Episode notes
Get Bank Valuations First
- Get a bank valuation via your mortgage broker rather than relying on real estate agents during a separation buyout.
- Confirm borrowing capacity first so you don't waste legal fees if you cannot afford the buyout.
Use A Lawyer To Finalise The Buyout
- In an amicable separation, use lawyers to formalise the buyout and preserve stamp duty concessions.
- Only finalise transfers once you have legal orders so you avoid unexpected stamp duty or title issues.
Confirm Borrowing Capacity First
- Verify whether you can service the buyout loan before agreeing a price or spending on lawyers.
- Ask your mortgage broker to model affordability and whether the other party can use proceeds to re-enter the market.
