Mortgage Industry Overview
Value Adding by the Role Players in the Industry
The Role of NAMO
Code of Conduct of NAMO
The Ordinary Home Loan
THE MORTGAGE ORIGINATOR
The mortgage originator represents the home buyer in obtaining the best and most
suited mortgage loan for the buyer from any one of the participating banks.
The mortgage originator should have a working knowledge regarding the banks’
products, procedures, credit assessment criteria and pricing models to be able
to deliver quality service to the consumer.
The mortgage originator secures leads for applications from estate agents,
developers, directly from clients and other lead providers.
The mortgage originator or its consultant should always strive to add value to
all the role players in the mortgage origination value chain. This could be done
in the following ways:
a. To the Home Buyer
The originator should add value as follows:
Never make promises in terms of expected time frames or interest rates
pertaining to the loan;
Be prompt in replying to the applicant(s);
Fully brief the applicant upfront on the process regarding the application;
Notify the applicant as soon as possible whether he/she would be able to afford
the home loan or not;
Always be absolutely transparent in dealing with the client;
Handle all the affairs of the applicant confidential at all times;
Always act within the guidelines of the Code of Conduct of NAMO.
b. To the Source (Estate Agent etc)
The first requirement of the Source would be prompt service. The Source would
expect to work with an able and competent consultant who really focuses on
closing the deal regarding the financing of the mortgage loan as quickly and
efficiently as possible. Regular updating of the Source regarding the progress
of the loan application would be a prerequisite to a successful working
relationship with the Source.
c. To the Bank
The Banks would expect the following:
A fully completed application with all the prescribed supporting documentation
to enable the bank to make a decision on the application;
Undoubted integrity in your application and communication between the bank, the
Source and the client (applicant);
A good working knowledge of the banks’ products, basic credit policies and
process within the sphere of mortgage loans.
THE ROLE OF NAMO
1. The Role of NAMO is to regulate the mortgage origination industry in terms of
the quality of origination produced to the consumer and other role players in
the industry and to address any transgressions in this regard.
2. The Constitution of the Association, supported by the Code of Conduct serve
as guidelines for the National Executive Committee to regulate the industry in
such a way that the interest of the consumer is protected at all times and value
added within the mortgage industry.
THE ORDINARY HOME LOAN
APPLICATION FORM
Each bank has its application form for a home loan. Certain originators have
introduced their own generic form or the application may be submitted
electronically. In all cases the purposes of the application is to record and
provide the bank with all the details they require to consider the advance.
Additional supporting documentation as detailed below will also be required but
the accurate and comprehensive completion of the application will be essential
for the speedy consideration of the loan.
A completed application would be required for each loan application.
THE DEED OF SALE
While the general law of contracts allows for a verbal offer and acceptance to
be binding, South African law specifically requires that any contract that
involves the sale of fixed property must be in writing. The consequence is that
in all property transactions there would need to be a written contract. This is
generally referred to as “The Deed of Sale”.
Generally the estate agent selling the property would complete the document for
signature by the buyer. In that form it would represent an offer that would be
presented to the seller. If the seller finds the offer acceptable, they would
then countersign the document to indicate their acceptance of the offer. It
would now be considered a binding deed of sale (subject to any cooling off
period or suspensive conditions).
The Deed of Sale would include all pertinent details. These should include:
Full details of the buyer and seller
The sale price
Description of the property
Details on how the purchase price will be paid
As most offers are subject to the approval of a bond, the deed would indicate
the value of the bond required and a date by which evidence of its approval is
required.
Any other suspensive conditions or material aspects
Unless the bond application is in respect of a further advance, the bank will
require to be provided with a copy of The Deed of Sale. This can be obtained
from any source, i.e. estate agent; broker; attorney; directly from
buyer/seller; etc.
Confirm
All pages are included
All parties have signed
Deed of Sale is dated
All fields are completed
All changes are signed by all parties
PROOF OF IDENTITY AND CONTRACTUAL CAPACITY
When considering any application, the bank will need to know who they are
dealing with and whether they would contractually be permitted to enter into the
loan. This potential contractual restriction would generally be a consequence of
their marital status. In the case of a company or C.C., the full details of the
company registration, directors etc. would be required. Caution is required for
people married outside of South Africa as the basic marriage contract could
differ depending on the country in which the marriage was solemnized. Details of
the proof of identity and other documents required to accompany an application
are as follows:
1. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED (MARRIED COP)
As each party has full contractual capacity, no joint estate exists.
Where a buyer is married COP, the estate of the husband and wife is a joint
estate and therefore the bond will be granted in both names.
The following documentation would be required and should accompany the
application to the bank:
Copy of husband’s ID document or passport♣
Copy of wife’s ID document or passport♣
Copy of marriage certificate
♣ If not South African Citizen a certificate of permanent residence or work
permit would be required.
♣ Traditionally married is viewed the same as COP
2. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED (MARRIED ANC)
Based on a buyer’s marital status, specific documentation is required by the
banks.
Should he/she qualify for the loan on his/her income only, the bank would only
request documentation regarding himself/herself. If not, documentation of both
husband and wife would be required.
