Upsizing: Upgrading your home often comes with the desire for more space and improved amenities, whether due to a growing family, the need for a home office, or a desire for modern luxuries. It can also be driven by a change in lifestyle, such as seeking a larger backyard, proximity to better schools, or a move to a more desirable neighbourhood, ultimately enhancing your quality of life.
Downsizing: Downsizing is typically motivated by a desire to simplify life, reduce maintenance, and potentially free up financial resources for other pursuits, like travel or retirement. Empty nesters often choose to downsize as their children leave home, seeking a smaller, more manageable home that better suits their current needs and lifestyle, while potentially unlocking home equity.

Most lenders ask for 5% of the property value as a deposit is the general rule of thumb. However, it’s important you factor in purchase costs like stamp duty, conveyancing and potentially lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).
The bigger deposit you can save the better as it means we will be able to find you more options to choose from and overall it will make the approval process easier.

If you’re financially able to – then yes, definitely! This could be your start to an investment portfolio. We will look through your financials and evaluate your ability to make repayments on both loans, including any potential rental income your new investment property may be able to contribute to the repayment amounts.
While this is a slightly different scenario to buying your first home the same requirements exist when proving you can foot the bill.

Variable interest rates move up and down and normally relate to changes in official interest rates set by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). A variable rate loan is beneficial when rates are on the decline or you need flexibility in your home loan.
Fixed interest rates don’t move. You can set (fix!) your rate for a particular period of time, normally between one and five years, and is most beneficial when interest rates are on the rise or want certainty in repayments.
