Purchasing a Property

According to research from the Reserve Bank in its 2004 annual report, Australia enjoys one of the greatest home ownership rates in the world.

But in a time of high house prices how do you make this great Aussie dream a reality?

Common questions to consider

Some questions you may wish to consider include:

  • Am I better off renting than buying?
  • I really want my own place. How much do I need?
  • How much can I borrow?
  • How much deposit will I need?
  • What additional costs will I be up for when I buy a place of my own?
  • I’ve heard that there are concessions for first home buyers?
  • I’ve done all the numbers and even with the concessions, I still don’t have enough. How do I get my deposit together?
  • What should I do with my money while I try to accumulate a bigger deposit?
  • What types of loans are available?
  • What should I look for in a loan?
  • How do I find the right mortgage for me?