Based on the above, the following documentation should accompany the
application:
Copy of husband’s ID document or passport♣
Copy of wife’s ID document or passport♣
Copy of marriage contract
♣ If not South African Citizens a certificate of permanent residence or work
permit would be required.
3. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED (DIVORCED)
Based on a buyer’s status as a divorcee, specific documentation is required by
the banks. A divorcee has full contractual capacity, irrespective of age.
The following documentation should accompany the application:
Copy of his/her ID document or passport♣
Copy of divorce order♣♣
♣ If not a South African Citizen a certificate of permanent residence or work
permit would be required.
♣♣ The copy of the divorce order is required by the bank to determine whether
the applicant has to pay or receive maintenance.
4. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED (SINGLE, BUT BUYING HOME WITH SOME ELSE)
Buying with another person, even when you are living with that person, does not
constitute a joint estate. The property will then have to be registered in both
names or in one name with the other party having signing a surety. In either
case the documents are the same.
Copy of his/her ID document or passport♣
Copy of partner’s ID or passport♣
♣ If not a South African Citizen a certificate of permanent residence or work
permit would be required.
5. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED (SINGLE)
A copy of his/her ID document should be attached to the application.
♣ If not a South African Citizen a certificate of permanent residence or work
permit would be required.
6. DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED (COMPANY BUYING PROPERTY)
The following documentation should accompany the application:
Copies of ID document or passport of all shareholders.
Copy of CM1: Certificate of Incorporation
Copy of CM2: Memorandum and Articles of Association
Copy of CM29: Contents of Register of Directors, Auditors and Officers.
Copy of CM46: Certificate to commence a business.
Copy of CM9: Certificate of change of name of company (if applicable).
Extract of minutes of board meeting at which the decision was made to enter into
the loan and to whom power of attorney was granted to sign documentation on
behalf of the company.
Memorandum and articles of the company.
7. DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED (CC BUYING PROPERTY)
The following documentation would be required:
Copies of ID documents of all members.
CK 1: Founding statement
CK 1: Certificate of Incorporation
CK 2: Amended Founding Statement (if necessary)
Resolution determining who is authorized to sign documents on behalf of the CC.
8. DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED (INDIVIDUAL BUYING IN NAME OF CC)
The following documentation would be required:
Copies of ID documents of all members.
CK 1: Founding statement
CK 1: Certificate of Incorporation
CK 2: Amended Founding Statement (if necessary)
PERSONAL STATEMENT OF ASSETS & LIABILITIES / INCOME & EXPENDITURE
Many banks require the completion of these documents. It is difficult to imagine
how advice regarding affordability can be given without having completed an
Income & Expenditure statement. As different banks have different requirements
regarding this aspect, it is vital that consultants keep themselves fully
apprised of each bank’s individual expectations. As a general rule, consultants
should have these documents completed.
THE PURPOSE OF A SURETY
A Surety is a person who, by signing a formal document, makes him or her
self-responsible for the potential repayment of another person’s debt. It is an
instrument that is widely used by banks within the mortgage lending arena.
At the outset it is important to remember that a creditor cannot look for
repayment of a debt unless there is a valid, legally binding claim that can be
persued. A suretyship is used to create such a claim against a person who is not
a party to the principle transaction. This is perhaps best demonstrated by way
of an example. A parent wishes to have their child get into the property market
and own a property in their own name. The child however is just starting out and
simply does not have the income or perhaps the credit history to justify the
loan required. The parent on the other hand could qualify but wants the property
and loan to be in the name of the child. It is clear that without recourse to
the parent, the bank would not be in a position to justify the loan. By signing
a suretyship, the parent link themselves as co-principal debtor to the loan and
allows the bank to justify the loan on the basis of both the parent and the
child’s positions, despite the property and loan being in only one of the names.
This principle is applied in a number of different cases. A property being
registered in the name of a wife but where the husband primarily earns the
income would require a surety. (This would only apply to couples married by ANC
as if they were married ICOP, the property would need to be registered in joint
names anyway) Buyers wishing to register the property in the name of say a CC
would need to link themselves to the loan by way of a suretyship.
In all cases where a surety is being proposed, full details will need to be
supplied as if the person was one of the applicants. This would include the
provision of identification and all the normal requirements to prove income.
PROOF OF INCOME
In deciding whether an application is to be approved, banks need to be satisfied
that the income disclosed in the application form is accurate and consistent.
Applications will accordingly need to be supported by suitable proof. The
following guidelines are a generic description of the normal requirements. Each
bank may have its own requirements that are potentially less onerous. It is the
responsibility of the consultant to ensure that they are fully aware of each
banks individual requirement. Its is also important to remember that different
types of income need different proof. Any application which details multiple
different income types would need to have each type proved in the appropriate
manner.
a. Salary earner
Latest salary slip
3 months bank statements evidencing deposit of income/ commission/ maintenance
etc.
b. Commission / Overtime
Three consecutive months salary slips and latest salary slip
3 months bank statements evidencing deposit of overtime/ commission.

