Home Loan Transfer
Let A Professional Take Care Of Your Home Loan Transfer
It is true that it is easier to buy property once you already own property. Not only are you more familiar with the process, but banks and other financial institutions should be more forthcoming in the provision of financing. Instead of applying for a first time bond, you can now simply go through the process of a home loan transfer. While the approval of this is usually faster and easier, the process itself could still be rather complicated and you certainly need the assistance of a professional conveyancer to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that all documents are completed correctly.
While in theory you will simply be executing a home loan transfer, the actual process requires a few more steps to be completed successfully. Before the current home loan can be separated from the property it originally financed, the owner needs to find a buyer. That buyer must secure their financing, register their home loan and provide the bank holding the existing bond with guarantees. Only once this has been presented, the cancellation or transfer of the current bond can be approved. This cancellation must be registered at the Deeds Office. Once the existing home loan is cancelled, the new home loan can be activated. This requires the approved home loan to be registered.
This is simply the home loan transfer process and by far not the only actions that need to happen in the home buying process. You also have to ensure that a rates clearance certificate is obtained from the local municipality and that the deeds are sent to the Deeds Office. Once they have indicated their approval, you can file the papers to have the new property registered in your name.
