DESLIE CHAT with Mortgage Choice Ormeau

Ormeau

It’s getting close to the silly season, and right about now we find ourselves staring blankly dreaming of our “Perfect Holiday”.

Why not just do it, surprise the kids and organise the dog sitter?

There are many options – finance wise, including using the equity in your home, or looking at personal loan options. However, there are some things we need to consider before you start packing your togs.

ORMEAU

• How much are we comfortable repaying for this holiday?

• How long do we want to be paying it off for?

• Do we have equity in our prop erty if we decide to increase our home loan to do this?

• Would we like to tidy up our other finances (existing personal loans, car loans etc) at the same time?

• Fiji or the Maldives?

ORMEAU LEGAL: FROM THE CONVEYANCING CHAIR

LEGAL PTY LTD

At Ormeau Legal we will look over your REIQ contract free of charge prior to you signing. It is important to protect your rights.

A house with a pool?

So, you have put an offer in to purchase your new home and it has a sparkling pool. Congratulations.

What should your contract need to say about that? Is the contract subject to a pool safety certificate? If not, it definitely should. It is always good practice to add into the contract that the pool is to be left clean and tidy and in working condition. You might be surprised at the number of pools that receive a good dose of chlorine

the day before settlement, but the pool pump and filter are not working properly. A local pool retailer will be able to check the pool pump and whilst the costs vary between pool retailers the small amount of outlay is well worth it. If there is an issue with the pool pump and or filter we will be able to negotiate a reduced purchase price or that the seller rectifies the issues.

you add into your contract things like Dishwashers, garage remotes, air conditioner remotes, TV antenna to name just a few. It might seem obvious that these items are included with the house but in our experience, it is not best practice to assume that they are. Before signing the contract we invite you to email us a copy so that we can take a look and suggest any amendments prior to signing.

Included chattels.

What does included chattels mean exactly? Think about turning the house upside down and giving it a good shake. Whatever falls out is not an included chattel. Ensure that
