A GREAT PLACE

Under Construction

SELLING FAST

TO DO AS MUCH - OR AS LITTLE - AS YOU LIKE. If you’ve never experienced what it’s like to own a brand new home, you probably didn’t think it would happen when you retired. Think again. At Pearl Retirement Resort, we’re building brand new, terrace villas at a price you will love. Add to this, access to the first-class facilities at Pearl’s Leisure Centre. This is a great place to do as much - or as little - as you like. Take a dip in the pool, get the blood pumping in the cardio gym, challenge your mates to a game of pool, enjoy a BBQ on the terrace or just sit and contemplate life with a quiet drink. Plus, there’s the security of being amongst people of a similar age, within a truly caring community.

With the RBA keeping the official cash rate at its record low of just 2.25 per cent, lenders are competing to win your business and borrowers are in a strong position. While refinancing might sound daunting it doesn’t have to be, so here are some key things to know.

What is refinancing? Refinancing involves replacing your home loan with a new mortgage that (ideally!) gives you a better deal, whether through a lower interest rate or different loan features that you want. Your original loan is paid out by your new one, and the balance transferred.

What’s involved in refinancing? When you refinance you’re applying for a new loan, so you need to go through a similar process to when you got your first mortgage. Application, approval and settlement are all involved in refinancing.

What do I need to do before refinancing? • Know what you’re getting: Make sure you know your current interest rate, what you still owe on your loan, your property’s value, what loan features you need, and any fees such as mortgage discharge or exit fees (if they apply). • Prepare for valuation: Your new lender will want to value your property so ensure it is as well presented as it can be. • Paperwork: You’ll need to have ready proof of income, outgoings, etc so gather up your pay statements, bank statements, credit card statements, tax certificates, proof of ID etc as these will all be needed if you go ahead. • It takes time: While every lender is different, it can take some time to discharge a mortgage. Just make sure you allow ample time for the process to be completed by both your current and new lender.

While refinancing is intended to save you money, there can be some costs to refinancing so make sure you do your sums to work out whether you’ll be better off in the long term. The best part about refinancing is that you don’t have to do it alone. A mortgage broker can manage the process for you, from comparing other lenders and loans to explaining the costs and completing all the paperwork.

2015 VISUALIZE THIS – WAVES GENTLY LAPPING THE SHORES OF MINDIL BEACH, SPECTACULAR SUNSET, COOL DRY SEASON BREEZE AS A PERFECT BACKDROP FOR AN IMPRESSIVE INDIA@MINDIL EVENT ON 20TH JUNE, 2015. Huge crowds estimated over 12000 began making their way to Mindil as early as 4pm to grab the best vantage point to soak up the magic of the annual dry season Indian festival. Roti making, sari sashaying and henna art provided many revellers hands on activities while others quickly grabbed delicious Indian curries from authentic Indian food stalls to sit back and enjoy hours of bollywood dancing, music, classical Odissi dance by international artistes from India. Publicity and Sponsorship Coordinator for the event, Jaya Srinivas said “sponsorships for the event surpassed all expectations this year.” “This event could not have been a success without the support of corporate sponsors”, she said. “Local talent along with the international artistes took this year’s event to a whole new level”, said Ms Srinivas. “We sincerely thank Dreamedia, KT Auto, Carbonrib, Tiwi Supermarket, John Anictomatis and MIX 104.9 for their incredible support along with Bridge Toyota, CDU, Cairns Industries, PTM Group and LR Consulting Engineers who were the major corporate sponsors this year”.

Bio Peeling Treatment can offer you a brighter complexion ... in no time! THE CLINICAL PROCEDURE Minimum 4 treatments, 1 per week recommended.

EXIT THE RENTAL ROUNDABOUT ELDERS HOME LOANS BY MI CHELLE DRYBU R GH Hands up who’s tired of paying someone else’s mortgage. Feeling like you’re stuck on the rental roundabout and the great Australian dream of owning your own home is out of reach? Then you might be surprised to learn many customers of Elders Home Loans thought the same thing, until they discovered buying a home could be more affordable than renting. “For those currently paying $500 to $600 a week in rent, it can be easily achievable to purchase a property instead,” says Katrina Parrington, Principal of Elders Home Loans Darwin, Palmerston and Alice Springs. With interest rates at record lows, Elders Home Loans is securing finance as low as 3.79% in some cases, allowing more people to get into their own homes sooner. With interest rates predicted to remain low for at least the rest of this year, Katrina says there’s never been a better time to enter the property market. And even if you’re not sure if you’ll be eligible, it’s a great time to ask. “Quite a few first home buyers come to us to find out what they need to do to get a home loan,” says Katrina. “Getting pre-approved for finance before putting in an offer gives you more leverage with the agent, and we take people through every step of that

process, considering all of the variables and explaining all of the professionals they will need to assist along the way.” Elders Home Loans goes beyond negotiating the best offers on finance to consider all aspects of a client’s financial wellness, and loan security is one feature Katrina says no client can afford to go without. While most of us would prefer not to think of the worst, Katrina takes a nononsense, honest approach to dealing with the financial implication of serious illness, injury and even death. “A lot of people ask ‘what do I need this for’, and the answer is always the same - how will you afford to pay your loan if something unexpected should happen? “I’ve seen it happen at least half a dozen times, where a client has been left unable to work due to a health issue or disability, and without mortgage protection they would have lost their home. “The difference between banks and us is we do have your best interests at heart. We will fight hard to get you the best possible outcome, and as part of the Elders Home Loans family, not just leave you to work it out on your own.” To find out how Elders Home Loans can help you, call Katrina and the Team on 1300 LENDING
