Cover story

Transformed to be like new. . .

19 Wilkin Street

. . . Without the new price tag!

Yes, 19 Wilkin Street stands out from the crowd, with its renewed interior able to seduce the most demanding critic. From the brand new, open plan kitchen through the dining area and into the spacious lounge with street view, this is a tempting offering for young and old alike.

The kitchen has ample cupboard and pantry space and is finished with designer stainless steel appliances and set off with a vibrant, sleek, green tile trim around the bench which adds WOW factor and desirability.

Off the lounge and dining is access to an enviable BBQ, patio, entertaining area via ranch sliders and is the hub of the summer sunshine.

Moving through we come to a large, modern, separate laundry equipped with plentiful storage and bench space. Then it’s onto the gorgeous bathroom with separate shower, freestanding bath and dual sink vanity unit.

With three wonderful bedrooms, the master with glamorous walk-in wardrobe complete with makeup station and then the ensuite providing the much sought after second bathroom privacy.

All of this, plus a double attached internal access garage and a garden shed complete with power, why build when this amazing home just awaits your family and furniture.

I look forward to seeing you at the open home. this Saturday at 1.30 – 2pm

Open Home: Sat, Mar 21, 1.30 - 2pm

Industry Comment

Doing it right, first time utilise the existing PAYE (pay as you earn) tax system. KiwiSaver includes a first home deposit subsidy which, after three years of saving, provides a first home deposit subsidy of $1,000 per year, up to a maximum of $5,000.

The time frame required to access the kiwisaver scheme is at least 20 working days to complete all the paperwork required, have a builders report and valuation of the property done.

AS A FIRST HOME BUYER, YOU WILL NEED TO CONSIDER:

Jill Quaid As a first home buyer, to find a good home loan you should investigate both your home loan options and government grants and entitlements you may be eligible for.

Buying your first home takes careful planning and, for most people, serious budgeting! There are a few different options available for buyers, but you need to take time to plan for the total cost of buying a home, including your mortgage, insurance, legal fees and other costs.

Some help may be available from the Government and KiwiSaver, too.

KiwiSaver is a voluntary workbased savings scheme designed to

•

what assistance is available to you as a first home buyer

•

suitable home loans for first time home buyers

•

the size of your deposit and where you will source this from

•

the fees and charges associated with purchasing a property

•

undertaking thorough research on the property market

•

finding a good mortgage broker, accountant, financial planner and solicitor

USING A MORTGAGE BROKER

It is no more expensive for you than approaching the lenders direct. You don't pay directly for their services - they are paid a commission by the lenders they use.

Brokers know the interest rates and application criteria for different lenders, and can negotiate on your behalf.

They can help you put your loan application together.

They may be able to help you find a loan if a bank has turned you down and may be able to get you a better deal than if you went direct.

FROM A VENDORS POINT OF VIEW

As a vendor the 20 working days for finance can create some problems. The property is effectively off the market to other buyers during this time-frame and it can stall the marketing momentum. The vendor may ask for a Rollover Clause to be inserted into the contract which means if the vendor receives another offer which they believe is more beneficial they can evoke the rollover and give the buyer three working days to go unconditional.

This puts huge pressure on the first home buyer and most often they cannot complete the sale, leaving them with expenses from the builder, valuer and solicitor.

To avoid all the expense and cost, I strongly recommend the buyers start the process of mortgage application before starting to look at property and finding something they really want only to miss out because of the time-frame required.
