Are you a first home buyer?
Auctions are coming back, there is an increase in the clearance rate compared to several months ago, as more bidders are returning to the auction rooms.
As a first home buyer, you would have invested your time on the weekend for open homes, and doing your due diligence, a pathway to secure your own home.
There have been situations whereby prospective buyers have participated in auctions. However, prior to engaging in auctions, they already had pre-approvals from two different lenders with varying lending limits. This action has significantly boosted the prospective buyer’s chances, thereby being well prepared ahead of the auction day.
1. Every lender has different credit appetite, which is constantly changing.
2. To keep a track of the lenders, and banking world, it can be overwhelming for prospective buyers, hence as a financial adviser we want to assist with your journey and make the buying process smooth.
3. Added benefit of financial advice, to ensure your loan is not only approved, but loan has been structured correctly and suits your financial objective.
Are you ready to bid on your next home?
