Confused by home loan terminology? This is the fourth in our 'Homeloan 101' series to demystify the process.
When diving into the world of home loans, you'll often come across the term "bond protection." But what does it mean?
In simple terms, bond protection refers to an insurance policy that covers the outstanding amount on your home loan in the event of unforeseen circumstances such as death, disability, or retrenchment. This ensures that your loved ones won't be burdened with the responsibility of repaying the loan in your absence.
It's a safety net, providing peace of mind that your property investment is secure, no matter what life throws your way. So, when considering a home loan, it's essential to factor in bond protection to safeguard your property and family's future.

Ever wondered how financial institutions determine if you're a good fit for a loan or credit card? Enter the Credit Score.
A credit score is a numerical representation of your financial trustworthiness. Think of it as a financial report card, where you're graded on various factors:
𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: How you've managed your credit cards.
𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘁: The amount you owe to lenders.
𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁: Different forms of credit you might have, like loans or credit cards.
𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀: Late payments, bankruptcies, or other financial missteps.
𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀 & 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Debts handed over to collection agencies or legal judgements against you.
𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵: How long you've had credit accounts.
𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗨𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Having many credit lines maxed out can lower your score.
In essence, your credit score is a snapshot of your financial behaviour. A higher score can lead to better loan terms and interest rates, so it's essential to understand and maintain it!

Confused by home loan terminology? This is the third in our 'Homeloan 101' series to demystify the process. When you're buying a home, it's important to be aware of all the costs involved. One of these is bond registration costs. But what exactly are these?

Bond registration costs are fees paid to the bond attorney, who is appointed by the bank to register the bond in the homebuyer's name. These costs are dependent on the size of the loan - the higher the loan, the higher the fees.

As a general rule, home buyers should set aside around 10% of the property purchase price to cover additional charges, such as bond registration costs.

The bond registration process involves several steps:
1️⃣ Your home loan gets approved by the bank.
2️⃣ The bank hires a cancellation attorney to cancel the original bond on the property.
3️⃣ The seller of the home appoints a conveyancing attorney to transfer ownership of the property to you.
4️⃣ The bank appoints a bond registration attorney to register a new bond in your name.
5️⃣ You, the homebuyer, pay registration fees to the bond attorney.
