01Be clear about the property's purpose
Tell us whether it will be your home, a weekender or an investment, and whether that use may change. Keep personal use separate from any expected rent so the discussion starts with clear assumptions rather than treating future income as certain.
02Bring an ownership-cost checklist
Note the insurance, rates, maintenance and any owners corporation costs you have checked. Mark the items still needing an estimate or property-specific advice. These costs belong beside the loan repayment when you picture life after settlement.
03Explain what happens to your current home
If you are moving from Melbourne or retaining another property, bring the existing loan details and your preferred sale or rental timing. We can identify the lending questions and the separate tax advice needed before changing how the properties are used.
