Planning your next move

Mortgage Advice for Robina Homeowners and Property Buyers

Buying your next property often involves more moving parts than your first home purchase.

You may have an existing mortgage, equity tied up in your current property or questions about how selling and buying will affect your borrowing capacity.

We help Robina borrowers explore these considerations, understand their lending options and prepare for the financial decisions ahead.

Buying and selling

Selling First or Buying First: What Should You Consider?

If you're upgrading your home, the timing of your sale and purchase can affect your finances, borrowing options and overall flexibility.

Option 1: Sell Before You Buy

Selling your current property first may give you a clearer understanding of how much money is available for your next purchase.

  • Greater certainty around available sale proceeds.
  • May reduce the need to manage two mortgages.
  • Could involve temporary accommodation or storage.
  • Timing your next purchase may become more challenging.

Option 2: Buy Before You Sell

Purchasing your next property before selling may provide flexibility with your move, but it can create additional financing considerations.

  • You may need to manage overlapping property costs.
  • Lenders will assess your ability to service the debt.
  • Bridging finance may be an option in some situations.
  • A delayed sale could increase interest and holding costs.

Neither approach is automatically better. The right decision depends on your circumstances, available equity, borrowing capacity and tolerance for financial risk.

Understanding your options

Could Your Existing Home Equity Help With Your Next Purchase?

If you already own a property, you may have built up equity through mortgage repayments or changes in property value.

Equity is generally the difference between a property's current value and the debt secured against it.

Depending on your circumstances and lender requirements, some of that equity may be available to support another property purchase or other approved borrowing purposes.

01

Review Your Current Mortgage

Understand your outstanding loan balance, current loan features and repayment commitments.

02

Understand Available Equity

A lender's property valuation and loan-to-value requirements help determine how much equity may be accessible.

03

Assess Borrowing Capacity

Available equity doesn't automatically mean you can borrow more. Income, expenses and existing commitments still matter.

04

Compare Suitable Loan Structures

Martin can help you explore potential lending arrangements and understand their costs and implications.

Finance for your next property

Is Bridging Finance an Option?

Bridging finance is a type of short-term lending that may help eligible borrowers purchase another property before selling their existing one.

It can be useful in certain circumstances, but it isn't suitable for everyone.

The costs, loan term, repayment requirements and risks of holding two properties need careful consideration.

Martin can help you understand whether bridging finance or another lending approach may suit your situation.

Self-Employed and Planning Your Next Property Purchase?

If you're self-employed, upgrading your home or refinancing can involve additional questions about how lenders assess your income.

Different lenders may consider business financial statements, tax returns and other income evidence differently.

We can help you understand the documentation that may be required and explore suitable lending options based on your circumstances.

Whether you're a sole trader, company director or business owner, getting advice early can help you prepare before applying for finance.

It may be possible, depending on your financial circumstances and lender requirements. Bridging finance or other lending arrangements may be worth considering.
