📝 Bank of Mum and Dad: why a formal agreement makes sense 📝⁣
⁣
One-in-five first home buyers rely on the support of parents or family. ⁣
⁣
Yet more than 6-in-10 of these buyers have no written agreement in place, according to Money.com.au’s latest research.⁣
⁣
This can potentially delay home loan approval. ⏳⁣
⁣
That’s because lenders want to know if the financial support is a cash gift or a loan. 🤔⁣
⁣
Bottom line, talk to us to know how to structure the support of well-meaning family members. 👇⁣

🏡 Why the time may be right for first home buyers 🏡⁣
⁣
More choice, less competition and easing prices.⁣
⁣
With many investors currently hesitant to purchase due to major tax reforms to negative gearing and capital gains tax, that's resulted in less competition for first home buyers. 👍⁣
⁣
Even better, there are numerous first home buyer government schemes and support to tap into. 🙌⁣
⁣
All in all, it really is shaping up as a first home buyers’ market.⁣

🏠 Could your home be a (negatively geared) investment property? 🏠⁣
⁣
The new negative gearing rules that take effect from mid-2027 only apply to properties purchased after 12 May 2026. 📅⁣
⁣
So your current home could potentially be eligible for negative gearing in the future as an investment property. 💡⁣
⁣
It’s a strategy that calls for careful planning and a chat with your accountant and/or financial adviser. 🧾⁣
⁣
Contact us to understand your financing options for both properties. 👇⁣
