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?
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
