Choosing the right mortgage requires analysis of a few important factors, not just the interest rate.

In fact, you may discover that the loan with the lowest interest rate is neither the โ€˜bestโ€™ nor the cheapest โ€“ although it could be.

Similarly, the cheapest loan may not necessarily be the โ€˜bestโ€™ and the โ€˜bestโ€™ loan may not be the cheapest. A loan with a higher interest rate may, for example, have fewer fees, a faster loan assessment process or less stringent qualifying criteria.

When comparing mortgages you need to consider the comparison rate, interest rate, associated fees and extra loan features or options.

Here are two tools to help you:

1. Key fact sheet: This is a summary of the loan you are considering, including features, detailed pricing and your personalised comparison rate

2. Loan comparison calculators: These are widely available online and allow you to input the fees, interest rates and additional charges of two different lenders to identify which offering may be โ€˜betterโ€™.

Improving your credit score is one of the best things you can do before applying for a home loan. It can make a big difference in getting approved and securing a better interest rate.

Start by checking your credit report โ€“ make sure no errors are dragging your score down. If you spot any, get them corrected right away.

Next, pay down any outstanding debts, especially loans, as these can impact your score.

Itโ€™s also important to avoid taking on new credit right before your application; multiple credit checks can bring your score down.

If you have any buy-now-pay-later accounts, consider paying them off early โ€“ lenders might see these as a sign of financial strain.

Lastly, always pay your bills on time. Lenders want to see consistency, so building a solid repayment history is essential.

Most homeowners repay their home loans in 25 to 30 years but there are several ways to become mortgage-free faster.

One of them is to switch from monthly to fortnightly repayments.

Paying half your monthly repayment every two weeks instead of your full payment once a month will result in an extra monthโ€™s payment each year. This is because some months have five weeks.

Using a hypothetical example of an $800,000 home loan with an interest rate of 6.40% (30-year loan term), the monthly repayment could be approximately $5,004. Over one year (12 payments) you could pay around $60,048.

If, however, you pay $2,502 every two weeks (26 payments) you could end up paying approximately $65,052 a year. This can make a significant difference.

$5,004 monthly:

* Total: $1,801,457
* Term: 30 years

$2,502 fortnightly:

* Total: $1,574,116
* Term: 24 years, 3 months

Based on this example, you could save more than $227,341 in interest and repay your mortgage five years and nine months earlier.

The right time to buy a home is when you are personally and financially ready to.

While interest rates and property prices are important considerations, they do not necessarily dictate the โ€˜bestโ€™ time to buy. For example:

* If home prices are high, you may choose to wait until they come down. But price falls do not always happen when you expect โ€“ if at all. Thus, it may be more expensive to buy later, especially if prices continue to rise.

* If interest rates are predicted to decrease significantly in the future, delaying your purchase could make it easier to afford a home. But rates can be unpredictable and may not drop as much, or as soon, as you anticipate.

* When interest rates and/or home prices fall, more buyers may enter the market. This could increase competition and potentially push prices up.

So, if you are ready to buy and find a home that you love, in a location you love, it may be wise to take the plunge, regardless of market conditions.

16/09/2024

If you have been paying off your mortgage for a few years and your homeโ€™s value has increased, you may be able to buy a second property without putting down a cash deposit.

The equity you have built in your property could serve as the deposit.

Equity is the portion of your home you own outright; it is the difference between the value of your property and the outstanding debt on your mortgage.

For example, if you bought a $1 million home and put down a 20% deposit ($200,000), your loan value would have been $800,000. Your โ€˜equityโ€™ was $200,000 in the form of your deposit.

Today, however, your property may be worth $1.1m and you may have reduced your loan balance to $650,000. Your equity will then be $450,000.

While lenders will generally not allow you to use all your equity, knowing how to build and use it to buy a second property can be a smart investment move.
