How can we help you – Property Finance – Mortgages?

Buying a home is admin-intensive and we will make sure you know exactly what documents are required for your new home loan or first time buyer loan and when to make the deal happen for you.

What assessment factors do the banks look at?

Affordability, credit worthiness, and property value come into play when we assess your application.

1. Affordability
At this stage, the bank will undertake a comprehensive assessment to determine if the loan you apply for is affordable to you. Your credit history will be put under the spotlight and details of your current credit facilities will be sourced from a credit bureau. This way we can independently verify the instalment amounts for credit cards, vehicle repayments, cellphone contracts and other facilities in your name. It’s a step that has your best interests at heart. We do what we can to ensure you only take on debt you can afford. Never be untruthful about your income or expenditure as it can lead to your application being rejected.

2. Credit worthiness
A good credit history counts in your favour when applying for your home loan. Credit bureaus do not only list defaults or judgments against you but also keep record of good conduct on your accounts. If your conduct shows you to be a good risk client, you may be offered a preferential interest rate. This can save you a substantial amount of money over the life of your home loan. Your application could be rejected if you are considered a high risk client based on your credit history.

3. Property valuation
It is the norm for the bank to conduct a valuation on the home you intend to purchase. This is to make sure the property offers sufficient security for the loan you request and is of the type the bank normally finances. The bank may require you to pay a deposit on certain properties.

On approval of your home loan application, we will contact you to discuss the most favourable rate received from the banks as well as other important details and the terms of the loan. At this stage, I will advise your estate agent that the purchase of the property has been concluded and I will forward the necessary documentation to the attorneys to proceed with the registration of your bond and transfer of the property into your name.  The attorneys will contact you to set up an appointment for the signing of these documents.

What Is An Access Bond?

Access Bonds are by far the most popular type of home loan currently available.

An Access Bond is very much like an ordinary home loan except it has an added saving benefit attached to it.

The savings portion of this type of home loan, allows you to pay extra funds into you bond, and still have access to those extra funds.

The big benefit is that any extra monies you put into your bond account will help to reduce the total interest you end up paying on the outstanding home loan.

Since the interest on your home loan is calculated on the total outstanding amount. If you pay a little extra into you bond every month, you be lowering the total outstanding amount and therefor you’ll pay less interest.

The reason why Access Bonds are so popular, is because you continue to have full access to any extra money you place in your bond account, while enjoying the benefit of paying less interest overall.

Some banks ,do however, only allow you to withdraw R 1000 or more from your Access Bond account.
