HOME BUYERS GUIDE
HOME BUYERS GUIDE
Buying a home is one of the most exciting and rewarding milestones in life, and at WE R PR1ME Real Estate, we’re here to ensure that your journey is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Whether it’s your first time or you’ve bought before, planning ahead is key to making the process easier. In this guide, we’ll provide you with essential information to help you navigate everything from preparing for your move to understanding the impact of capital gains tax and the legal processes involved.
When searching for your dream home, we can offer you detailed insights into almost every property currently available, whether it is listed by WE R PR1ME Real Estate or another trusted agency. We’re committed to supporting you through the entire process—from researching the best areas and showcasing available properties, to negotiating the best deal on your behalf.
At WE R PR1ME Real Estate, we believe that informed decisions lead to successful property investments. To ensure you’re fully equipped to make the right choice, we guide you through every stage of your home-buying experience. Here’s a closer look at what you need to know:
No Deposit Required: For many buyers, no upfront deposit is needed, and certain loan products allow you to borrow more than 100% of the property’s value including additional costs such as deposit, transfer fees, and bond registration. First-Time Home Buyers: If you are a first-time buyer, there are special loan options available to make your purchase more accessible. Many lenders offer products that allow you to borrow more than the property’s value, helping you include the necessary costs in your home loan. Credit and Income Requirements: To qualify for a home loan, most banks require a clean credit record, a stable income, and, in some cases, a minimum employment history. Monthly repayments should not exceed 25% of your gross income.
WHAT CAN I AFFORD?
We understand how important it is to know your budget before you start your search for the perfect home. Our Home Loan Affordability Calculator helps you get a quick understanding of what you can afford based on your income and expenses. Additionally, we work with Multinet Home Loans to ensure that you’re pre-approved for the loan that suits you best, so you can move forward with confidence.
THE ROLE OF A BOND ORIGINATOR
Bond origination can be a game-changer in securing the best loan for your home. Working with a bond originator like Multinet means you only need to submit one application, and they’ll take care of the rest, ensuring you get the best deal possible while saving time and money. With interest-rate savings and expert guidance, a bond originator can help turn your dream of homeownership into a reality.
FACTORS THAT COULD DELAY THE BOND REGISTRATION PROCESS
To ensure a smooth home-buying process, be aware of the factors that could delay the registration of a bond, such as:
- Missing or incomplete personal information from the seller or buyer
- Delay in receiving cancellation figures and title deeds
- Outstanding bond or transfer payments
- Delays in submitting government capital subsidy or employee subsidy documents
