Buying a home is exciting and can be a little daunting at the same time. Not only are you faced with the challenge of finding the right property, but you also need to know you’re getting the right loan.

Investment loans vary depending on what you are looking to achieve, and can be either quite complex with effective use of tax, gearing and repayments, or very simple (like your standard home loan).

Home improvements have once again increased in popularity as people figure out that improving their existing home is a far more economical option to selling the old one and buying another one.

The bank or lender you use for your residential mortgage purposes might have the best possible mortgage products available, but can you be sure they’ll have the best commercial loans available too?
