I wonder if someone can help with this.
I have reached my serviceability level with STGEORGE.
I called them up and discussed the possibility of selling a
property to finance the construction of another.
The problems I came across is this
The moment I sell the property the bank's security decreases so they
want my loans reduced to 80% of the value of the remaining properties.
So they send the valuers out and determine what 80% is
and I give them some money back and reduce my loans.
Now I want to demolish one of the remaining houses and build
and I ask for the bank's approval. Again they send the valuer out
to determine the value of the land this time and again I am ask to
reduce my loans even further.
These reductions are very annoying because I am spending money that
I wanted to keep aside for a rainy day or to use as a deposit for my next IP.
The lending officer I talked to said they won't accept the construction
money as security and they want a term deposit instead.
They also want me to pay the builder direct with leftover money from the
sale.
Has anyone been in the same situation before and if so
how did you work around it?
Thank you in advance.
