Rent2buy units now made available in Bloemfontein, Western Cape, Parklands, Bardale and Blue Downs-Eerste Rivier

Rent2buy units are now made available by property developers in three new and existing residential developments ranging from Bloemfontein to Parklands and Bardale and Blue Downs-Eerste Rivier in the Western Cape, says Meyer de Waal, a Cape Town attorney who developed the Rent2buy product.

Rent2buy buyers can get prequalified and move into a home, soon to be called their own home.

We approached property developers and requested them to provide us with a limited number of residential units for sale on the Rent2buy Finance concept. The response was overwhelming from these property developers. They all are very excited and keen to assist current tenants, home buyers and property investors to achieve their dream to own their own homes says De Waal.

PARKLANDS – WESTERN CAPE

In the Nouveau Estate, working with the C5i Group, the prices range from R915 585 to R1 026 685, the current tenants are first offered the opportunity to buy their own units. It was found that many tenants already made a home for themselves in their rental apartment, settled in and fell in love with the quality finishes, location and amenities the development offers and wish to continue living in their current home.

The Nouveau Estate units are also available for property investors who aim to get their foot in the property door says De Waal, as an investment buyer can buy the unit with an existing tenant and lease agreement and can calculate the investment return from day one.

The Nouveau Estate units are now available to purchase to the open market under the Rent2buy Finance concept as well a direct purchase, cash or with the assistance of a home loan.

A Rent2buy deposit of 5,4 % is required to secure any of these units available.

The Nouveau Estate development is situated on the outskirts of Parklands in Parklands Main Road in an upcoming residential area and is situated is a quiet neighbourhood, ideal for first home buyers and investors. The location is close to well established schools and the future Curro Private School and 3.8km to Blaauwberg Hospital.

100 % APPROVAL RATE FOR A HOME BUYER

The benefit of a Rent2buy Finance prequalification is that once pre-approved, the Rent2buy buyer is 100% secured of securing a property within his price range, once the property valuation is approved and the required Rent2buy deposit made available.

De Waal explains that on average 50 % of home loans are declined.  If a buyer goes through a home loan prequalification process, the success rate of home loans submitted are up to 75 % approval rate as financial institutions dig deep to find a reason to decline a home loan.

Often a home loan is “approved”, but as few 100% home loans are granted, the huge deposit required by the bank and well as the cash required to pay for the attorney transfer and bond registration fees often “sinks the deal” and makes it impossible for the home buyer to proceed.

With Rent2buy Finance, once you are approved and your deposit is available, you are 100% assured to secure your property. Our pre-qualification process is so good, that a Rent2buy pre-approval is as good as a final approval, says De Waal.

The Rent2buy Finance deposit ranges from 5,4 % to 3,4 % of the property purchase price, depending on the type of property purchased. No other transfer costs are payable to secure the Rent2buy property, says De Waal.

The Rent2buy buyers then rents the property for a period of 24 months. Just before the expiry of the rental period, the Rent2buy buyer will be offered to convert the rental agreement into an installment sale and pay off the purchase price over a period of 15 years, or can apply for a home loan, then with a much-improved credit score and affordability track record. Transfer and bond registration fees are then payable by the buyer, when he takes transfer and can use his Rent2buy deposit refund to pay for these costs.
