Happy Leap Year

February 29, 2016 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts

Leap Year

Each Leap Year, not only do we celebrate the “Extra Day” gifted every 4 years, but also according to an old Irish legend, St Brigid struck a deal with St Patrick that on the 29th February women are permitted to propose to men and tradition also dictates that any man who refuses a woman’s proposal on February 29 has to buy her 12 pairs of gloves or pay a penalty such as a gown or money.

In the finance industry we have no issue as to who proposes to whom, however we do use this day as a reminder to ask ourselves … “Have I reviewed or updated my loans or my investments within the last 4 years ?”

Tradition does not dictate that a penalty needs to be paid if you haven’t, however the reality is that you could be losing money by paying too high an interest rate or hanging onto an investment that simply isn’t performing as you had hoped.

And so, on this Leap Year, we pass on all our best wishes to you all and … to help you “Leap” into the year ahead we offer to our clients and their families an obligation free review of their Home Loans & Investment Property Loans.

To take us up on this offer simply click on CONTACT US and provide your name & contact details and we will be pleased to assist.
