pring has arrived and with interest rates hovering around historical lows, now may be a good time for borrowers to give their mortgage a much needed spring clean and make sure their current home loan is still the most suitable product for their needs.

Mortgage Choice spokesperson Jessica Darnbrough said giving the mortgage a spring clean each year can be a positive thing.

“A good de-clutter never goes astray and often borrowers uncover financial aspects of their life that need some reassessment or to be changed altogether,” she said.

“And with interest rates sitting at historical lows and Australia’s lenders actively competing for business through sharp pricing, significant discounts and other incentives, borrowers may find a simple spring clean of their mortgage can save them thousands of dollars.”

According to Ms Darnbrough, borrowers who give their home loan a spring clean may realise that they are in the perfect position to refinance their mortgage.

“Refinancing may allow borrowers to repay their home loan sooner and ultimately achieve their next financial goal sooner,” she said.

Mortgage Choice offers the following tips as a starting point for those borrowers wishing to give their mortgage a spring clean: 1. Look at your past year’s budget: Investigate what aspects of your spending you can move around so you can add extra dollars to your mortgage. Every little bit goes a long way to reducing your debt, saving on interest payments as well as time off the loan term 2. Get to know your mortgage: Recent research showed more than half of Australia’s mortgage holders do not know

their mortgage interest rate. It is one of the biggest financial commitments a person can make, so it is good to know all about it 3. Consider the mortgage features: Does your loan have a range of features you don’t use? You might be able to switch to a ‘cheaper’ loan with fewer options. Or, you may benefit from a loan with more features 4. Look into debt consolidation: If you are struggling with a range of debt repayments, rolling your other debts into your mortgage can help you to pay less each repayment period and gain some peace of mind. However, remember that those debts will be stretched over a longer period 5. Get a free home loan health check: This can help you understand what home loan features are available to you from various lenders.

Now is the perfect time to buy a house With interest rates staying low, it might be the perfect time to get out of the rental cycle and into your own home

W

ith interest rates still at record lows, Yellow Brick Road Penrith Principal and Wealth Manager Matt Dwyer says that every Penrith resident that dreams of owning their own home should take advantage and make that dream a reality.

Mr Dwyer says he has several tips for potential property owners looking to take advantage of low interest rates.

“Before taking on any more loans, pay down your most expensive debt, which will prob-

ably be credit card, store finance or a personal loan,” he says.

“In a very low interest rate environment, don’t be caught paying 15 to 20 per cent.”

He says you should also be able to get a loan rate under five per cent.

“With the low rates you should think very seriously about getting a home loan and using the low cost debt to own an appreciating asset and replace your rent. Keep in mind that property is a long term investment and rates can and will go up, so make sure you

are prepared,” Mr Dwyer said.

“A period of low interest rates is a good time to reduce your mortgage because small amounts of cash go a long way.

“If you had a $300,000 variable rate loan at 5.15 per cent, over 25 years, you would pay $1,781 per month. If you added $125 per month to the repayment, you’d save more than $32,000, and you’d pay-out the loan over three years faster.”

You can also use your mortgage to reduce expensive debt.

“As you build equity in your

property (the difference between the property’s value and what you owe) you can think about refinancing the mortgage and consolidating your high-interest debt into your low interest mortgage,” Mr Dwyer says.

“However, whilst consolidation can provide cash flow relief, you should always try to keep your repayments at the same level so you’re not extending your debt unnecessarily.”

Recall must be taken seriously M

aster Electricians Australia (MEA) has pleaded with home owners to check whether dangerous wiring had been installed in their homes, following the national recall announced by the ACCC. And even home owners who had performed electrical work themselves are being urged to take urgent action to fix a lifethreatening problem.

The ACCC has announced a recall of Infinity and Olsent brand electrical cables, warning of a risk of electrocution or fires due to the insulation becoming prematurely brittle. The recall follows a yearlong battle by Master Electricians to have the products recognised as dangerous.

MEA Chief Executive Officer Malcolm Richards said the safety recall was merely the first step, and would offer no protection to home owners unless they actively checked their homes for the dangerous products.

“The recall provides financial cover for the costs of removing and replacing cable that has been laid close to heat sources such as hot water systems or in accessible parts of any building, such as roof cavities, where people could come in contact with it,” he said.

“However, it is impossible for the suppliers of the product to know where it has been used. That’s why, if you’ve had electrical work done in the affected time period, you need to have it checked.”

The recall applies to all sizes and configurations of TPS and Orange Round mains power cables sold under the Infinity and Olsent brands. Both brands of cable were sold by Masters Home Improvement between March 2012 and September 2013, while Infinity cable was also sold by a number of other suppliers in the latter part of 2013.

“Ignoring the problem is simply not an option,” Mr Richards said this week.

Bits&Pieces The HIA New Home Sales Report, a survey of Australia’s largest volume builders, shows a relatively weak start to the fresh fiscal year, but that follows a very strong 2013/14. “The 2013/14 fiscal year saw the recovery in new home sales gather strong momentum. The 2014/15 year, however, has started with confirmation of a downward trend emerging,” said HIA Chief Economist, Dr Harley Dale.

“Nevertheless, we still expect this year to record a reasonably healthy level of sales activity.”

house in High Street, Penrith has sold at auction for $892,000 – smashing the $650,000 reserve price. 25 registered bidders were interested in the property.

