Summary

  • AffordAssist’s financing solution substitutes conventional cash deposits for proprietary DDA agreement. 
  • The role of AffordAssist’s program becomes significant, given the growing challenge for the first home buyers to arrange initial property deposits. 
  • The Company’s holistic program also works well for property owners, real estate agents, and brokers. 

AffordAssist has emerged as one of the robust property platforms, thanks to its unique property deposit and loan-deposit solution for buyers, which obviates the need for the typical 10%, 20%, or 30% cash deposit. 

The proprietary Deferred Deposit Agreement (DDA) proves to be a trump card for the Company’s offering, with buyers able to use it for all or part of the deposit. What’s more, there is no interest payment.

AffordAssist’s solution is a right fit for the Australian property market

The Australian real estate scenario is attracting attention worldwide as the record-high prices of even rundown properties continue to astound investors and buyers. The buoyant property price trend in the Land Down Under has been mainly catalysed by its robust infrastructure, a broad spectrum of education and job opportunities, and higher living standards. 

Nevertheless, not all is peaches and cream in Australia’s property setting, especially when the soaring property price has dashed the hopes of first-home buyers. Meanwhile, Aussie buyers face one of the biggest challenges in arranging initial deposits while the rent burden weighs heavy on them.

How AffordAssist helps Property Sellers and Lenders

AffordAssist also collaborates with several sellers, real estate agents, and developers, who tend to benefit from the Company’s growing pool of potential buyers. It can be significantly helpful for stakeholders who are struggling with their existing sales. 

Notably, the sale settlement might be at risk of crashing because of an undervaluation. At this point, AffordAssist can come to the rescue by providing the proprietary Deferred Deposit Agreement (DDA) between the Seller and the buyer, thereby managing the shortfall.
