Entering the property market without a solid financial plan can lead to costly mistakes. Here’s why knowing your limits can set you up for success in the long term. 🏠💡

A clear financial plan is key to navigating the property market with confidence, especially when auctions are involved. Knowing your limits helps prevent panic buying and ensures you stay on track for long-term success.

The same approach applies to your house and contents insurance—exploring special rates for existing policyholders can save you money. 📄✨

When it comes to financing your home, a common guideline is to keep your mortgage costs under one-third of your income. Whether you opt for a low-interest loan or prefer the flexibility of an offset account, make sure to read the fine print carefully. Hidden restrictions could affect your future plans.

And while it’s easier said than done, each of these requirements will take time and energy to carry out. But it’s worth remembering that your efforts will be rewarded many times over in terms of self-satisfaction, presentation and many happy returns.

Buying a home in Tauranga isn't just a transaction; it's a chapter in your story.
Buying a home is a major decision, and it's crucial to figure out your must-haves before diving into the process.

Before hitting up the websites, jot down your deal-breakers:
* Pick your preferred suburbs.
* Consider the vibe of neighbouring areas.
* Think about local schools.
* Check out the proximity to shops, sports, cafes, and restaurants.
* List your dream home features.
* Decide on the importance of a garden or balcony.
* Determine the number of bedrooms you need.
* Consider if a garage is a necessity.
* Ensure your wishlist aligns with your budget.

Now, let's talk money:

Deposit:
Decide how much upfront cash you're comfortable putting down to secure your dream home. Generally, a larger deposit increases your chances of getting a loan, but it depends on your lender and financial situation.
First-time buyers might qualify for government assistance.

Other Costs:
While property inspection reports aren't mandatory, it's wise to get one to uncover potential hidden costs. Choose an inspector with professional indemnity insurance who follows the New Zealand Property Inspection Standards.

Once you've sealed the deal on your new home, take a breather—you've earned it!

Together, let's turn the key to a future filled with endless possibilities! 🌟🔑

Cheers to your new home! 🏡
