Upsizer: Are you an Upsizer?

Are you literally falling over each other at home, looking for some more grass for the kids to play and to fit that trampoline, wanting an extra bedroom and bathroom, and just generally needing some more space to breathe? We hear you! As life evolves, your home needs to evolve with you.

Are you picturing a beautiful open plan kitchen and lounge room, opening onto an alfresco BBQ area where you can see the kids playing cricket in the backyard or swimming in the pool with their friends? Or perhaps you are looking for that extra living space to hide from the kids!

At Education Home Loans we love helping young families take that next step from their first home, to potentially their “forever home”.

But where to start?

  • Do I even earn enough to buy something bigger?
  • What if I'm on maternity leave?
  • Do I need savings for a deposit or can I use the equity in my home....what even is "equity"
  • Do I sell or buy first, and what’s this thing called "bridging finance"
  • Can I keep my first home and convert it to an investment property to help generate future wealth, and still buy a new family home?

We can guide you through all of these questions so that you can focus on finding the property of your dreams that meets the needs of your growing family. And ‘Yes’’ you can buy a property whilst on maternity leave.
