January 16th, 2009

You will get up to 100% of the building contract price (including the land) and you get breathing space with up to six progress payments so you can ensure the building process can stay on track. The building Loan repayments are interest-only repayments until the last payout and you can choose your loan term for up to 20 years. The interest rates are limited to variable until the building process is complete, but then you get to choose your rate. You will need to make sure your home is built by a registered builder. Future Use and FlexiBond add-on options give you the same flexibility as the Traditional Home Loan in insuring against leaner months and unexpected setbacks.FNB Home Loan strategies were sometimes controversial but FNB stuck to its underlying mission of trying to help the people.
