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.

Fantastic service and great outcome. I have used Scott Wilkinson twice (initial finance and a subsequent refinance) and have found him to be responsive, reliable and knowledgeable - secured me a circa 1% rate reduction with minimal work involved from my end. Highly recommend.

What a smooth, hassle free and stress free refinance with Jake. He took a very complicated loan from one bank to the other and not only saved us a lot of money but we basically also didn’t have to lift a finger in the entire process (apart from the basic paperwork needed). I am extremely impressed with Jakes knowledge and how he was able to answer questions and explain complications. Thank you Jake and the entire staff at UNO :)

PROFESSIONALISM PLUS Jake was very helpful in helping us achieve our dream. He is a very professional and informative person who goes out of his way to help his clients through a stressful time whilst making the whole process seamless. On top of this he can also help get better Insurances and is happy to assist where he can. We would absolutely recommend choosing Jake to help you! Thanks for everything it was a pleasure dealing with you.

My dealings with Scott Wilkinson at UNO, have been nothing short of exemplary. My refinance involved a bunch of moving parts due to a business debt, and Scott didn't stop until we got an excellent result! Great communication, easy online portals for data collection and, from all accounts, a great team working together to get results for their clients. I really can't thank Scott enough, for going the extra mile(s) to make this happen for me. 10/10 would recommend his services to anyone looking at a restructure, and I won't hesitate to reach out again, should I be in the position in the future.

The UNO Home Loans team provided a great experience. I'm an expat Aussie living in the UK who was looking for an investment property back home in Australia. Mike and the team guided me through the whole process from giving me an initial indication of how much I could borrow, to finding me a lender with an appropriate loan that met my needs, and finally through the settlement process with the bank. The team were always available to answer my questions very promptly. The whole experience was very easy and hassle free.
