A home represents not only comfort and memories, but also your biggest investment you will ever make. Because it is so important, nothing should be overlooked. After you find a house you want, it all starts with the lender.
One feature buyers want in a home loan is flexibility. Nedbank is dedicated to providing flexibility to its home loan customers. Nedbank home loans can be tailored to suit the individual needs of the home buyer. This flexibility makes Nedbank very attractive, especially to first time buyers. However, veteran home buyers will also find a Nedbank product to suit their needs.
Nedbank home loans can be used to buy either an existing home or vacant land so you can build your dream home. Home loans for 100 percent of the purchase price are available as well, depending on the buyer?s creditworthiness and the property?s value. Nedbank will finance between 70 percent and 100 percent of a vacant land purchase, again depending on the buyer?s creditworthiness and the value of the property. Home loans are also available to those who want to borrow money to make major improvements to their existing home.
Nedbank offers both fixed and variable interest rate home loans, as well as Nedbank Accelerated Payments, which enable the buyer to pay off their home loan faster than what is agreed upon in the home loan contract. This is an excellent way to say money on capital and interest.
Qualifying for a Nedbank home loan is easy if you are a South African resident with a good credit record. It should also be noted that there are minimum monthly income requirements as well. Before you apply for a home loan, check your credit report, Nedbank advises you to contact the credit bureaus if there are any errors.
You can also pay down high credit balances to increase your score. Remember, lower interest rates are only offered with high credit scores. Also set aside two to three months of incomes for the first few loan payments, which is known as reserves.
Buying a home means paperwork, too. You will need proof of identity, income verification, bank statements and the offer to purchase agreement. Make sure you have all the necessary documentation gathered before you apply for a home loan in order to speed up the process and not delay. A delay could cause you to lose out on your home purchase.
Paying monthly loan payments is part of the process. The monthly charge consists of the capital, interest, home insurance premium, and any administrative fee tacked on.
The first step in making your dream a reality is finding a qualified lender. At Nedbank, your search for the best lender and quote may end there.
