Knowing Precisely How Much Can You Borrow Helps When Wanting To Get A Mortgage

By Aira Gayle


When purchasing a home in New Zealand, one can go to any one of the bank institutions that are in business to find out how much can you borrow from them. The first step would be to consult a financial adviser, particularly one that specializes in house mortgages and insurance. These advisers can not only give one advice on the best way to go about obtaining a mortgage, but they can assist one with the whole process.

If one is a first time buyer, it is important to know all the avenues that one can take to obtain a deposit. Some banks request a deposit for a mortgage of 5% of the asking price. Other banks require a deposit of 20% before they will approve a home loan.

You will need to find out what kind of interest you would pay on your mortgage. Finding out if the interest would fluctuate or would it be fixed is also important. Many of these decisions would need to be taken and most people are afraid to take it because in the long run it could entail cost.

To become knowledgeable of the home loan options and the best way to go about it, one would seek advice. The best advice would be given by the specialist mortgage and insurance advisers who can assist one to make informed decisions that will be beneficial and cost efficient in the long run. One would not need to even pay a fee for their services because they obtain commission from property and banking institutions, and they will assist the buyer at each step of the way until one holds the keys of one's house in one's hands.

One can request a structured long term loan that will assist with the deposit. One can even visit a bank that doesn't require a 20% deposit. There is even a facility where a person can obtain a gift deposit from a third party such as one's parents.

This is not the only way that these insurance and mortgage advisers can assist. They can assist the person who is self-employed and doesn't have a monthly salary slip to prove one's income. As an example, if one steps into the bank without a salary slip, the consultant may automatically deny a home loan.

There are other options that one may not be aware of. There are loans that are granted that have a low documentation requirement. If one has been self-employed for more than two years and has a clear credit record, one can obtain a home loan without a problem.

As a retired person, one can obtain a reverse mortgage on a paid up home. The applicant would need to be over the age of 60 years old. The money would help the retired person to live out his or her days in ease and comfort and it would only be repayable upon death or when one enters a home on a long term basis. The first step is always to contact a financial mortgage and insurance adviser to find out how much can you borrow and how to go about the process.
