Ordinary Home Loan
As the name stipulates, this is the standard home loan option used to purchase a home. In South Africa these are known as ORDINARY LOANS. Whether you are a first time buyer or second time buyer it makes no difference. This is your basic option. With your ordinary loan, rates can be:
Fixed Interest Rates - Your interest rate is fixed for a period, normally between one and two years. The problem with your fixed interest rate is that it will be slightly higher than the prime home loan rate when the loan is taken out plus you don't get the advantage of rates discounts and drops in the prime rate. The advantage of a fixed rate is that it protects you from rising interest rates and gives you the comfort of knowing what your monthly payments will be.
Variable Interest Rates - With a variable interest rate loan, your interest rate is linked to the prime home loan rate which can vary depending on market conditions. This does however change seldomly. If the prime interest rate decreases by one percent, so will your interest rate, and of course if the prime rate increases so does your home loan rate. It seems to be the norm in South Africa right now especially with the exciting and volatile market that we have. Most bond originators in South Africa would recommend a variable rate too. WIZARD DOES!
The interest rate is calculated daily on an outstanding balance and is capitalized/debited monthly. Installments must be paid on the required installment due day and monthly repayments must be paid in terms of your mortgage loan agreement.
