Using equity to increase the value of your property? Focus on these things

Vincent Turner

Not all upgrades to your home will add value, some will add more than others. Consider this if using your equity to improve your home

Transcript

So if you're thinking about investing to improve the value of your property, there are some things that you probably want to knock off first. The main things that tend to improve the value of properties are things like painting, outdoor settings, adding an extra room, and remodeling a kitchen. These things that are massively, visually appealing, but also actually include the utility of the home will potentially increase the amount of rent you're going to get for it, and the kind of ticket items that you want to be thinking about first if taking some of your cash out of equity to use to improve the value of your home.

100% Rockstar. We found Paul and Uno Home Loans from recommendations from people who had used his services. We know understand why he comes so highly recommended. We definitely put Paul and his team under pressure due to an oversight our end which meant that he had to don his superman cape and work miracles for us. We didn't appreciate the very very short window we created for ourselves (think less than two weeks for settlement). Paul was able to wave his magic wand, come up with multiple solutions to our situation and make it all happen seamlessly. It goes without saying then, without reservation that we recommend Paul and his team as our trusted mortgage advisor! Thanks again Paul. *****The limoncello is on route we promise :)

Our entire process with Uno went very well. We had a unique set of requirements for our loan and our super friendly broker Mike Parsons managed to secure us the perfect outcome. Mike also worked above and beyond our expectations to make sure the whole process of completing the documentation of switching banks went smoothly.

The service recieved from Paul was fantastic. He made the whole process stress free & easy. We started the process from NZ & Paul had everything ready for approval as soon as we landed in Aus. I would highly recommend Paul if you require a mortgage. You won't be dissapointed.

Paul and Dalby were incredible to deal with, from the first interaction with Paul a few months prior, to getting approval to purchase, through to the last minute helping us with the final settlement details. Their communication was second to none and they truly went the extra mile. Paul managed to get us more borrowing power than dealing with the bank directly. I couldn't recommend Paul and his team enough. Paul and Dalby, thank you so much for putting hours and hours of work into our application. We really appreciate it!
