Buying Tips

Leave The Rental Trap And Reap The Rewards


  There are numerous benefits to buying your own home:

- Owning your own house or unit ends the drain of "dead money" paid to your landlord. Home owners not only have an asset but an investment in residential property as well.

- Property investment compares favourably with all other ways of building wealth, both profits an stability.

- An investment in your family home is free from capital gains tax.

- Your home is a major asset which will pass to your children or other beneficiaries. You can also use it as security for future investments.

- You have security of tenure, rather than a temporary lease - you can stay as long as you wish.

- You have the freedom to shape your home to your own personal wishes, through decoration, renovation and landscape gardening.
