- TONI DAWSON, a fully qualified Mortgage Advisor, with more than 15 years’ industry experience, shares her expertise.
Spring is here. It’s time to throw open the windows, smell the fresh air, and realise your home could be a crime scene.
Is your home painted nicotine white? That’s like Spanish white. But with 20 years of cigarette seasoning!
Is your decking timber so old that it’s started farming its own mushrooms? It’s like farm to table. Or maybe farm to tetanus!
Is your home still rocking that classic asbestos cladding? Or maybe you’ve still got single glazed windows?
Who needs energy efficiency and noise control when you can have vintage vibes and sky-high power bills?!
And does your bathroom screen disco inferno, but not in a good way? Brown tiles, avocado bath, carpet around the toilet and lighting that makes you look dead inside.
Is your wiring outdated? Nothing screams charm like dodgy wiring.
This spring maybe it’s time for an upgrade or to tick off those home improvements.
Make the most of the warmer weather and the longer days. Nostalgia is cute. Until your house tries to kill you.
And did you know that many banks offer ‘green’ loans at 0 per cent p.a. or 1 per cent p.a. for those ‘green’ home upgrades? Reach out today.
