Pink Finance
One of the major decisions of home or investment property ownership is the decision to renovate or relocate.
Should you:
- Move somewhere new?
- Renovate your existing property?
The choice of what is best comes down to your lifestyle situation and financial situation. Pink Finance consultants can show you your options and help you decide.
I choose to Renovate
A change is as good as a holiday! Given the costs associated with relocating, renovating may be more economical option for you. Home improvements and renovations are becoming increasingly popular for this reason – to avoid those extra fees and costs.
Pink Finance can help you obtain the finance for your renovation.
Are your renovations extensive or minor? It matters
If the renovations are extensive, such as adding a new level to your property, you may need to obtain a Construction Loan.
If the renovations are minor, such as adding a pool, pergola, kitchen or bathroom, you may need an additional loan or line of credit.
The loan options and structures will be based on:
- Your current position
- The equity you have in your current home
- The end value of your home after the renovations are complete.
Your Pink Finance Consultant will be able to discuss which loan options are suited for you.
Costs associated with your renovation
Apart from the actual construction itself, additional costs that may apply include:
- Architect Services such as plans, if the renovation is extensive
- A Fixed Price Contract from your Builder
- Council Approval
- Construction Loan Costs
- Property Valuations
Demolition Costs
See the Toolbox and FAQ’s section to learn more about these costs.
I choose to Relocate
Congratulations, you’re moving to new and greener pastures! This is an exciting time. Let’s prepare this transition so you can have a stress-free process.
If you’re relocating, ideally you would have sold your home first.
TIP: Try to arrange a longer settlement term on your current property so you have enough time to find your next property. This way, you’ll know what funds you have for your relocation.
When you haven’t sold your home before your move…
If a longer settlement term is not available, Bridging Finance may be an option.
Visit our Toolbox to learn more about Bridging Finance.
If Bridging Finance is not an option, Pink Finance consultants can guide you through alternatives that can help you relocate successfully.
Stuck in limbo? Try renting
If you have sold your property and have not found another one to move into, a short term strategy is to rent. Renting can buy you time to find a property that is perfect for you.
Costs associated with your relocation
In addition to the costs associated with your purchase, there are additional costs associated with relocating such as:
- Removalists
- Storage
- Agents Fees
- Peak Debt (Bridging Finance)
- End Debt (The calculated debt you will have at the end of the bridging period)
Pink Finance will check your situation to make sure you have enough deposit to cover all the costs.
