Process

  • You have 12 months to complete the building. Construction work must commence within the first 3 months following registration.
  • Your loan term is limited to 240 months.
  • You only pay interim interest on the Building Loan until the building is complete. Once it is complete normal capital and interest payments become payable. If the construction period takes longer than 12 months, interest and capital become payable once the 12 month period allocated to the construction expires (unless the customer has obtained approval from the bank to extend the building period).
  • You will be limited to the variable interest rate until the building has been completed. On completion of the building, you may apply for a fixed rate.
  • You can apply for progress payments at any stage during the construction process provided that sufficient work has been completed and the bank is satisfied with the progress. A maximum of six progress payments will be allowed, based on the work completed.
  • The application will be assessed on receipt of the necessary documentation in line with the policy and lending criteria of the bank. Assuming the bank is in a position to assist, a minimum deposit of 10% of the total package price (land + contract amount) is required in all instances; this however could increase - dependent on the credit profile score of the applicant(s). The deposit will be based on the lower of the total package price, or FNB's assessed market value on completion. If the applicant's credit profile score determines a loan to value amount less than 90%, no amount is redeemable at the end of the construction period. If for any reason during the period of construction, the applicant(s) credit profile deteriorates, the bank reserves the right to retain the redeemable amount.

Close

Your responsibilities

  • Inform the builder and the bank of any problems, concerns or delays in the building process. The bank will not act as clerk of works on your behalf and in need, you may want to appoint a suitable, qualified professional person to supervise or oversee the project. It is important to note that you have appointed the builder, and all disputes are to be discussed directly with the builder and the NCC where deemed necessary.
  • Ensure that the contract you sign with the builder does not comprise of conditions which will be prejudicial to you. In need, consult with a legal advisor or a suitably qualified professional to assist you before signing the contract.
  • Request progress payments only if you are satisfied with the progress and the amount requested by the builder.
  • Service your interim interest by making regular monthly repayments for these amounts as this will avoid any shortfall that may occur.
  • Ensure that you and your builder understand all the bank's loan conditions and that all the conditions are being complied with at the times required/stipulated by the bank.
  • Ensure that, on completion of the building, your Home Owners Comprehensive Insurance Cover is in place. The Contractor's All Risk Insurance Cover only provides cover from the date when construction commences until date of completion/occupation.

Close

  • It is mandatory that Building Loans interest payments are settled via debit order or salaried stop order, and the responsibility for any interest payments rests with the mortgagor.
