How is AffordAssist helping the Australian property market?

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.

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.
