You need to know the mistakes to avoid before venturing into a mortgage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transaction can be a good one, provided you make smart choices about the home you buy and the<a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/mortgage-what-you-need-to-know\/\">\u00a0<\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/mortgage-what-you-need-to-know\/\">mortgage loan<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0you take on. Or, it can be a financial disaster that hurts your ability to accomplish financial goals at best and leads to foreclosure at worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To maximize the chances of the former occurring and your home turning out both to be a nice place to live and a good investment, you must avoid some big mortgage mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not getting pre-approved for a loan<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/prequalified-vs-preapproved-why-it-matters\/\">Pre-approval <\/a>&#8212; which is different from <a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/prequalified-vs-preapproved-why-it-matters\/\">pre-qualification<\/a> &#8212; is a process that involves a mortgage lender doing a preliminary check of your credit report and other financial details to determine if you&#8217;ll be able to qualify for a mortgage and how much you can borrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting <a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/prequalified-vs-preapproved-why-it-matters\/\">pre-approved<\/a> helps you determine how much house you can afford so you won&#8217;t waste time shopping for a home that&#8217;s too expensive. You&#8217;ll also be a more competitive buyer when you include a<a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/prequalified-vs-preapproved-why-it-matters\/\"> pre-approval<\/a> letter with your offer since sellers will know you&#8217;re serious and likely to be able to close the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basing the amount you borrow on what the bank says you can afford<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get <a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/prequalified-vs-preapproved-why-it-matters\/\">pre-approved<\/a> for a mortgage &#8212; or apply for a loan &#8212; the bank will decide how much it&#8217;s willing to lend you. In many cases, however, the loan the bank approves you for may be larger than the amount you had planned to borrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it can be tempting to upgrade your expectations and buy a costlier home if the bank agrees to give you more money, resist the urge to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, decide how much you can comfortably afford to spend by looking at your budget and your other financial goals. Then, stick to this limit &#8212; even if the bank is willing to give you more &#8212; so you don&#8217;t end up house poor and forced to scrimp on other priorities that are important to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not shopping around for the best rates<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a small difference in<a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/discussing-mortgage-rates-in-kenya\/\">\u00a0<\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/discussing-mortgage-rates-in-kenya\/\">mortgage rates<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0can make a big impact. For example, a Kes 3,000,000 mortgage at 4.0% interest would have a total cost of Kes 515,609 and your monthly payments would be Kes14,320. However, at 4.25%, your total cost for the same Kes 3,000,000 mortgage would be Kes 544,016 and your monthly payments would be Kes 15,110. Each year, you&#8217;d pay almost Kes 1,000 more in payments &#8212; and your loan would cost you almost Kes 300,000 more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be big differences from one lender to the other in terms of the interest rate you&#8217;re charged, so get several quotes from trusted lenders before you decide who you&#8217;ll be paying back for the next few decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Taking out a new loan before your mortgage closes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying a house can be a time-consuming process, and you may find yourself facing expenses associated with moving. You may be tempted to take out a new loan to finance new furniture or a moving truck or may decide to put a bunch of big costs on your credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only problem is, this could affect your debt utilization ratio and potentially impact your ability to close on your mortgage. Until you&#8217;ve actually signed the papers and your home purchase has been completed, refrain from doing anything that affects the amount lest you run into this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Switching jobs before you close on your loan<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Switching jobs could also raise<a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/key-considerations-before-taking-a-mortgage\/\"> red flags with lenders<\/a> and could cause your mortgage approval to be rescinded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lenders want <a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/key-considerations-before-taking-a-mortgage\/\">proof of employment<\/a> and they consider only steady, reliable income when determining how much you can borrow. A last-minute change in your work situation could cause your deal to fall apart, so try to stay in your position until you close on your loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of these mistakes can be avoided. Errors do occur but you need to be informed to avoid making mistakes that can potentially make you lose financing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you borrow for your home, you&#8217;ll likely be taking on hundreds of thousands of shillings in debt that it will take well over a decade for you to repay.
