"Now is the perfect time to review your current financial arrangements with your lender and ask them to match the best loans available to you in the market" says Harry Pontikis, Head of Master Builders Financial Services and Director of Chocolate Home Loans.
The slowdown of the mortgage market has worked to make some banks review their lending policies to make them more reasonable for builders and the building industry. The same situation has caused other banks to tighten their lending policies to the point of being unreasonable with their requests. 'Sanity checking' your debt structure before starting every major project, or at least ensuring that your current lender is the one providing the most competitive terms can save you thousands in unnecessary fees and charges. Being aware of alternatives which are available to builders to fund projects can also make the difference between a good profit margin in a project, compared to a lucrative margin; Alternatives like using Line of Credit facilities, which are priced at home loan rates, compared to Commercial Overdrafts, which have double the interest rates plus prohibitive fees and charges. Understanding when you are eligible to use the various loan facilities is one of the most sought after and beneficial services Master Builders offers its members and is offered free of charge.
Master Builders runs workshops in Victoria called 'Building Your Business' which teaches business people the alternatives available to structure personal and business debt in the most profitable method – not to be structured in the way the bank would prefer.
