About Better Life

Purchasing a new home is a massive step to take and, as exciting as it can be, a home loan comes with its own set of challenges and complications.

This is particularly true if this is the first time you are purchasing a home. Luckily for you, Better Life is here to guide you through the process.

Financial solutions to get you on track

Better Life is a financial broker – this means that they compare the financial products offered by a variety of financial institutions and lenders to find the deal that best suits your financial circumstances and preferences. The best part is that their services are entirely free! All you have to do is submit a loan application and they will use the information you have provided to find the best fit.

If you are not happy with the offer that they have chosen, then they will gladly broaden their search or enter into a negotiation with the lender to provide you with an offer you are happy with. It is their goal to provide you with the best home loan in South Africa offer possible to guarantee a good start to your new life.

Interest is in your best interest

The interest rate you are quoted on your home loan is a massive deciding factor in whether or not the deal is feasible for you. The interest rate does not only determine the monthly repayments you will be making on your home loan but also the total cost of the loan. It is important to receive the best possible interest rate to reduce the amount of interest that you will accumulate over time.

However, if the interest rate is too high you will also struggle to budget your monthly repayments. But, do not fret, Better Life will negotiate the best possible home loan rate for your circumstances.

Better Life Services

A home loan is a massive deal and they will not hog all the spotlight.

Instead, they prefer to keep their clients close to their hearts to ensure that they are completely satisfied with the process.

The uses of a home loan

Home loans are a type of secured personal finance – this means that the home loan amount you have secured will be secured against the home that you are financing. Only once the final monthly repayment has been made, will you be the official owner of your home. But home loans are not just used to purchase a new property, they can be taken out on an existing mortgage for means of expansion, maintenance, and modifications on your current home.

So, if you have been wanting to revamp the kitchen, now is the perfect time to do so! In fact, it is more affordable to take out an extended loan on your mortgage to perform these expansions as home loans have lower rates than most other forms of long-term finance.

Borrowing amounts that will make you smile

Better Life is affiliated with a number of financial institutions which means that they can juggle their trusted panel of lenders according to your needs and preferences. The home loans that they can secure start at R250 000 and range up to massive values of R8.5 million. The borrowing term and rate will differ according to the bond you have secured, but most borrowers choose to repay their home loans over an average repayment period of 20 years.

Unfortunately, your rate and term are also influenced by the current state of your credit record: the better your record, the better home loan deal you can access.
