Dear All, In every property listing (including off-market), one truth remains:A seller in the market is, to some degree, a seller who needs to sell. The reasons vary — upgrading, downsizing, relocating, financial timing, or simply the desire to move on. But once a seller lists, the clock starts ticking. And this reality places buyers […]

Dear All, Property developers today are carrying more risk, facing tougher lending conditions, and seeing costs push profitability down to single-digit percentages. To add to this already overwhelming challenge, the market is shifting. Expectations are rising.Buyers, financiers, and government partners increasingly expect developers to contribute to real solutions — not just product.And if that’s not

Dear All, “I offer to buy this property with the AffordAssist Deferred Deposit Solution.” That single sentence is reshaping the way property is bought and sold. Across Australia, many buyers qualify for finance but can’t bridge the deposit gap. They’re ready to buy yet remain stuck with the same solutions, trapped in the same cycle

Dear All,   The Deposit Challenge Saving for a home deposit can take years. Lenders now offer high LVR (Loan-to-Value Ratio) loans — sometimes up to 105% — to help buyers enter the market sooner. While these higher LVR loans can open doors, they often come with greater long-term cost and risk. By comparison, pairing
