Stamp duty is a tax that we pay when we buy a house and is payable when the home contract becomes unconditional. The stamp duty amount that you are required to pay is different in each Australian State. Note that stamp duty is an overhead fee and cannot be included in your home loan (stamp duty is not included in the Loan-To-Value Ratio calculation). Call our Home Loan Specialists on 1300 665 906 today to learn more about home loans as well as applicable stamp duties, fees, charges and concessions in your area.

Refinancing is available to any property loan product pending terms and conditions. Considering a refinance each year gives you a clear indication as to where you can be saving money- whether it’s a lower interest rate, through a cashback offer, or a product with lower fees. Being open to all options your Lending Specialist will discuss is crucial for the investment property refinancing process. Options tailored to your profile mean that you are getting the most competitive products supplied to you upon review.

Rental income helps to strengthen a clients application by injecting surplus income on the profile. For example, if a joint application is made for an investment property; both applicants incomes will be included in addition to the calculated or current rental income figure. EG: Having 3 contributing sources of income on an application provides for a lower risk application.

Several genuine tax deductions can be made for an investment property. These can include maintenance costs (upkeep of the dwelling, gardening, plumbing etc.), any property agent fees, and land taxes. We have partners that can assist in discussing what you can and can’t claim. Just ask one of our friendly Lending Specialists to find out more.

The general rule for a property loan deposit is between 20-30% of the purchase price as a minimum. The higher the deposit, the lower the risk is for the lender to offer the loan product. Speaking to your Lending Specialist will give you a clear indication of how much deposit will be required to propose an offer for the investment property.
