Buying a New Home + Being prepared

Pre-arranging finance for your new purchase can only simplify your buying process. Your effort and time invested in finding and purchasing a new home may be substantial and the process may also include many uncertainties. Finance approval (conditional on finding a suitable property) is the easiest way to remove at least one of these uncertainties.

A home loan "Pre-Approval" will offer you a quantifiable dollar amount to narrow the property search and may offer you strength in a competitive position - allowing you to act quickly and decisively when the perfect opportunity arises.

Provide clarity at an auction - auctions can be an uncertain and often an emotional process. A pre-approval from a lender at your pre-determined maximum borrowing level can take the emotion out of the auction process.

Conveyancing

Engaging a Solicitor or Conveyancer at an early stage is also good preparation for a new purchase. Having them check Contracts of Sale for any special conditions or limitations is a prudent step before bidding at an auction.

Introducing your Conveyancer to your Mortgage Advisor is also a great idea to streamline the whole process. Allowing direct communication between these two parties acting for you, can speed-up information flow and ensure settlement occurs smoothly and on time.

Holistic Home Loans has worked with many Conveyancers. If you don't have a Conveyancer that "knows their stuff" then feel free to ask our advisors for a good contact in your area.

Transition between Homes

Relocating is a big deal, especially when it involves selling your existing home to buy another, or reassessing whether your finances will allow the existing home to become a rental property."
