Costs of which you should be aware

House insurance

You’re required to have full replacement insurance on the property Anglican Financial Care holds a mortgage over. Anglican Financial Care should be shown to have a financial interest on the policy.

The payment of the insurance premiums is your responsibility. 

We recommend using a minimum figure of $3,000 per square metre to calculate the minimum replacement insurance amount. This is the current average cost per square metre to rebuild an average house. 

E.g. You intend to purchase a property with 124 square metres of living space. There is an additional 50 square metres of decks and garage space.

Total metreage = 174 square metres  x  $3,000 per sq/m = Suggested minimum replacement cover of $522,000.

You should review your replacement coverage regularly.

Rates

You’re required to keep up to date your rates payments on any property which is mortgaged to Anglican Financial Care. Your local authority can provide details of the rates.

Maintenance

You are required to keep all buildings and other improvements on the land covered by a loan held by Anglican Financial Care, in good repair and condition.

The costs of such a report are the responsibility of the borrower. Registered valuers can provide details of the costs involved.
