If you’ve been thinking of climbing the property ladder, now’s your chance!
We’ve assembled some fantastic finance and new home design tips to help you make the most of 2016.
To give yourself the best chance of a smooth and hassle-free finance journey, follow these 3 fantastic finance tips.
1. Know your borrowing power
This changes every time interest rates move up or down, so be sure to consult your broker regularly.
2. Prepare your deposit
Don’t get swept up by the excitement of new home designs before you’re prepared. Make sure you have ample savings to use as a deposit before making an offer on a property.
3. Stress test the finance
You want peace-of-mind that you can still afford your loan repayments in the event that interest rates go up. Use a higher interest rate (2% higher) than the rate your bank charges you to calculate the finance repayments you can afford.
With your finance lined up and favourite new home designs chosen, you can think about the biggest design trends to bring your home to life.
Texture
Expect to see a lot more texture introduced in new home design in 2016, particularly textured cabinetry.
Vintage
Not a fan of sleek kitchens? Designs that blend contemporary style with vintage flair are set to be warmly welcomed in the New Year.
Engineered materials
Don’t have the budget for marble benchtops? Engineered stone almost rivals the real thing, making it an attractive and practical choice for benchtops and splashbacks.
Sophisticated metallics
Traditional cooler metals like silver and stainless steel are being replaced or complemented with metallics like brass, gold and copper that add sophisticated warmth to any space.
Geometric patterns
Hexagonal-shaped wall and floor tiles are big, as is herringbone patterned tiling.
Comfortable furniture
High-end style will take a back seat (pardon the pun) to comfy, cosy fabrics such as wool and organic cottons teamed with plush pillows and cushions.
