A residential home loan, or commonly known as a residential mortgage loan, is credit borrowed from a financial institution and secured by a mortgage to purchase a home, land or building. The property is used for personal use rather than commercial or business and can be defined as an owner occupied property or investment property.

There are many steps involved from purchasing a property, applying for a home loan and managing a home loan post settlement. Not to mention, a home loan application can be applied whether you have signed a contract to purchase a property or interested in buying but have not quite found the one yet.

To break it down simply, once you’ve determined your budget and where you want to buy, speak to one of our brokers who will help you kick start the home loan process by finding out how much you can afford, help you organise the paperwork, find the best deal on the market for you and tailor a home loan that suits your lifestyle and needs. Before you know it, you’ll be a proud owner of your new home. Check out this article for more information or speak to one of our industry experts.

To help you get into the property market, the government has provided many grants and schemes to help first home buyers. You may have already heard of a few grants such as the First Home Owner’s Grant or the First Home Buyer Duty Exemption and many more. To find out about your eligibility, speak to one of our team members.

Fear not, the government funded grants are not limited to first home buyers or those new entering the property market. There are grants available for people looking to build or renovate their home or investment property, however eligibility criteria can be revised or changed. To find out about your eligibility, speak to one of our team members.

No, the difference in a residential investment property and a commercial property lies in the purpose of the property or building. A residential investment property is used for people to live in and is considered a home to someone while the property owner earns rental income. A commercial property on the other hand earns rental income by leasing the property for business use.
