The worst time to find out your budget is after you’ve found the house.

If you’re planning to buy in Bloemfontein, get pre-approved through ooba before you start viewing. You’ll know your price range before you open a single listing. And when you make an offer, the seller can see you’ve already checked what you can afford. That counts for a lot when there’s more than one offer on the table.

It’s free, it takes a few minutes online, and it won’t affect your credit score.

How it works:
1️⃣ Check your credit score. Banks generally want 610 or higher.
2️⃣ See how much you could qualify for.
3️⃣ Get your Bond Indicator Certificate and view homes in your range.

Most buyers assume they need a fat deposit saved up before they can even start looking. That's not always true anymore. 🏠

Banks are approving more 100% home loans these days, which means some first-time buyers can qualify without paying a cent upfront. But here's the catch: plenty of sellers still write a deposit requirement into the offer to purchase, and if you don't read that contract properly, it can catch you completely off guard.

When you do pay a home deposit, it doesn't go to the seller. It sits in the transferring attorney's trust account, protected by law, until the property is registered in your name. And a bigger deposit isn't just about qualifying, it changes your monthly repayment and your negotiating power on interest rate.

Quick breakdown of what a deposit actually does for you:
- Improves your odds of bond approval
- Lowers your monthly instalment
- Reduces total interest over the loan term
- Strengthens your negotiating position with the bank
- Makes your offer more attractive to the seller

So, are you saving toward a deposit right now, or hoping to go the 100% bond route? Tell me in the comments 👇

Stop scrolling if you’re planning to buy a home this year! 🛑🏠

Before you spend hours browsing property listings online, there is one critical mistake most buyers make that costs them their dream home: searching before knowing their actual bank pre-approval amount.

Sellers and estate agents prioritize pre-approved buyers. If you find a home you love today, an offer from a pre-approved buyer will beat yours every single time.

The good news? Checking your buying power is fast, 100% FREE, and has zero impact on your credit score.

How it works in 3 simple steps:

Check Your Credit Score — See instantly if you meet the bank requirements (610+).

Calculate Your Bond — Find out your exact qualifying amount using the official ooba affordability calculator.

Get Certified — Receive your official ooba Bond Indicator Certificate and shop with complete confidence.

Selling your house? The deeds office doesn't care that you didn't know about this form. 📋

I've had sellers ready to list, only to find out they can't — because the Property Practitioners Act now requires a signed mandatory disclosure form before an agent can even take the mandate. No form, no listing, no exceptions.

Here's what else you'll need before your home is market-ready:

- A signed mandatory disclosure form
- Municipal rates clearance certificate (budget for roughly 3 months' rates upfront)
- Electrical compliance certificate, plus gas/fencing/plumbing certificates if applicable
- Sectional title? Add your scheme's conduct rules and a levy clearance statement
- Approved building plans, or a plan to sort out anything unapproved

Sort these documents needed to sell a house in South Africa before you list, and your sale moves a lot faster once an offer lands. 🏠

Signed up with two or three agents thinking it would help your house sell faster? It might be exactly what's slowing things down. 🏡

Here's the part a lot of Bloemfontein sellers miss: an open mandate can quietly turn into a "dual mandate" if you sign with a second agency before the first one has properly ended. Both stay legally active, and if a sale goes through, both can claim commission.

There's also the classic double commission trap. If two agents both claim they introduced the buyer, South African courts decide who was the "effective cause" of the sale — not who wrote the final offer. Sellers can end up owing full commission twice on one house.

What an open mandate can cost you:
- Inconsistent pricing and photos across agencies
- A real risk of double or dual commission disputes
- More strangers through your home on show days
- Less accountability if something goes wrong

A sole mandate gives one agent full responsibility for pricing, marketing, and security, and buyers in the Free State draw from the same pool no matter how many agencies you use. 📌

Have you ever dealt with a mandate dispute, or come close to one?
