Need Help With Your First Home Loan?

Buying your first home is an important step - and if you make the right decisions it can help form the foundation on which to build assets for life. And the right decision doesn't only mean finding the right property - it involves choosing the right type of loan from the best lender too.

If you're a first home buyer, you'll typically need to borrow a higher percentage of the valuation of your property. This can involve extra costs such as mortgage insurance. As a first home buyer you may also qualify for government grants and other state and national incentives that may be available from time to time. What is a first home buyers grant?

The federal goverment introduced the First Home Owner Grant in 2000 to facilitate buying first homes. The grant is not means-tested and consists of a one-off, tax-free payment of $7,000.

Ready to Buy Your Next Home Investment?

When you've been through the process of buying a home (or two or three...) before, it's not as scary - but can still be stressful. Since you last purchased a home your situations may have changed and you may now be a more astute property purchaser.

Your current property may have appreciated in value, thus decreasing the percentage of the valuation of the property that you need to borrow.

You have become an attractive client to a lender, you'll have a stable track record of making regular repayments, you are no longer a high risk borrower. These factors will help you to finding a much better deal.

This is where the knowledge and experience of your AHL Consultant can be invaluable. They'll help you decide which loan is the best for your situation, making sure you receive all the benefits of the loan of your choice.

Home Improvements, Extensions & Renovations

Sometimes the costs associated with selling and buying a new home (agent's fees and stamp duty) can be out of proportion to the benefits you gain. That's when it makes sound financial sense to look at renovating or extending your home. In some cases home owners can do it for around the same as the buying and selling costs for a new home.

When it comes to financing your renovations there are a range of options available. Which one is the most appropriate for you depends on your individual circumstances and factors such as how much equity you have in your home, any current loans, your overall financial situation and your timeframe. Working through all the options and taking everything into account can be reasonably complex, but very rewarding.
