WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BUYING ‘SUBJECT TO FINANCE’ Not sure if you’ll get the thumbs up for a home loan? But you really, really like that house that just popped up? Making an offer ‘subject to finance’ could be the right move.

Here’s how it works.

P

icture this. You’ve seen a home you’re crazy about, and you don’t want to miss out to another buyer. So, you sign on the dotted line and hand over your deposit.

Things are getting real now. But what if they’re not? What if you struggle to land a home loan?

It’s a scenario every home buyer dreads.

If you have to back out of the contract because you can’t get loan approval, you could lose your deposit.

One possible solution, however, is to make your offer ‘subject to finance’.

With that sort of buyer demand, there may not be much incentive for a seller to agree to an offer that’s subject to finance.

Or, if you’re buying at auction, the sale is usually unconditional. Chances are you won’t have an opportunity to alter the sale contract.

These drawbacks highlight the value of speaking to us before you go home hunting.

Having your loan pre-approved, for example, can take away a lot of the uncertainty around securing finance.

Why make an offer subject to finance?

In practical terms, making an offer subject to finance means an extra clause is added to the sale contract.

Essentially, it can allow the buyer to walk away from a sale with their deposit intact if mortgage finance can’t be arranged within a set timeframe.

Understandably, the seller won’t wait around forever. So, the time allowed to secure loan approval can be tight, often a matter of days.

However, a subject to finance clause could help you avoid a last minute race for finance – a pressurecooker situation that could see you accept a loan or lender that’s not right for your needs.

Can I buy before I sell?

When you’re ready to climb the property ladder, another key question is often whether it’s better to sell first and buy later.

With money in the bag from the sale of your old home, you may be less concerned about making an offer subject to finance.

That said, if you see a place you want to buy before your home sells, a bridging loan could cover the funding gap.

The beauty of a bridging loan is that this type of finance usually requires interest-only payments, not principal and interest payments.

The downside is that the interest rate tends to be higher than for a traditional home loan.

The downside of buying subject to finance There is a catch to making an offer subject to finance: the seller doesn’t have to agree to it.

In today’s property market, homes are selling fast – in as little as 10 days in some neighbourhoods.

Talk to us today There’s a lot to plan for when you’re buying your next home.

Call us to streamline your purchase. From subject to finance offers to bridging loans, upgrading can be a lot less stressful when you know the options.

Specialising in

Palm Meadows for over 20 years

After a holiday to the Gold Coast 40 years ago, John fell in love with the area and made the decision to live here. Specialising in the Palm Meadows property market for the past 20 years, John prides himself on his ability to bring together both the buyer and seller in such a way that both parties not only achieve their desired goals but positively enjoyed the process.

John attributes his ability to connect with people and quickly build rapport, largely down to his previous past experience within the retail sector. As an interior designer and decorator, John founded and opened 8 home wares and interior design stores all located in prime retail positions throughout Melbourne. Working closely with his clients to successfully create and design their dream home, not only involved a superior eye for detail but required John to engage elevated communication skills and to quickly develop close personal connections.

Utilising his past experiences and refined skills, along with his natural personable approach, is not only John’s defining difference as an agent but is the cornerstone to John’s continued positive outcomes and consistent client referrals.

John is without a doubt the leading agent in the area and holds the record for the highest sale price for each of the estates in Palm Meadows with single allotment homes.

Spinal cord injury at a glance Paralysis is the loss or impairment of voluntary movement and the loss of function and feeling.

The Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation has one main goal, to find a cure for paralysis for all, by funding world class spinal injury research.

Quadriplegia

In Australia, on average, one person sustains a spinal cord injury and is paralysed every day.

Since 2010, the Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation has invested millions of dollars into ground-breaking Australian research focused on finding a cure for paralysis.

Paraplegia

There are currently approximately 20,800 Australians living with a spinal cord injury.

Aside from the devastating personal trauma, the cost to our society to care for people living with a spinal injury is approximately $3.7 billion a year.

Read more about the research we fund here www.pcsrf.org.au/research

What if the ability to repair a spinal cord injury became a reality in the next five years?

rry_SpinalInjuryDL_Flyer_Mel.indd 1

The Spinal Injury Project at Griffith University, in partnership with Gold Coast local charity the Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation, is on the cusp of making this happen with a world-first Nerve Bridge Transplantation and Rehabilitation Human Clinical Trial.

This ground-breaking,27/5/21 world-first treatment involves the transplantation of the 2:47 pm patient’s own olfactory cells from the nose into the spinal cord.

Having proven that the treatment is effective in preclinical research, the team is now ready to test the therapy in a human clinical trial with an anticipated start in 2024.

The trial will have 15 participants living with a spinal cord injury and will test the safety and efficacy of the Nerve Bridge Transplantation and Rehabilitation Human Clinical Trial.
