The Bank’s Guarantee: What Does It Mean?
When you apply for a home loan, the bank may issue you a document stating they’ll provide the funds you need.
However, this promise is conditional.
Typically, the bank will only release the money after 2-3 months, once all the paperwork is completed.
Here’s the catch: during this waiting period, your financial situation must remain stable.
The Fine Print: Changes Can Cancel Your Bond
If anything in your financial situation changes during the 2-3 months, the bank has the right to withdraw its promise. Why would they do this?
When the bank evaluates your loan application, they assess your financial health. They look at:
Your current debts (car payments, personal loans, or other obligations)
Your ability to repay the loan If they determine that you can manage the loan, they agree to lend you the money.
However, if you make significant changes to your finances, like taking on new debt or making large purchases, the bank may reconsider.
Real-Life Example: How Overspending Can Derail Your Dream
Let’s say you’re approved for a home loan of R1 million. Excited, you decide to buy a new car or expensive jewelry during the waiting period. When the bank reviews your updated financial situation, they might find that you no longer meet their requirements.
The result? They can retract their offer, leaving you without funds to buy your home.
This could cause the entire sale to fall through, a heartbreaking outcome many have experienced.
Tips to Protect Your Loan Approval
Avoid new debt:
Don’t take out additional loans or make large purchases during this period.
Keep finances steady:
Stick to your usual spending habits and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Communicate with your bank:
If any financial changes are unavoidable, inform your bank immediately to understand the impact.
By keeping your finances stable, you can ensure that your loan approval process goes smoothly, and you’ll soon be holding the keys to your dream home!
