Absa says it is still giving 100 percent loan-to-value to would-be home buyers even in this market but only if they qualify.

According to Sifiso Shongwe, managing executive of Absa Home Loans, loans are being granted across the board to applicants who qualify - meaning they have a good credit rating.

“Since the National Credit Act came into effect, the dynamics have changed and as banks, we have to exercise responsible lending,” says Shongwe.

ABSA First-time Home Loan

This uniquely structured facility assists first-time home buyers to fund the transfer and registration costs via their home loan.

Even though one home loan is granted, the account is set up in such a way that the cost portion is separate from the purchase price. By structuring costs over a shorter repayment period means you pay less interest, however, you can select any term as long as it doesn’t exceed the term of your primary loan.
