Can I Take a Loan Once My Bond Is Approved?
This is one of the most common questions we receive from home buyers.
The short answer? No not until your property has registered.
Once your bond is approved, the bank may still reassess your financial position before registration. Taking on new debt, applying for credit, financing a vehicle, opening a store account, or even signing a new cellphone contract could affect your affordability and place your home loan at risk.
To protect your bond approval:
β Avoid new loans or credit applications
β Don't open new accounts
β Keep your employment and income stable
β Maintain your current financial commitments
Remember: Bond approval is not the finish line. registration is.
