(c) You acknowledge that, if your personal circumstances change and you would like RHI to update the Property Investment Plan to reflect the changes to your circumstances, RHI will charge an additional fee where substantial changes are required to update and reissue the Property Investment Plan, and you either have not purchased a Membership, or you have not held a Membership for a period of at least 6 consecutive months. Such additional fees will be notified to you in advance. 

Information we require from you

(d) In order to prepare your Property Investment Plan, you are required to complete our ‘Online Fact Find’, which will be emailed to you following your purchase of the Property Investment Plan.

(e) You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. the Property Investment Plan is produced using financial and cash flow modelling which relies on the information that you provide us;
  2. any guidance, recommendations, or indicative outcomes in the Property Investment Plan are heavily reliant on the information that you provide to us through our ‘Online Fact Find’ and during our initial meeting. This includes information about your income, expenses, assets, liabilities, future goals and future known changes to your circumstances;
  3. we will rely on you providing information that is true and correct, in order to generate a suitable Property Investment Plan; and
  4. we will not independently verify the information you provide to us, and your Property Investment Plan will be prepared on the assumption that the information you have provided is true and correct. 

Assumptions in the Property Investment Plan

(f) As the Property Investment Plan is produced using financial and cash flow modelling, we are required to make certain assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to: property growth rates; rental income growth rates; interest rates; market trends; legislative provisions relating to residential tenancies and Australia’s taxation laws. 

(g) In addition to these assumptions, there are also other assumptions which we will make, which are summarised in (but are not limited to the assumptions in) your Property Investment Plan.

(h) You acknowledge that:

  1.  if any of the assumptions do not materialise or are incorrect, this will impact the suitability of the Property Investment Plan and that we don’t guarantee that you following the Property Investment Plan will achieve the forecast results within the Property Investment Plan; and
  2. we also cannot guarantee that you will achieve the predicted forecasts and results, in the event that the assumptions do materialise and are correct.

(i) The assumptions we make when preparing the Property Investment Plan include among other things, the assumptions referred to in clauses 4(f) and 4(g), the growth rates of rental incomes and property prices. Such assumptions can vary significantly from year to year but are more consistent when averaged over a longer term. For these reasons, you acknowledge that the Property Investment Plan is more suitable for investors seeking to implement a longer-term investment strategy (for example, investors with at least 15 years remaining until their desired retirement age).