Tenants who forego insuring the contents of their home may be risking up to $60,000 in personal possessions and further thousands in fixtures and fittings – simply because they don’t understand the potential repercussions of accidents or theft – says leading insurance comparison experts comparethemarket.com.au.

Abigail Koch, spokesperson at comparethemarket.com.au, says, “Tenants are likely the least motivated household group to take out contents insurance in a climate of ongoing rental pressures, petrol increases and higher energy costs. Homeowners are motivated to have it because it’s simple to package into their home insurance and they feel an additional sense of responsibility. However, many tenants either aren’t aware of contents insurance or don’t think it’s necessary for them.”

Economists from the four leading Australian banks recently told the Australian Financial Review that the housing ‘bubble’ in NSW is non-existent. Westpac Chief Economist Bill Evans said the growth in incomes over the past 15 years has kept pace with the growth in house prices. “I think you get bubbles when house prices run well ahead of income growth and we just haven’t seen that,” Mr Evans said.

Industry analysis group BIS Shrapnel have released the Inner Sydney Apartment 2014-2021 report, which shows an exponential increase in apartment construction set for Sydney.

BIS Shrapnel has forecast that new apartment completions in Inner Sydney, which includes Sydney CBD and Inner West, are set to peak in 2017. The report shows around 5,800 apartments are currently under construction and 11,500 apartments will be finished over the next three years.

BIS Shrapnel report author Angie Zigomanis said this peak is expected to be on par with the previous 1999/2000 peak and as a result the value of both new and old apartments, close to the city, will fall five per cent in the two years leading up to 2018.

Mr Zigomanis said that the market might be playing “catch-up” after almost a decade of weak demand for new apartments and limited price growth.

A better look Is your bathroom looking a little drab and out of date?

It doesn’t have to cost the world to give it a makeover

RBA leaves rates on hold again The spring property market will be buoyed by the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged at the start of the busiest selling season of the year, according to the nation’s Friday 5 September 2014

Tips for your lawn mower Change the air filter: Change the air filter to allow the engine to ‘breathe’ properly. The air filter’s role is to suspend oil droplets within it to filter out dirt and particles. Air filters routinely get clogged with oil and debris, so replacing your filter before each mowing season will help protect the mower’s engine and ensure it runs optimally.

Change the oil: Most mowers these days are four stroke engines which require oil to be replaced each year, or after 25 hours of use. To remove the old oil, Victa recommend the Briggs & Stratton Oil Removal Kit.

athrooms and kitchens tend to be the areas of the home that can most benefit from a makeover. Unfortunately they can also be the most costly home improvements. But even if you can’t afford to do a full renovation just updating your tapware, bath or shower can transform the look of the room.

Bunnings National Bathroom Buyer Adam Cole has some tips for those wanting to update their tapware, bath or shower.

When it comes to choosing the right bath there are a few things to consider. Firstly you need to look at the space that you have to work with. If your bathroom is on the smaller side a traditional built-in bath may be the best option. If you have a larger room then a freestanding bath placed in the middle of the room can have a huge impact on the look and feel of the room, creating a strong statement and making your bath a

Change the blades: Worn mower blades tear the grass instead of cutting it. When blunt, visit a specialist mower service centre where they can replace the blades, bolts and nuts.

place to relax and unwind. When it comes to tapware the options will ultimately depend on the type of bath you decide on. Wallmounted taps are perfect for baths that sit close to the wall while floor-mounted taps will allow you to accommodate a bath that is placed in the centre of the room.

Another option is to update your shower, with each type offering a range of benefits. A hand shower can suit different heights and is perfect for the kids, whereas wall showers on a movable arm have the benefit of being able to direct

the angle of the water wherever it’s needed. Next you can choose from different shower spray patterns whether you prefer soft or hard, narrow or wide. There are also showers on the market that have adjustable spray settings that can be changed just by pushing a button, making it easy to cater for everyone in the family.

biggest real estate network LJ Hooker.

Chief Executive Officer Grant Harrod said the already historic low cash rate should continue to fuel the market as it has done over winter.

“There has been no traditional lull because there is still a shortage of listings yet strong demand

both by owner-occupiers and investors,” he said.

“Consumer confidence remains high which is a direct result of the continued low interest rates and the belief that there is still some life left in the current housing cycle.”

Mr Harrod believes interest rates are likely to remain on hold until

Replace the spark plug: Changing your spark plug is one of the easiest ways to promote easy starting of your lawn mower. To avoid stalled-start frustration, replace the spark plug every season. Spark plugs are pre-gapped, so all you need to do is remove the old spark plug and replace it with a new one.

Grease the parts: It’s also important to grease all the hinges, wheels and moveable parts to ensure ease of movement.

Help cure childhood cancer Donate at buildforacure.org.au, or buy a $2 token at participating Big W stores throughout September.

Because it’s not if, it’s when we will cure childhood cancer.

Hugo, age 6

Children’s Cancer Institute is the only independent medical research facility in Australia wholly dedicated to childhood cancer.

This September, PRDnationwide is proud to join McDonald Jones Homes, Wearn Brothers Group and Austral Bricks to Build for a Cure.

In just 21 days, volunteer crews will work 24/7 to build a brand new ‘Havana One’ 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Glenmore Park (NSW). The home will be auctioned by PRDnationwide Penrith on 26 October, fully furnished by Freedom, with kitchen and laundry appliances by Electrolux and home entertainment by Panasonic.

Proceeds from the sale will go directly to research into finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Proudly supported by Penrith (02) 4732 3711 www.prd.net.au WW9891
