Lo-Doc Home Loans

January 19th 2007 00:15
If you've got a bad credit history, self-employed or casually employed and shopping for a mortgage, it is most likely that you've been offered a lo-doc home loan from any lender you've consulted. For some people, a lo-doc or no-doc home loan is the only option available to them. The distinct advantage of a lo-doc home loan is that you won't need to give your lender or mortgage broker as many documents to prove your income, assets and liabilities.

Typicallly, a lender will require you to produce payslips, tax returns or other proof of income in the process of applying for a home loan. This documentation is used by the lender to determine how much they predict you can afford to borrow. With a lo-doc home loan, you are usually just asked to state your income. This is known as self-verification. A lo-doc home loan may be a foot in the door for many would be investors, but there are a few catches which apply to the convenience of self-verification.

Gazumping

January 12th 2007 00:35
What is Gazumping?

Gazumping occurs when you have a verbal agreement with an agent or seller to buy a property at an agreed price; and you pay an ‘expression of interest’ deposit. At this point the property is not sold to you and there is no contractual obligation that legally binds you to the final ownership of the property. Gazumping usually happens when the vendor (the person selling the property) has decided to sell the property to someone else, usually for a higher amount.

Annerley, QLD

January 4th 2007 05:48
Annerley, one of Brisbane's earliest communities, prides itself on its historical significance and heritage. The quaint appeal of the suburb is reflected in its original Queenslanders and colonial homes. With many being in immaculate and restored condition it is a credit to the area that was once used as a thorough fare for bullock wagons to and from Ipswich City. Annerley's appeal also stems from its elevated position and close proximity to major public facilities such as The Princess Alexandra Hospital, The Mater Hospital and the Southeast busway. Other fantastic attractions in the vicinity include the Southbank Parklands, South Brisbane Convention Centre and the Gabba Cricket Ground.
