INDUSTRY COMMENT

Getting ready to downsize Christmas is well and truly over and the New Year is heating up! It’s the time of year when many are considering a property downsize. This is a huge step and careful planning is required.

First things first. Start with having a major de-clutter. (This advice is for everyone, not those wanting a smaller, easier-to-care-for property). With interest, I have read people’s general goals this year, and the common theme is to live a much more minimalistic lifestyle.

Now first thing first, call an agent and get an appraisals, remember that obtaining a home appraisal is FREE. An appraisal is provided by a licensed real estate sales person. This report will provide you with an approximate price, so that you will know where your property sits in the current market. Any report completed more than six months previously will need to be updated. The Real Estate Agents Act 2008 states that all agents must view the property first, coming back with an estimate, before signing a listing with you. The finished report should include the costs involved in selling, such as advertising, and include the percentage of the commission. As Mark Williams mentioned in last week’s comment, choose your salespeople on their strengths, don’t just chose the agent that proposes the highest appraisal price for your property.

The next thing to consider, once you are ready to market your family home, is

Eliza Waszczak

whether you are going to wait until you find the perfect home then buy subject to selling, or sell subject to buying a suitable property? Talk to family members about what you are doing as they might like to help you search. Make a list of what you are looking for: Smaller? Easy care?

Modern? Garden? Heating? Some things require more thought ... Can you afford a home that already has double glazing for example, or are you willing to spend money to upgrade a suitable property?

Always talk to your solicitor about your intentions. You will need to consider if your present home is in a family trust, and

whether all the trustees will agree with the sale and purchase. Your new home might be on a cross lease, or part of a retirement development. Each scenario has special legal considerations.

Take the time to look at a few listings, before deciding you actually have fallen in love with one. Engage your special young people to help you search the internet if the computer isn’t something you use with ease; or ask your agent to show you what is on offer on their device. When you are truly ready to make the move, do it for you and not anyone else. Remember to make the process fun.

Back to the de-cluttering and downsizing. Start now, room by room.

Create boxes labelled: family; donate; sell; keep. Giving is fun! Family members might be able to help with listing your “sell” items on trademe. Stack the “keep items” in wardrobes, or the garage. Don’t forget to go through your clothing too.

Remember if you are seriously considering downsizing your home or moving into a retirement home do these things first, be in control! It will help you clear your mind and of course a de-cluttered home makes a great first impression when selling.

I personally don’t make New Year’s resolutions as I believe you should have goals set all the time and looking to achieve them. If you did make a New Year’s resolution that was a financial one, I’m here to help you achieve that.

I have access to numerous banks and financial institutions and because every individuals circumstance is different and every financial institution is different as well and everyone has a different fit. This is where I can place lending for the appropriate people for the appropriate circumstance.

I’ve been finding several people lately looking at refinancing because they’ve basically got the wrong lending product that doesn’t suit their circumstances.

All these circumstances are different for everybody and finding the right bank or financial institution is my job whether it is a New Year’s resolution or just a goal to clear you mortgage quicker, home improvements or new car or home.

This might be the year of clearing your loan, I’d like to say, I hope so but that would do me out of a job.
