The smarter way to buy your first or next home
Not enough savings or equity to get a mortgage or trade up to your next home?
Mortgage Alternative can help you get on or up the property ladder with no debt, for a lower deposit and without mortgage insurance.
If you’ve started saving for a deposit for your first or next home, you know just how long it can take! But what if you could purchase your new home now, with as little as 4.5% up front including stamp duty and still avoid mortgage insurance?
With Mortgage Alternative, you can!
Mortgage Alternative, or ‘MA’ to us, is a safer, smarter way to buy a home. You buy your home with a contract of sale now, at a pre-agreed fixed price that you lock in today, but with a delayed settlement of up to ten years.
You can occupy the home immediately following the exchange of contracts. During the settlement period, you make monthly payments which cover your deposit instalments, rent, rates, agreed property maintenance and building insurance. Most importantly it includes a contribution to a savings account in your name to build equity. Excluding the savings component, the monthly payment is similiar to a mortgage repayment plus property ownership costs.
The key to MA is that the deferred settlement gives you time to build equity in the property and savings, which should enable you to avoid mortgage insurance when you eventually settle on the property, most likely with a conventional mortgage.
What’s more, if you’re a first home buyer, you can enjoy a grant of up to $55,000, embedded into a reduced purchase price on settlement – and it’s available on both new and existing homes.
Known as Assquire investors, these pre-approved sellers are specifically looking to sell their properties to MA buyers, as they are wishing to sell and lease their properties within a ten year period, to reap the benefits sooner. Their properties include new and established properties, as well as ‘off the plan’ homes from builders.
Assquire investors have a minimum 30% equity in their properties to safeguard and incubate credit worthy home buyers into their new or established home sooner.
