Preparation improves your chances of getting successful in whatever you do. Buying a home needs preparation because if you don’t prepare, you might find that you miss out on for an example FLISP, the government subsidy for the first time home buyer and that could be as high as R121 626. A home loan is a  20 – year agreement and sometimes a 30 –  year agreement so if you want to do it right and NOT find yourself regretting soon after you have signed the Offer to Purchase [OTP], it is best that you arm yourself with as much information as possible. For instance, what if the estate agent wants to charge you a penalty because you signed an OTP and now you don’t have money to pay transfer and bond registration costs?
