    Hi guys,

    I was just wanting to find out how holding cost work,

    as well as delayed settlements work.

    Thanks Josh

    Not sure exactly what you are asking here…

    Anyway, a basic rule of thumb is allow about 20% of the rent to be swallowed up by holding costs (other than loan interest).

    If a settlement is delayed past the agreed date, and it is your fault, then you can be up for usually around 13% interest on the property price, charged daily. You will have to pay the amount at settlement.

    for example: property price $300k , settlement is delayed by 12 days.
    13% x $300k = $39,000
    $39,000/365 = $106.84 per day
    12 x $106.84 = $1,284.19

    Cheers,
    Marc.
