Home Reno Update! 🏡

We've removed the void upstairs and extended the floor to create some extra living space!

The builder has finished, and next up is the electrician, plasterer, painting, carpet and some sheer curtains for the big window.

Still a bit to go, but really happy with how it's coming along!

Home Renovations – The Costs Can Add Up Quickly! 🏡

Thinking about making a few improvements around the house?

Whether it's laying a new concrete slab, replacing old carpet, updating your tiles, installing new blinds or giving the house a fresh coat of paint, even the smaller renovations can become expensive.

And that's before you start thinking about a new kitchen, bathroom or outdoor entertaining area!

The good news is you may not need to pay for everything out of your savings.

If you've owned your home for a few years, you may have built up equity that could potentially be used to help fund your renovations.

At GreenSpace Finance, we can help you explore options such as:

Accessing equity in your property

Increasing your existing home loan

Refinancing to another lender

Reviewing your current interest rate and loan structure

Before you start spending your savings, let's see what options are available to you.

Sometimes a quick review of your home loan is all it takes to understand what's possible.

One of the biggest decisions buyers face is whether to purchase a house or a unit.

Both have their advantages, but the right choice depends on your budget, lifestyle and long-term goals.

BUYING A HOUSE

Advantages:

Generally offers more space and privacy

Often includes your own land and backyard

Greater flexibility to renovate or extend (subject to approvals)

Land ownership can provide long-term capital growth potential

Things to consider:

Generally higher purchase price

More maintenance and upkeep

Potentially higher insurance and running costs

BUYING A UNIT

Advantages:

Often a more affordable entry into the property market

Generally less external maintenance

Can offer access to desirable locations at a lower price

May include shared facilities such as pools and gyms

Things to consider:

Body corporate fees and potential special levies

Less privacy and outdoor space

Restrictions on renovations and property changes

Capital growth can vary depending on location, land value and supply

SO, WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU BUY?

There isn't one right answer.

A house might offer more space and flexibility, while a unit could allow you to enter the property market sooner or buy in a location you otherwise couldn't afford.

My advice?

Don't just focus on the purchase price. Consider your borrowing capacity, ongoing costs and where you want to be in 5–10 years.

At GreenSpace Finance, we can help you understand your borrowing options before you start looking.

AUSTRALIA'S HOUSING MARKET – WE WANT YOUR OPINION!

There’s plenty of discussion about housing affordability, immigration, government spending and negative gearing.

But what do everyday Australians think should happen?

At GreenSpace Finance, we want to hear your thoughts on three big issues.

1. NEGATIVE GEARING

Should the government:

Keep the current negative gearing rules?

Change or remove negative gearing for existing investment properties?

What impact would this have on house prices, investors and renters?

2. IMMIGRATION

With ongoing housing affordability pressures, should immigration levels be:

A) Increased
B) Kept the same
C) Reduced

And what impact would this have on housing demand, employment and small businesses?

3. GOVERNMENT SPENDING

Should government spending be:

A) Increased
B) Kept the same
C) Reduced

If you think spending should change, where would you make the changes?

OVER TO YOU!

There are plenty of opinions on these topics, and we're genuinely interested in hearing yours.

What would you change if you were making the decisions?

ASK FOR HELP 🏡

Something I hear often from clients is:

“I don’t want help from my parents. I want to do it on my own.”

Firstly — I get it. I was the same way.

But here’s the thing…

Trying to do everything on your own could actually be costing you.

If your parents are in a position to help, accepting that support could mean buying sooner, needing a smaller deposit, or simply making the whole process a little easier.

There are a few ways parents may be able to help:

🏡 Family guarantee – using equity in their property to help with your purchase
💰 Gifted funds – helping towards your deposit or purchasing costs
🔑 Discounted or free rent – giving you some breathing room to build your savings faster

For a lot of parents, being able to help their kids get ahead is something they genuinely want to do.

My advice? If the help is there, don’t be too proud to consider it.

You can always find a way to pay it forward — or pay it back — down the track.

If you’re looking to buy and want to understand what options might be available to you and your family, reach out to GreenSpace Finance.

What happens on settlement day when buying subject to sale?

If you're selling your existing home to purchase another, both properties can often settle on the same day.

Here's how it works:

Your existing home settles first – The buyer pays for your property, your existing mortgage is paid out, and the remaining funds become available.

Your new lender provides the finance – Your bank contributes the approved loan amount towards your new purchase.

Your new property settles – Your conveyancer coordinates the funds from your sale and new mortgage to complete the purchase.

You collect your keys! – Once settlement is confirmed, you can take possession of your new home.

What if your existing home doesn't settle?

Your new purchase may also be delayed if you need the sale proceeds to complete it. This is why having the correct subject-to-sale conditions and coordinated settlement dates is so important.

GreenSpace Finance Tip: Your mortgage broker and conveyancer work together to help ensure your finance and both settlements are coordinated, making the transition between homes as smooth as possible.
