Married in India, Muhu moved to Australia in 2008 and his wife Harini followed six years later. Employed as a factory worker and a dental assistant respectively, the couple were renting an apartment in Westmead when they started researching their options on how they could buy their first home in the future. But with limited savings at the time, they weren’t planning to buy for a long time. While online, Muhu came across the AffordAssist website and did not hesitate to call, curious to learn more about the program.

AffordAssist assessed Muhu & Harini’s financial position and helped them understand their budget. With a budget of $530,000, AffordAssist arranged inspections of apartments that met their lifestyle needs and were in their Buying Range. Next, AffordAssist’s solicitors arranged an agreement with both parties – Muhu/Harini and The Seller – where the deposit of $5,000 was transferred into a trust account, and the balance of the deposit would be repayed in five years. Finally, AffordAssist took this agreement to The Lender and secured a home loan – just three weeks after they had chosen their property.
