Property prices have skyrocketed the last few years. This is good news for property owners, but new home buyers will have to pay a lot more today.
Here are a few tips on saving money on your mortgage:
- Make a larger deposit – this leave less capital to be financed and less interest being charged
- Make additional payments – You would be surprised to know that even an extra R250.00 per month could result in years off your original loan period.
- Lower your interest rate – by lowering your current interest rate and still paying the same monthly payments, you would in effect be paying more than the required amount every month, again saving on additional interest.
