    Hi there,

    I have got IP in Altona  Meadows. Its very hard to find 3 bedroom house with decent size block in Altona Meadows for 350K. Instead of looking at Laverton, i would advise you to look in Hoppers Crossing as you can get something in Hoppers with that budget. Also its only 10 minutes drive from laverton station and their is good infrastructure in Hoppers . i.e. Shopping centre, bus/train etc.

    Also with laverton, even though its in Zone 1, their is no proper infrastructure in Laverton at the moment . i.e no Shopping centre in laverton you have to go to Altona Meadows for your grocery shopping.

    Hopefully Laverton will get boost once the William landing suburb is fully developed.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi rishi,

    thanks for your advice. i have also looked at altona and altona meadows…..all the houses are above $350k.  i did think about hoppers crossing but i have heard from few people that its not a safe suburb!

    i guess in that sense even werribee is not safe…some parts! i guess i need to do more research. will check out hoppers also!!!

    cheerss…

    i work in the city and my wife works in the northern suburbs….but will soon shift to city.  so we want to be able to drive to a train station – park our cars (if we get a parking spot ;))  – and catch a train!

    how about derrimut??? and what abt Sydenham? OMG this is soo tuff!

    also…is it a good option to consider a townhouse? or should i just stick to a traditional house. read somewhr that land always appreciates…and house depriciates! but townhouses are built on small pockets of land!

    helllllpppppppppppppp!

    What are your jobs and where do you currently work?  This will have a big impact on where it is convenient to live… 

    Have you looked at Laverton?  It's the last station in zone 1.  It has fast train links to both Melbourne and Geelong.  You can still get a 3br house for under $350k there.  You'd be just down the road from Altona which has Altona Gate Shopping Centre and a beach.

    hey! Thanks for your reply! i will look at Laverton right away! :)

    What sorts of features are you wanting from a loan ?
    Remember unless the Mortgage Broker is also a Licensed Financial Planner then he unable to offer you any Financial Advice.

    Hey Richard,

    Thanks for your reply. I will be looking for a variable loan and want to know each and every fees involved. Some brokers hide these fees which affects your life later.

    Also, i want this broker to be a financial councilor who can advice me as to 'how much should i fork out for the loan? what should be the limit? what would be the ideal investment amount for us?'

    I want to buy a house, should be able to pay every month and also live my life!

    Cheers,
    Yash
