Why should homebuyers talk to mortgage brokers?
Whenever we’re set to make a major purchase, it makes sense to look at as many options as possible, which is what our mortgage brokers do for homebuyers. Their job is to source the cheapest home loans around, talk you through the application process, before liaising with all the parties involved to bring about a faster resolution.
In short, using a Savvy broker should get you into your new place cheaper and quicker with a much more useful home loan product than if you did everything yourself or went straight to your bank.
Can my Savvy broker access mortgage types for different budgets?
Yes – our mortgage brokers need to have access to a comprehensive selection of lenders and products. That’s primarily because the local home buyers come from all sorts of backgrounds and have a full range of budgets, jobs, and property goals:
- Space for the family:
Richmond is close enough to the city to have a real buzz, but it’s far enough out to have its own distinct vibe. It has space but it’s by no means a new suburb, with its roots in the working-class Melbourne of yesteryear. That means there are houses with decent yards, front and back, if you’re looking for a low-interest home loan with fixed-rate repayments to buy a family pad. Over the years, many of its old warehouses have been converted into ultra-cool loft apartments, and that’s reflected in what’s typically available to buy. - 15 minutes for commuters to the CBD:
Given it’s such an easy journey to the CBD (just 4 km and 15 minutes on the train), the suburb is the ideal location for a mix of home buyers, including city workers who can benefit from professional package home loans which offer interest discounts based on your occupation. You can also choose from some great self-employed home loan options with a low variable interest rate – or go for fixed if you want something more predictable. - First-time buyer friendly apartments:
That being said, you can still pick up first-time buyer priced apartments for under $500,000 – which is crazy given its proximity to the city. First-time buyers can benefit from using a family pledge loan to get help when a family member wants to supplement their down payment and a broker can help with a range of options for low-deposit home loans.
I’m an investor. Can a mortgage broker find me a great deal?
Yes – the attraction to Richmond is certainly not lost on renters either. This neighbourhood is walkable to the MCG, packed with all sorts of bars and restaurants and full of places to shop – and you can still rent a unit or apartment for about $420 per week.
Bearing in mind canny investors can still pick one of those properties up for under $500,000 and get close to a 5% yield, it’s worth asking a local broker about specialist mortgage solutions. They’ll be happy to help you compare hundreds of investment home loans along with a range of features that make managing a second home easier, like interest-only repayments, split-rate options, redraw and line of credit facilities and offset accounts.
