The National Credit Code (NCC) regulates all consumer lending, including new loans for residential investment property by non-corporate borrowers (individuals). The law applies to all continuing loans that were entered into prior to1 July 2010. This means any new investment property purchases must comply with the National Credit Code regulations to ensure fair protection for consumers.
Toggle When you own property that is not your principal place of residence, you may be liable to pay land tax. Land tax is about 1.7% of any land value above the threshold. This changes from year to year. It is important to remember this valuation does not include the house or unit itself, just the value of the land.
Most persons in long term relationships (married or de facto) buy property as “joint tenants”. This means if one joint tenant dies, the other automatically becomes the owner of the property. When investors buy property, they can choose to purchase as “tenants in common”. This means the interest in the property of the deceased party passes according to their will, not automatically to any other tenant in common. Tenants in common can hold unequal shares and either one can sell their respective share, when they want and to whoever they wish. At Burgess Thomson we can discuss both options with you to help you make an informed decision about your property interests.
