When older retired people buy a new property, before selling their existing property, is it easy to get a loan for the period between purchasing the new property and selling their old? My mother in law may require a loan, her situation is as follows: - buying a block of land to build a new ppor, vacant land price $700k - current ppor carnegie (melb), no mortgage est 1.2 -1.5m - retired, no payg - fairly good super (not sure exact amount but prob 2.5m+) She will be selling her ppor, but not sure when, may or may not be before settlement on the vacant land. She would like to make an offer on the land, its a private sale, and wondering if she does need finance, would it be difficult for her to get as she is retired? Or would a bridging loan be fairly easy for her? She will be talking with a broker, its just this property and its purchase has all happened very quickly so hasn't had a chance to yet. Would a subject to finance clause be required in her situation? Don't want to ask for one if don't have too. Thanks
I couldn't when I bought a house for cash, before my then home, mortgage free, was sold 4 years ago. Westpac at the time was advertising loans for oldies, I rang them and had a heated argument with the bank about these loans, turns out you had to be employed - shortly after that the ads stopped.
Nodoc loan under the 62 day rule of NCCP. Interest would need to be capitalised and fees limited to 5% of the Gross loan. Fairly straight forward deal, approved 2 this week for clients in similar circumstances.
