The Foundations of Your Property Sale and Transfer

 

It has been a very interesting market over the last 3 years for Vendors who have sold their property, or are trying to sell. Many have unfortunately taken huge losses on the sale of properties when they purchased them at the height of the boom.

This has generally been caused due to the value of the property dropping significantly and the Vendors not being able to recoup any losses they have incurred. Also the current economic market globally has not helped.

The Banks also have not helped many who have suffered losses and forced some property owners to sell if they have fallen into arrears on their loan repayments. This has been seen in the number of mortgagee sales.

So how can you as a Property Owner salvage what you have in your Property Investment. It maybe that you need to take a look at your income and expenditure, and the actual cost of retaining your Property Investment. This would cover the costs of rates, insurance, mortgage repayments, property management fees, interest rates being charged by your Lender together with rental income return. You could sit down with your Financial Advisor and get some Professional advice on how you can make every dollars stretch the extra mile.

If it is in your best interest you could possibly renegotiate the terms and conditions of your Loan, but do be careful if you have a loan for a fixed period. Again you should discusss this with your Broker or Lender. If you repay prior to the fixed period expiring the Lender can charge you a break lock fee, and this should have been disclosed and discussed with you by your Solictor or Conveyancing Pracititioner.

I think that you will find if you sit down with your Broker or Lender and discuss or situation sooner rather than later they will look at other options which may help you in the short term until the market makes some form of recovery.

Unfortunately when the actual property market makes a recovery is anybody’s guess, so you need to take action to make sure you hold onto your Property Investment and Transfer.
