We have recently had dealings with Morne through Mortgage Plus Bond Originators in arranging a building finance for our new house in Krugersdorp. We would have no hesitation in recommending Morne to anyone requiring the services of a mortgage originator. Morne’s knowledge was good and all queries were promptly answered. Once finance was organized, there were follow-up calls to make sure everything was progressing smoothly. Even after making our third progress payment to the builder, Morne still rang to see if everything was going smoothly.

Being first home buyers, the process of finding the right home loan and bank was a very daunting prospect. We were recommended the services of Mr Morne Prinsloo from Mortgage Plus. Morne made himself available at times that suited us and explained our options in an easy to understand fashion. From our initial meeting all the way through the application and registration process, and even once we had moved into our home, Morne was always happy to help. He was available to answer any questions we had and ensured we were comfortable with every aspect of our new home loan. It is no exaggeration to say that without Morne we could not have done this ourselves. We would highly recommend utilizing his services to take the stress and pressure out of finding and applying for a home loan.
Thank you Morne!

Dear Morne,
I am normally a very busy person and do not have much time to search through various finance organizations to find out which one could offer me best finance options. With your help, I was able to do just that within the comfort of my home. We accessed many different options easily by utilizing your website ( www.mortgagepluscc.co.za ) and comparing them to decide which one would suit me best.
But my appreciation did not stop there. After locating the right Home Loan for me, you followed up all the steps leading up to the registration, reminding me some steps that I forgot to follow. You also had a discussion with my financing organization and convinced them to waive the early payment fee of my existing loan (which saved me R7800).
It was your professionalism, attention to detail, and very friendly manners that helped the whole process turn into an easy and manageable experience for us.
I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone who is in the process of buying a property and trying to arrange suitable finance. Thanks again for your excellent support and the time you dedicated to us.
Ms. Johanna Setlhogole

The purchase of our first home was made possible thanks to Mortgage Plus “Morne” and his hard work. Purchasing your first home can be quite daunting, however Morne explained the whole process thoroughly (and many times) to ensure we were well educated and equipped to handle all that came with this process. He was always available to help with any enquiries and promptly addressed any issues that arose. Everything was completed in a timely manner and with great diligence. We are now living the great South African dream thanks to all his hard work!!!

Morne was very prompt in getting back to me after my initial website inquiry about a reverse mortgage. I was acting on behalf of my aged father in trying to secure a bond. I found Morne to be very knowledgeable in the subject of reverse mortgages, and prompt in his follow up of my subsequent enquiries once I decided to apply. Morne made sure I understood all the detail of the loan and advised all the documentation and processes required to ensure prompt loan approval from First National Bank.

How to get a home loan approved
Even though property prices have soared in recent years, you can probably still obtain a home loan to buy your own home if you are earning a regular salary. Here are some ways that you can get that home loan you need to become a home owner without needing an excessively high income.
Look For Special Home Loan Deals
Keep an eye out for special deals offered on home loans by the various banks in South Africa. There are good home loan products specially designed for first time home buyers who do not have huge incomes or cash on hand to pay deposits on the home loans. Always try and negotiate with the bank on a better interest rate as even a small decrease on your interest rate can make quite a large difference on your monthly repayments. For a family on a tight budget even a R100 less per month spend on your bond can make a big difference.
You can often bargain with a home seller to get the price down to something that you are more able to afford so do not just accept the first offer as something you cannot afford. Also keep in mind that many of the cheaper properties are not always advertised so drive around in your area and look out for the “For Sale” signs in front of houses. Do this especially on sundays as this is the day most sellers choose to place their homes on show.
Increase Your Home Loan Repayment Period
You do not have to take your home loan over a 20-year period but you could stretch it over a 30-year period. This will cause your monthly repayments on the home loan to be lower which will allow you to afford a higher loan amount. On the negative side this kind of home loan will cost you more over the long run in the form of the interest you will pay.
Get a Joint Home Loan
If you cant afford a home loan on your own salary consider buying a home with a partner. Instead of looking at your personal income as a measure for calculating an amount you can afford on a home loan, banks will look at the joint gross income of the two partners buying property together. If your gross income is R4000 and that of the partner is R8000 the bank will calculate the amount that you jointly qualify for on the combined R12000 income. The bank usually will not give a home loan on more than 30% of the gross income so jointly you should be able to get a loan for R400000. If you decide to take this option make sure that you sign a legal agreement with the partner on the amount each will pay on the repayments of the home loan and how the proceeds should be spilt when the home is sold in the future.
Enter The Market With a Lower Value Home
A common mistake prospective home buyers make, especially first time buyers, are that of aiming to high. Only for a hand full of people will their first home be their dream home. It helps to get into the property market first with a lower value home and after a few years, with the increase in value of your property and promotions in your job, you will be able to afford a better home.
