🏠 BUY-TO-LET FACT

When assessing a buy-to-let home loan, banks don't just look at your salary. They may also consider a portion of the future rental income the property is expected to generate.

Example:

Property purchase price: R2,000,000
Expected rental income: R18,000 per month

Depending on the bank, they may use 70% to 80% of that rental income in their affordability assessment.

That means between R12,600 and R14,400 per month could be added to your affordability calculation.

This is one of the reasons investors can sometimes qualify for more than owner-occupiers expect.

Banks will typically assess:
✔️ Your income and expenses
✔️ The expected rental income
✔️ Your investment experience
✔️ Existing rental properties in your portfolio
✔️ The overall strength of the deal

The key is making sure the application is structured correctly and that the rental income can be properly motivated to the bank.

Self-employed and applying for a home loan?

One of the biggest mistakes we see is a mismatch between the income claimed and what’s actually reflected in the bank statements.

In this conversation, Gary Bradfield and I unpack why bank statement alignment is so important, how banks assess self-employed applicants, and the simple things you can do before applying to improve your chances of approval.

The reality is that getting approved isn’t just about how much you earn. It’s about how clearly you can demonstrate it.

A well-structured application can make the difference between a decline, a reduced approval, or securing the finance you need.

If you’re self-employed and thinking about buying property, chat to us before you sign an offer. The way your application is packaged matters.

🏦 “Ndifumene 80% home loan offer... maybe ndimele ndithenge indlu engabizi kakhulu?”

Not necessarily.

This is one of the biggest misunderstandings I see from buyers.

If the bank approves only 80% of the property value ngenxa ye-credit score yakho okanye risk profile, then dropping the purchase price doesn’t automatically fix the problem.

Example:

🏠 House price: R1.5 million
🏦 Bank offers 80%

Many buyers think, “Okay, ndiza kuthenga i-house ye-R1.2 million instead.”

But the bank may still offer only 80% because the restriction is linked to your credit profile, hayi necessarily the property price.

So even on the cheaper property, usenokufuna idipozithi.

Yiyo loo nto kubalulekile ukuqonda WHY the bank made the decision before changing your property search.

Sometimes it’s not an affordability issue.
Sometimes it’s a credit scoring issue.

Watch Phatisa explain the difference. 👇

Not every “affordable” property is a good opportunity ⚠️

In Johannesburg, location risk plays a major role in long-term value and resale potential.
Even in strong suburbs, poorly managed complexes can impact returns through high levies, weak maintenance, or declining security 🤝

That’s why property decisions should look beyond price and focus on long-term value.
