Real People - Homeloans up to R120 000
Perhaps you have just taken out a home loan and moved into your new house.
Renovating might be a necessity and this is where Real People can help you out. They strive to make life easier specifically for new homeowners.
The Flexibuild loan explained
Real people know that you might already have a lot of expenses with your new home loan in place and therefore gives you flexibility across the first half of your loan term with them. You will be able to purchase all the building materials you need in a simple process so you can purchase materials as you complete each step of your home instead of needing to purchase everything all at once.
During these 6 months, you will only be charged for the interest on part of the loan that you have already utilised. Thereafter, your loan interest will be based on the entire amount due and will revert to a fixed monthly repayment until the loan is paid off.
Let Real People help you finance your home
If you are thinking of building yourself a new home or extending or renovating your existing home, you should apply for a loan from Real People home loans. They offer you the convenience of financing all your building materials from your choice of participating hardware store in order to help you complete your dream home.
Unique 30% cash out options
Real People understand that you are a real person and not just a sum of your data and a risk profile.
They offer quick loans of up to R120 000 for clients spending at over 600 participating hardware stores that will give you all the tools and materials you need for your dream home.
How does it work
Their company pays the loan amount directly to the hardware store of your choice. You will then be able to visit the store and purchase products, tools, and materials for all your building or renovation needs to the value of the loan amount.
You can obtain a short-term loan between as little as R1 000 for small renovation jobs to as much as R120 000 for when you have a bigger project and need a long-term loan. You will be given up to 48 months to repay the loan and will know if you have been approved or not within 2 hours after they have received your completed application form and all supporting documents.
Unique 30% cash-out options
One of their unique product features is their 30% cash-out option.
You can receive up to 30% of the total home loan amount in cash. This can be used to help pay for builders, labour, and other expenses that are related to the industry
