Display Homes

Getting finance for a display home is not always easy. Most lenders won’t let you take a home loan on a display home or accept display homes as security for a loan. But it is possible to finance this unique type of property – let finweb show you how.

Why invest in a display home?

Display homes are the finest customised examples of what’s possible for potential buyers. The idea behind a display home is to fill it with top-end features to entice homeowners with a block of land to invest in the best of the best.

What many people don’t realise is that a display home can be an attractive investment in itself.

Here’s why:

  • Display homes are often a more affordable investment than other types of properties.
  • builders usually want to sell fast so they can invest in other projects.
  • Builders put more effort into making sure the display homes are the best example of what they can do.
  • High-end materials and finishes are included.
  • Buying a display home is less stressful and faster than building a similar new home.

The problem with financing a display home

The biggest challenge is that many display homes are bought under a leaseback arrangement. This is where you buy a home and lease it back to the builder while it’s used for display. At the end of the leaseback arrangement (usually no longer than 24 months), you can use the home as your residence or continue as a landlord for other tenants.

However, some lenders won’t finance a display home until the leaseback period with the builder has ended and the home is available to new tenants. Others won’t touch it at all.

Don’t miss out on a valuable investment.

The number of options might be limited for display homes, but they do exist. Talk to finweb about the finance options available. We can help you understand the criteria lenders will look at and work out whether a display home is the right investment for you.

Deposit Bonds

Don’t have access to the 10% cash deposit to secure your property or land purchase?

You’re not alone.

A growing number of Australian homebuyers are in the same frustrating spot. Here are some common scenarios:

  • First Home Buyers who simply don’t have enough cash sitting in the bank for the deposit.
  • Buying & Selling at the same time: You’ve fallen in love with a new home and need to put a deposit down to make sure it’s yours. But you won’t have access to the cash until the sale of your current property has settled, which could be months away.
  • Downsizing: Chances are your cash is all tied up in your property and assets. Maybe your current home isn’t on the market yet.
  • Purchasing Investment Property: You want to take advantage of a great property investment opportunity, but your cash is tied up in other properties.

Sound familiar?

A deposit bond could be the solution you’re looking for.

What is a deposit bond?

A deposit bond is used in place of the cash deposit required between signing the contract of sale and settlement.

Think of a deposit bond as an IOU for the deposit amount you need to secure your property. 

Here’s how it works:

  • A deposit bond guarantees up to 10% of the purchase price.
  • A deposit bond guarantees your commitment to an unconditional contract of sale, just like a cash deposit.
  • At settlement, you simply pay the full purchase price, including the deposit amount and any other costs, like stamp duty.
  • You pay NO interest – the only money exchanging hands is the deposit bond fee, which you pay to the deposit bond provider upfront.
