❓ Common Questions
How long does approval take? +
South Africa: 5–10 business days. Kenya: 7–14 days. Nigeria: 14–30 days. Ghana: 2–4 weeks. The timeline depends on document completeness and valuation turnaround.
Can I apply with bad credit? +
It's difficult but not impossible. Options include: waiting 12–24 months and rebuilding your credit, applying through a co-borrower with good credit, using government housing schemes (like SA's FLISP or Nigeria's NHF), or approaching cooperative housing funds.
What is a good down payment? +
Most African banks require 10–30% down payment. SA banks may approve 100% bonds for first-time buyers with good credit. Nigeria's NHF requires 10%. Ghana and Kenya typically require 20–30%. A larger down payment improves approval chances and reduces rates.
Does this guarantee bank approval? +
No. This is an indicative pre-qualification based on typical bank criteria. Each bank has its own assessment process, and final approval depends on property valuation, full credit check, and other factors. Use this as a guide to prepare your application.
