What is a finance clause when buying a house?

Two buyers, same home, and the bank declined both. Buyer A had a finance clause in the contract and got the $70,000 deposit back. Buyer B signed without one, and the deposit got stuck. A finance clause (subject to finance) lets you end the contract if your loan isn't approved by a set date, as long as you meet its conditions, like giving the vendor notice and proof such as a decline letter. It isn't standard in every state, and a cooling-off period is not the same thing. Ask your conveyancer to check it before you sign.

What costs come with owning a home that renters don't pay?

At the Diwali party: "I bought a house. My mortgage is about the same as my old rent, so I'm sorted." Uncle had a list. Council rates every quarter. Water rates. Building insurance. Body corporate fees if it's a townhouse or unit. And the plumber when the roof leaks. When you rent, the landlord pays these, so you never see them. When you buy, they're all yours. Add them on top of the mortgage before you compare it with your rent.

Can I use my Diwali shagun money as a home loan deposit?

Often yes, but how the bank sees it matters. If your deposit is small, many lenders want genuine savings, usually 5% of the purchase price that you've held or built up over at least 3 months. Gift money, including money from family in India, usually needs a gift letter, and only some lenders will accept a gift in place of genuine savings. Check which lenders accept your situation before you apply, because every application leaves an enquiry on your credit file. Happy Diwali.

How do I check my credit report for free in Australia?

You can check it for free every 3 months, and you actually have three of them: Experian, illion and Equifax. Most people never look until they apply for a home loan, and that's when an unknown loan, a default or a wrong detail shows up. Check six things: your personal details, credit accounts, enquiries, repayment history, defaults and court orders, and your score band. Defaults usually stay on your file for 5 years, so get anything incorrect fixed before a lender sees it.

How much less can I borrow after the November 2026 RBA rate hike?

I ran a couple on $150,000 household income, no kids and no debts, through 15 lenders after Tuesday’s 0.25% rise. At most lenders their borrowing power dropped by around $15,000, and at one it dropped by almost $18,000. Nothing about them changed, only the rate. That happens because lenders assess you at the rate plus a buffer, so when the rate goes up, what they think you can afford comes down. If you got pre approved before 3 November, check whether that figure still holds before you bid.

How much more are Australians paying on their mortgage after 5 rate hikes in 2026?

Today’s 0.25% rise on 3 November is the fifth this year. Stack them together and a $600,000 loan is now about $456 a month more than it was in February. That’s roughly $5,500 a year coming out of the same household budget. The table shows the figure for your loan size, and the “this hike” column shows what today alone adds.

How much will the RBA rate hike on 3 November 2026 add to my mortgage repayments?

The RBA raised the cash rate by 0.25% today, 3 November 2026, the fifth rise this year. If your lender passes it on in full, your minimum repayment goes up, and the reel shows by how much. Lenders usually take one to two weeks to move, so watch for your bank’s email with the date it kicks in. If you’re on a fixed rate, nothing changes until your fixed term ends, but now is a good time to look at what you’ll roll onto.

Do I need home insurance before settlement, or from the day I sign?
Most people assume cover starts on settlement day. It depends on your contract of sale, and in some states the standard contract puts the risk on the buyer well before you get the keys. Read the clause, then ask your conveyancer to confirm the exact date you are on the hook. Separately, your lender will not release funds without a certificate of currency showing their interest noted, so the policy needs to be organised before settlement either way.

Should you buy an established house or build new?
Deposit, timeline, stamp duty, progress payments, rent while you build, grants. The maths lands differently depending on which one you pick.

Part two. The $60,000 GST clause that almost cost my client everything.
After days of back and forth with the conveyancer, we confirmed the GST didn't apply. The client didn't pay a cent extra. It cost us three sleepless nights to get there, time that a fifteen minute contract review before signing would have saved entirely.
