Property settlement scams are becoming increasingly convincing, and more than two in five Australians cannot identify the warning signs. Here is what to look for before you transfer settlement funds.
Same Property. Different Valuation. Very Different Outcome. You’d expect them to be valued the same. In lending, that’s rarely the case.
Your equity might be there — but if your loans aren’t structured right, you may not be able to use it.
When it comes to property, location is everything, but even within the same suburb, a few streets can mean the difference between paying top dollar or landing a genuine bargain home.
Spare cash can be tight right now (cost of living crunch, anyone?). But if you’ve got some savings and a home loan in Australia, there’s a way to make your money work harder, through an offset account.
