the perfect property will put you in a good position when it comes time to make an offer. When you do find the house you have always wanted, you can present to the seller and estate agent as a prepared applicant who is serious and reliable.  It shows you mean business, and gives them peace of mind that your financing will not fall through. Don’t be afraid to let the selling agent know you have conditional loan approval in place and that you are working with a broker.Sellers are most interested in completing their sale fuss-free and with steadfast funding, and showing that you are capable of both will help put you at the top of a potentially competitive list of applicants. 

Arranging financing as an afterthought also adds immense pressure to the process of shopping around for the right loan and gathering the paperwork to prove you can service the loan. You don’t want to rush this process.Speak to us about next steps.

Self managed super funds


How to invest in property through a SMSF

For some years, self-managed super fund members have been able to invest in residential property, as long as they follow strict guidelines. 

The first step is to have a discussion with an expert to determine whether investing through an SMSF is the most appropriate approach to property investment given your personal circumstances.
We have a team of experts that can assist with next steps in this regard.  If it suits and is a goal then the next step is to set up the SMSF.  It is often suggested that you do this before you start looking at an investment property to buy. Another tip is to be aware that rolling over any existing super into a SMSF may take up to a month to process, so build in time for this to occur.  And remember insurance is also attached to your existing super fund in most cases so you need to ensure that this is also assessed as you move forwards. 

The property that you purchase is purchased via a bare trust.  This is effectively what the lenders lends money to.  The purpose of this trust is to allow a limited recourse borrowing arrangement to occur. This means, should you hit unexpected difficulties and be unable to make repayments, your lender can only access the assets that the loan is against.

One potential difficulty is that you have to have found the property you want to purchase to be able to establish the loan. It is all linked together and must treated as such.  

What can you buy?

There are two main, and fairly simple, rules of buying residential investment property through SMSFs. Firstly, you and your relatives cannot live in the property and, secondly, you can maintain the property but cannot improve it.  Oh and generally construction is not a consideration.  

The maximum borrowing within an SMSF is normally 80 per cent of the property value and it’s important to take into consideration that there is a cost to establishing and maintaining your SMSF, as well as subsequent fees and charges involved in the purchase of the investment property.
