Questions everyone asks
All questionsHow much must I earn to buy a R700 000 house?
About R23 000 a month, on your own or combined with a partner or family member. Banks work on roughly 30% of your gross income going to the bond, and a R700 000 home over 20 years at 10.5% comes to around R6 990 a month. If you earn less than that, a joint application or a First Home Finance subsidy can close the gap. Your own number depends on your debts and your credit record, so the guide above is a starting point, not a verdict.
Check your real number freeDo I need a deposit?
Often not. 100% bonds are common in this market, especially on new developments, so plenty of our buyers start with R0 down. A deposit is never wasted though: every rand you put down lowers your monthly repayment, and it can earn you a better interest rate from the bank. Put down what you comfortably can and no more, because you will want cash left over for moving in.
Check your real number freeWhat is First Home Finance and do I qualify?
First Home Finance, still widely called FLISP, is a government subsidy for first-time buyers earning roughly R3 501 to R22 000 a month. It pays a lump sum toward your home, which either shrinks your loan or covers your upfront costs, so your monthly repayment drops. To qualify you need to be a South African citizen over 18, buying your first property. We check your eligibility and handle the application with you.
