We sat down with Mary-Anne and asked her about her experiences, challenges and how she overcame them.
Background
My husband and I decided to relocate. We wanted to be near our children, particularly our grandchildren, who lived interstate. To make it work, we were selling two properties, our family home and an investment property, while also buying a new family home. The experience was challenging. It was a matter of being asset rich but cash poor, so we needed a simple loan, quickly, to help with the upfront costs of buying the new place while settling the sale of two others. We needed a lender who could offer us real care.
Our daughter helped us find a beautiful home that we agreed to bid on at auction, but it was prior to the settlement of the other properties. I needed help to pay the deposit on the new place if we succeeded at auction. I first approached our old lender with whom we banked for over 60 years and had two mortgages, but I they disappointed me. Our loyalty meant nothing. They acted as if I had nothing, despite being the majority owner of a townhouse in Melbourne and a holiday home on the NSW South Coast.
Challenges
- We needed a bridging loan, fast. Our story was very simple. We were asset rich but cash poor. We just needed help to cover the upfront deposit on our new home until our other properties settled
- We wanted to find a lender with a simple application process
- Moving interstate is challenging. We wanted to find a lender who could give us a real good loan, fast
“Getting the loan was straightforward. I was so happy with everything. It was so easy.”
