Great to see the REA Group and #realestate.com.au recognising the value and importance of #iCIRT, and how it is helping Australians make informed and #confident decisions around their next #property purchase. The iCIRT #register recognises #trustworthy building professionals that have progressed through an #independent and rigorous review of their business, demonstrating their #capability and capacity to #reliably deliver, providing peace-of-mind and confidence for #consumers. More Australians are now actively seeking out iCIRT-rated #builders, #developers and #consultants because they know it’s a reliable indicator of trust and stability. #Buyers #Investors #RealEstate #PropertyDevelopment  #iCIRT #Ratings #BuildMarketConfidence #IndependentInspections #LDI #Trust Equifax Australia, Yash Dhillon,MBA, Joseph Revoltar, Zoran Terzic, Adam Clarke, Paul Nissen, CFA, Chandni Dewan, Lyma Frangie-Stickland, Tarnya Baohm https://lnkd.in/gd2KxnF8

NatWest becomes latest lender to increase mortgage ratesNatWest has just told brokers it will also be increasing mortgage rates tomorrow, the Money blog can reveal following on from HSBC's announcement (see 12.05pm post). New customers will see hikes of between 0.10 and 0.15 percentage points while for existing customers it's between 0.15 and 0.20. These are on two and five-year fixed deals. Speaking to Newspage, Justin Moy, managing director at EHF Mortgages, said: "Today, yet another major high street lender has pushed rates further out of reach of borrowers.  "NatWest may be following the rest of the mainstream lenders but the collective reaction from lenders to higher swap rates will inevitably kill off all those improvements everyone worked hard for in January this year.  "Right now, it feels like 2023 is happening all over again. Someone has pressed the mortgage rewind button." Santander, Coventry and TSB have all raised rates this week - though today Halifax went against the grain and announced some cuts from Friday. It's not clear by how much. As discussed earlier, swap rates - which dictate how much it costs to offer mortgages - have been creeping up, and lenders are passing this on. There is a feeling markets may have got carried away with expectations of an early base rate cut this year - leading mortgage rates to fall. What seems to be happening now is a readjustment, with forecasts for a base rate cut having shifted back from May to June. https://lnkd.in/eJpiYfsw

🏢 Understanding RERA: Empowering Homebuyers in Real Estate Transactions 🏢 Have you heard of RERA and wondered what it means for you as a homebuyer or real estate investor? RERA, or the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, is a landmark legislation aimed at bringing transparency, accountability, and efficiency to the real estate sector. 🔍 What is RERA? RERA was enacted to regulate the real estate industry and protect the interests of homebuyers. It requires developers to register their projects with the authority, provide accurate information about the project, adhere to strict timelines, and maintain a certain level of transparency throughout the entire transaction process. 🔒 Key Benefits of RERA for Homebuyers: Transparency: RERA mandates developers to disclose all relevant project details, including approvals, floor plans, and timelines, ensuring buyers have access to accurate information before making a purchase. Accountability: Developers are required to deposit a percentage of project funds into a separate escrow account, ensuring that funds are utilized for the specific project and reducing the risk of project delays or financial mismanagement. Quality Assurance: RERA sets standards for construction quality and project completion, providing homebuyers with assurance regarding the quality of their investment and protecting them from substandard construction practices. Dispute Resolution: The establishment of Real Estate Regulatory Authorities in each state facilitates the resolution of disputes between developers and buyers through a transparent and efficient process, minimizing delays and legal complications. Consumer Protection: RERA safeguards the rights of homebuyers by providing avenues for complaint redressal and imposing penalties on developers for non-compliance, thereby instilling confidence in the real estate market. 📝 What You Need to Know: As a homebuyer or investor, it's crucial to familiarize yourself with the provisions of RERA and ensure that any property you're considering purchasing is RERA-compliant. Look for RERA registration numbers and verify project details on the official RERA website to make informed decisions and protect your interests. In conclusion, RERA represents a significant step towards creating a more transparent and accountable real estate sector, empowering homebuyers and investors to make confident decisions and contributing to the overall growth and stability of the real estate market. #RERA #RealEstateRegulation #Homebuying #Investing #ConsumerProtection #Indorerealestate
