First Homebuyers Guide
So you’re planning to buy your first home – congratulations!
Think of how great it will feel when you collect the keys to your new home, walk in the front door and start planning where all your furniture will go. No more living under mum and dad’s roof and being bound by their rules, or living in a rented property.
Home ownership is a completely different feeling to living in rented accommodation, where at the end of every lease period your landlord can raise your rent or ask you to move out.
No longer will you watch your hard-earned rental payments paying off your landlord’s mortgage, while he/she enjoys the capital gains from the property’s increase in value over time. If you want to renovate or improve the property, you can – and the value gains will be yours.
But buying your home can be a scary experience for many reasons, and there are certainly pitfalls for unwary or inexperienced buyers.
API’s First Homebuyers Guide gives you the information you need to become a savvy and informed buyer, and helps you avoid the mistakes that can turn a great experience into a disaster. You’ll find chapters on:
- Taking the first step
- Organising finance
- How to choose the right area and suburb, and identify the best property to buy
- Building a home, if that’s the way you want to go
- Negotiating tips, including bidding at auctions
- Different methods of buying/selling – private treaty, auctions, etc.
- What happens on settlement day
- Government incentives for first homebuyers (including relevant websites)
- Two real-life case studies, where first homebuyers share their experiences
- The Government’s co-contribution scheme
- FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
