Special features

Suppose you have some money available and want to deposit it in your home loan account, but you are afraid that you might need it in the future. Do you transfer it to your home loan account or rather play it safe and keep it for in case? Readvance gives you access to the capital amount you already paid towards your home loan account without registering for a new home loan.
You are determined to pay off your home loan as soon as possible. With Nedbanks’ Accelerated Payments option this has never been easier. This feature allows reimbursing your loan in the quickest possible time.
The house you decided on may need some attention or you may want to make some alterations to it. But you already took out a home loan and don’t know how you will afford the changes to your new place. Further loan with registration is the answer to your problems. This enables you to take out a second loan especially for such needs as improving your present home.
House Owners Insurance (HOC) is a condition to every home loan Nedbank grants, and a very usefull one to say the least. Not only does it protect the bank’s interest, but it can shield you from financial loss as well. According to Nedbank’s website, HOC covers not only the property, but the outbuildings (swimming pool, garage, walls and more) as well.
When you are no longer able to pay off your home loan (in the case of death or disability), you don’t want to burden you family with it. Loan Protection Assurance ensures that it is not required of your loved ones to take over the loan repayment.
What home loan options are available?
According to Nedbank’s website their ordinary residential home loan is a flexible home loan that can be tailored to suit your individual needs. It can be used both for buying an established residential property or vacant residential land. The minimum amount you can borrow with the ordinary residential home loan is R100 000 for a term of up to 30 years. The maximum amount available on this option is up to 108% of the property value. To make things even more convenient, you can choose between fixed or variable interest rates.
Nedbank acknowledges that first time buyers are even more daunted by buying their very own place. And with this in mind they specifically designed Alphabond. This home loan provides you with the money to pay initial costs and help with cash flow. You can even take a three-month holiday from reimbursing your loan – giving you time and money to decorate your new house. You can borrow a minimum amount of R100 000 over 360 months and loan up to 108% of the property value. The option between a fixed or variable interest rate is available and what makes this loan even more impressive is that you can organize a rate concession once the loan is paid off up to under a 100%. Readvance (access to the capital amount already paid into your home loan account) is only available after tyour loan value falls below 100%.
