Applying for a home loan? Good reasons to use a bond originator.

More than 50% of home loan applications need to be submitted to at least two and sometimes three or four banks before being accepted - but fortunately, home buyers no longer need to traipse around from bank to bank with files full of paperwork while crossing their fingers that they find one prepared to give them a bond at a reasonable interest rate.
 
These days you just need to submit your application through a reputable originator. They use an electronic multi-lender submission process which means that prospective borrowers only have to complete one application and assemble one set of supporting documents before their application is simultaneously submitted to a number of banks, including their own bank.
 
However, bond origination is not just about convenience, their consultants also know what the different banks require and keep up with all the different home loan products they currently have on offer. This means they can direct and motivate your application to those lenders most likely to approve it, and so significantly increase your chances of obtaining a home loan.
 
More than 75% of the applications submitted via a bond originator are approved – which is a big improvement on the general approval rate of 50% or less.
 
Thirdly, applying through an originator immediately signals to each bank that there are other lenders competing for your home loan business, and encourages them all to immediately make their best offer as regards the interest rate and terms that would be applicable to your bond.
 
This not only speeds up the approval process but ensures that you are getting the very best interest rate available in your particular financial circumstances. And that is critical because even a small difference in the rate can cut many thousands of rand off the total cost of your home.
 
They can also help you work out what size bond you can afford on your current salary and assist you to obtain a pre-qualification certificate for that amount.
 
This will enable you to focus on homes that are within your budget, signal to sellers that you are a serious buyer and give you leverage in price negotiations that could save you even more on the total cost of your home.
