Banks in South Africa are increasingly approving these no-deposit home loans in an effort to stimulate the property market. To qualify for a no-deposit home loan, you need to meet the following criteria:
- Exceptional Credit Score: You must maintain a spotless credit history and an excellent credit rating. Financial institutions are stringent about this criterion as it mitigates potential legal issues related to irresponsible lending practices.
- Impeccable Repayment History: Your past records should demonstrate timely repayments of loans and debts, proving to the bank your responsibility as a borrower.
- Stable and Sufficient Income: Possessing a stable job with a reliable income that can comfortably cover your loan repayments and monthly expenses is a prerequisite.
- Property Type and Location: Loans are more likely to be approved for 'typical' properties situated in standard areas, ensuring that the property retains its market value. Essentially, opt for a standard house, townhouse, or apartment in main city areas. Avoid properties in remote locations or of unconventional types.
