FLISP policy revised | 'No need for a home loan to obtain government subsidy'

National Minister of Human Settlements, Mmamoloko Kubayi announced that the Finance Linked Individual Subsidy (FLISP) has been delinked and is no longer just a mortgage only option.

Furthermore, partnerships were established with external role-players such as financial institutions, conveyancing attorneys and property developers, granting them access to the Housing Subsidy System (HSS) which allows them to capture and monitor the progress of applications. The result is a drastically improved turnaround time for processing these applications.

The FLISP programme is a housing subsidy to assist qualifying first-time home buyers with purchasing a home. The subsidy is paid directly to the conveyancing attorney or financial institution and can be used as a deposit to buy a home, or to pay such into an existing home loan and reduce the monthly instalments.

“Households with an income between R3 501 to R22 000 may qualify for the FLISP subsidy if they meet all the criteria, such as being a first-time buyer with a financial dependent and a South African citizen. The current subsidies range from R121 626 to R27 960.00. This may also increase,” says Meyer de Waal, a conveyancing attorney of Cape Town��whose mission it was over the past eight years to assist first time buyers to gain access to a home loan and assist with a FLISP subsidy application.

“Since FLISP’s inception in 2005, the approval of the subsidy was always linked to finance in the format of an approved home loan from either one of the major financial institutions such as ABSA, Standard Bank, FNB, Nedbank or SAHL.”

“The announcement by the National Minister of Human Settlements, Mmamoloko Kubayi during a virtual briefing to National Council of Provinces (NCOP) that as from 1 April 2022, the Finance Linked Individual Subsidy (FLISP) has been delinked and no longer just a mortgage is the only option, is a very welcome development,” says de Waal.

“Often in the past, we considered giving up as the barriers to entry for a first-time buyer were too difficult to overcome,” says de Waal.  “We welcome Minister Kubayi’s announcement, and are glad that we persevered and today can provide a comprehensive FLISP first time buyer assistance that includes home loan and or non-mortgage linked finance application services.” 

According to de Waal, partnerships in the private sector were established over the past years, and these are now the foundation of a comprehensive service to first-time buyers mortgage originators, attorneys, estate agents as well as such service to the Department of Human Settlements and the NHFC to provide comprehensive FLISP application submissions.

Establishing partnerships in the private sector to aid first time buyers

“We reached out to other industry stakeholders in the legal fraternity, such as LexisNexis and formed a partnership with them to promote FLISP applications through their extensive conveyancing attorney network,” explains de Waal.

“Through the Gawie Le Roux Institute of Law we also hosted FLISP information sessions and more combined workshops are planned.”

The Attorney Realtor Hub, through 13 branches on a national scale are also assisting their buyers and sellers with this service.  

Up to 31 March 2022, only the Western Cape allows for the payment of conveyancing fees from the FLISP subsidy proceeds, says Chris Fick of Attorney Realtor Hub.

Often a buyer does not have the funds available to pay for conveyancing fees and the new FLISP policy will be expanded on a national level to accommodate the payment of conveyancing fees as well.

Estate agents

FLISP information sessions and events facilitated through the Institute for Estate Agents (IEASA) were hosted and further events are planned.

“The estate agents must have comprehensive knowledge of the subsidies available for first time buyers as this aids them in concluding a successful property transaction,” says Annette Evans of IEASA.

Technology

To accommodate the onboarding of thousands of home loan applications per month, cutting-edge Property and Fintech technology were developed in a partnership with 4Me.Tech. This same technology is now applied to aid buyers with non-mortgage-linked financial applications and a FLISP subsidy.

What changed?– the new de-linked flisp policy as from 1 april 2022

As from 1 April you no longer need a finance approval from one of the major financial institutions, explains Anele Matakane of MDW INC property & home finance services.

Now, a buyer can qualify for a first-time buyer FLISP subsidy if they have financial assistance to buy a property in the form of:

·         The beneficiary’s pension/provident fund loan.

·         A co-operative or community-based savings scheme, i.e. stokvel

·         The Government Employees Housing Scheme.

·         Any other Employer-Assisted Housing Scheme.

·         An unsecured loan.

·         An Instalment Sale Agreement or Rent-to-own Agreement.

“Our mortgage origination license with one of the largest mortgage origination companies provides financial assistance to up to eight traditional home loan lenders,” says Matakane.

This also includes non-mortgage finance which is a unique offering to the industry.  All the property finance solutions are under one roof.

“For non-finance linked applications, we have taken hands with 4.Me.Tech to provide a one-stop-shop service to assist buyers with every type of finance solution available, all such types of finance that are now available with the National Housing Code.”

What about late applications or existing home owners?

Unfortunately, many first-time buyers did not know about the opportunity to apply for a FLISP subsidy and never applied. However, this may now change with the new policy as retrospective applications may be considered as soon as the new guidelines are made available.

Flisp calculator and flisp pre-qualification voucher before you buy

As per the new National Housing Code, a FLISP pre-qualification guarantee can be issued to a first-time buyer by the Implementation Agencies appointed by the Government.