DEFINITION AND PURPOSE OF DOCUMENTS REQUIRED
Building Loans can be complicated. Plot and Plan developments with a recognized
developer may make the process simpler. Building loans will generally require
the additional documents listed below. Consultants must also ensure that
applicants are aware of the cash flow implication of this type of loan. Banks
will only allow draws if they are satisfied that sufficient funds are left
undrawn to complete the building. In need, it is advisable to discuss the
application with the bank involved.
• Provisional or Approved Plans. Architect or drawer’s plans of home to be
built. The banks’ assessor uses the plans for determining the value of the home
to be build and also have to check the plans before any payment is made.
• Detailed Tenders or Quotation This is a specification (in detail) regarding
the technical specifications of materials to be used to build the home, the bill
of materials to be sued, and specification of the quality of finishes to be
used. The bank’s assessor uses these documents to assess the value of the home
to be built.
• Minimum Specifications and Schedule of Finishes/Variations An undertaking by
the building contractor to adhere to the minimum technical specifications
(regarding and masonry, drainage disposal and control etc.) as laid down by
National Building Regulations, local Authority By-laws and the bank. Although
this document is not required for granting purposes, it is needed for valuation
and before any payments will be made.
• Waiver of Builder’s Lieu The building contractors has the right to retain the
keys of a building until he has been paid the full contract price. This right is
called the right of Builder’s Lieu. Due to this right, the builder’s claim will
take priority over the bank’s claim in a case where the homebuyer does not meet
his/her financial responsibilities and/or withdraws from the transaction. Banks
therefore require the builder’s right of retention to be waived in favour of the
bank (in writing); thereby making the bank the preferred creditor before any
payment will be made.
• Copy of Contractor’s NHBRC. NHBRC stands for National Home Builder’s
Registration Council. The NHBRC ensures that builders adhere to its quality
standards, and that buildings erected are free from major defects, thereby
minimizing the risk of the homebuyer and the banks. The cost for NHBRC enrolment
is 1,3 % of the contract price and is to be shown on the tender separately. The
banks insist that all building contractors should be enrolled with the NHBRC
before a building loan will be granted.
NOTE:
1. NHBRC enrollment is not required where:
- Any residential structure (home) is to be constructed with less than 75 % of
the floor area designed for residential purposes.
- Homes are built by bona fida owner builders
2. Bona Fide owner builder Is defined in terms of the Housing Consumers
Protection Measures Act as:
- Not in the business of home building; and
- Building a home for his/her own use; and
- Not using NHBRC registered home builder to assist him/her in the building
process.
A bona fide owner builder does not need to enroll with the NHBRC and does/need
not pay the enrollment fee of 1,3 %, but, if a person is building one or more
new homes a year (or every few years) on a part-time basis and then selling them
he/she is in the business of home building and therefore need to enroll with the
NHBRC.
N.B. Not all banks are prepared to do “Owner Builder” bonds. It is suggested
that consultants check regarding the attitude of a particular bank.

• Detailed Tenders or Quotation This is a specification (in detail) regarding
the technical specifications of materials to be used to build the home, the bill
of materials to be sued, and specification of the quality of finishes to be
used. The bank’s assessor uses these documents to assess the value of the home
to be built.
• Minimum Specifications and Schedule of Finishes/Variations An undertaking by
the building contractor to adhere to the minimum technical specifications
(regarding and masonry, drainage disposal and control etc.) as laid down by
National Building Regulations, local Authority By-laws and the bank. Although
this document is not required for granting purposes, it is needed for valuation
and before any payments will be made.
• Waiver of Builder’s Lieu The building contractors has the right to retain the
keys of a building until he has been paid the full contract price. This right is
called the right of Builder’s Lieu. Due to this right, the builder’s claim will
take priority over the bank’s claim in a case where the homebuyer does not meet
his/her financial responsibilities and/or withdraws from the transaction. Banks
therefore require the builder’s right of retention to be waived in favour of the
bank (in writing); thereby making the bank the preferred creditor before any
payment will be made.
• Copy of Contractor’s NHBRC. NHBRC stands for National Home Builder’s
Registration Council. The NHBRC ensures that builders adhere to its quality
standards, and that buildings erected are free from major defects, thereby
minimizing the risk of the homebuyer and the banks. The cost for NHBRC enrolment
is 1,3 % of the contract price and is to be shown on the tender separately. The
banks insist that all building contractors should be enrolled with the NHBRC
before a building loan will be granted.
NOTE:
3. NHBRC enrollment is not required where:
- Any residential structure (home) is to be constructed with less than 75 % of
the floor area designed for residential purposes.
- Homes are built by bona fida owner builders
4. Bona Fide owner builder Is defined in terms of the Housing Consumers
Protection Measures Act as:
- Not in the business of home building; and
- Building a home for his/her own use; and
- Not using NHBRC registered home builder to assist him/her in the building
process.
A bona fide owner builder does not need to enroll with the NHBRC and does/need
not pay the enrollment fee of 1,3 %, but, if a person is building one or more
new homes a year (or every few years) on a part-time basis and then selling them
he/she is in the business of home building and therefore need to enroll with the
NHBRC.
N.B. Not all banks are prepared to do “Owner Builder” bonds. It is suggested
that consultants check regarding the attitude of a particular bank.
