These services cover the full spectrum of home ownership and home financing – from origination and credit approval through to registration and ongoing loan servicing. The company was launched to South African home owners in February 1999 and is today a proven entrepreneurial success story, having originated well over 100 000 residential loans in under a decade.

In these short years, against formidable competitors, we have grown to become the country’s fifth largest home loans provider.

What Makes Us Different?

SA Home Loans offers a fresh alternative for home buyers. We’re mortgage specialists who are 100% focused on offering you home financing that stays in tune with your changing needs.

We’re not a Bank

We take the time to find out your needs, we’ll come to you, and take all the hassle out of mortgage finance. We work with you to find the right product options for your needs.

History Of SA Home Loans

A SUCCESS STORY IN HOME FINANCING

The launch of SA Home Loans to the South African public in February 1999 was perfect timing. Interest rates at 23.5% were at an all time high and ‘saving money’ was top of mind for cash-strapped South Africans. SA Home Loans introduced a dramatically-discounted rate of 19.6%, offering consumers a stupendous alternative.

By 2001 competitors began to take SA Home Loans seriously and, to defend their shrinking market share, were forced to reduce their rates considerably. This created a healthy, competitive environment in home loan financing from which buyers are still benefiting.

In 2003 when the banks’ prime rate dropped from 17% to 11.5%, SA Home Loans ended the year at an all-time low of 9.5% – the first home financing company to offer rates below 10% in over 22 years!

Another major marketing breakthrough occurred in 2005 when SA Home Loans pioneered another first – VariFix, a 20-year fixed rate home loan which can see rates can go down, but never up! This is unique in the world.

While low rates were an initial priority, resulting in rewarding inroads into the market and, more interestingly, significant ‘switching’ of mortgages, SA Home Loans recognised the real need of home buyers to be treated with the respect and attention they deserve.

Buyers resented being regarded as ‘a number’ and made to feel they needed to beg for finance. Providing complementary home loan products such as insurance and bridging finance, and superlative, personal, service became an equal priority. Unlike those who pay lip-service to that overworked phrase ‘we care’, SA Home Loans genuinely cares about its clients.
