ABSA - Get your dream home today

All prospective clients need when they apply for a home loan is a  valid South African ID or passport, a signed offer to purchase, and the latest pay-slip

 If self-employed, the bank will need a bank statement showing the client’s last 3 months' transactions.

Absa helps clients build their dream property  

Absa home loan will work together with clients who want to realise their dream of building a house from the ground up. Its building loan option gives the client the ability to use the loan for both vacant lands and for building the actual house.

The prospective client has to find a piece of vacant land that he or she would like to build on. These clients must find a builder that is registered by the National Home Builders Registration Council.

These clients must begin to pay back the mortgage after 9 months, whether the home has been finalised or not.

Repayment amounts will be calculated on the outstanding balance of the loan. Final payment will be done once the client has received an occupation certificate from the municipality. Interest starts accumulating as soon as the client has made your first payment – referred to as interim interest.

Absa Bank Home Loans is the perfect fit

Whether clients intend to purchase, build from scratch or invest in a property, Absa will be there for them. With a joint income of R23 300 a month, or if clients are first-time home buyers, an Absa Home Loan could open up a new world of opportunity for them.