According to Jacques Theron of 4Me.Tech, their technology enables them to issue a first-time buyer with a FLISP Voucher before they start the home buying process.

“After an applicant signs up on our online platform and answers a few qualifying questions, the technology does the rest and a FLISP Voucher is issued to provide an accurate estimate of the subsidy the home buyer can qualify for.”

The Flisp Voucher can then be validated through HSS integrations with the Department of Human Settlements or the systems of the NHFC as per a working relationship with these institutions.

Next step – what finance can one qualify for?

A FLISP Voucher is the first step to take, and the first-time buyer can then establish how much finance can be obtained to buy a home with the combination of the FLISP subsidy and the finance granted and available.

“Our online property finance pre-qualification estimator provides an outcome in real time and also provides a FLISP Subsidy Voucher that can be validated,” says Jacques Theron of 4Me.Tech.

Not only is the first-time buyer assisted to compare finance through a home loan, but also to all of the non-mortgage linked financial services that will be available as from 1 April.

“We realised a first-time buyer, with no or little experience to buy a property and shop around for the most appropriate property finance will be very confused if all the finance options are not presented on one easy to navigate platfor,” says Theron.

“The first-time buyer can also be lured to take up non-mortgage finance that he or she may not be able to afford. Once the finance is taken up and a home bought, it may land the new homeowner in financial difficulties if the monthly repayments cannot be met.”

That is why the online platform with a quick credit score and affordability self-check for the buyer was developed.  The outcome is available in real time and the data extracted from a business relationship with an established credit bureau, explains Theron.

Raising finance, in any form, is a home loan or non-mortgage linked finance application, a first-time buyer will still have to comply with the strict rules of the lending practices and guidelines as per the National Credit Act.

“Up to 50% of home buyers are unsuccessful from the start due to a low or a bad credit score,” says de Waal. “If I look at the +/- 340 000 applications who were processed over the past 36 months, more than 185 000 aspiring buyers were unable to even be considered for a home loan, due to a low, thin, or bad credit score.

If a finance application is declined, a first-time buyer will not be able to receive a FLISP subsidy.”

“Thanks to a partnership with My Budget Fitness, we can enable the first-time buyer with a low, thin, or bad credit score to receive assistance to improve his or her credit score and get back to apply for finance as soon as the credit score is strong and healthy,'' says de Waal.

“This service has already been made available since 2017 to a leading financial institution that specialise in unsecured lending, as assistance for their own employees.”

“We are elated that the rent-to-own concept and installment sales were also added in the National Housing Code,” says de Waal.

The Rent2buy programme was developed in 2007 and is geared towards helping first-time buyers to get their foot in the door to own their own homes. A year or two later, installment sales were also added to aid buyers to get their foot in the door to own their own properties.

Private partnerships were established with property development companies such as Sinai Property Developers and Communicare to aid first time buyers to own their own home, and more property development companies are expected to follow and make available their stock to these types of innovative property solutions.

“We already have access to non-banking finance available for buyers who struggle to convince a traditional bank to grant them a home loan,” says de Waal.

Bolívia avisa Brasil e Argentina que crise pode afetar fornecimento de gás natural #paraisonline RIO E BUENOS AIRES - A estatal petrolífera boliviana YPFB informou à Petrobras e à companhia de integração energética da Argentina, Ieasa, que a crise política na Bolívia agravada pela renúncia do presidenteEvo Morales no domingo pode atrapalhar o fluxo normal de gás para o país vizinho, com flutuações no volume transportado ou interrupções. No entanto, a estatal brasileira e a empresa argentina sediada em Buenos Aires informaram nesta terça-feira que, até o momento, o envio do combustível segue normalizado. A Petrobras, uma das principais compradoras do gás natural boliviano, por meio do Gasoduto Brasil-Bolívia (Gasbol), informou que recebeu, na última segunda-feira, um comunicado da YPFB sobre eventual variação na entrega de gás, o que não foi registrado até agora, segundo a companhia: “Na situação atual, não há impacto no suprimento de gás natural da Bolívia para a Petrobras”, informou, em nota. Nesta terça-feira, a YPFB enviou uma carta de teor parecido à argentina Ieasa, explicando que um grupo de pessoas tomou um campo de produção e estações de bombeamento da empresa e que não descartava a invasão de outras instalações de produção ou de transporte de gás natural. No entanto, a empresa boliviana usa a expressão "força maior" para justificar eventual descumprimento do contrato. “A YPFB, ao encontrar-se impedida de cumprir suas obrigações no marco do contrato de compra a e venda de gás natural, por um evento fora de seu controle, invoca a liberação do cumprimento de suas obrigações devido a um evento de força maior/caso fortuito”, informou a carta da empresa boliviana. Fontes do setor no Brasil foram informados de que houve uma tentativa de invasão de manifestantes no campo de Carrasco, em Chapare, na região central da Bolívia, que teria sido contida pelo exército boliviano. Essa área, que faz parte do departamento de Cochabamba, é um conhecido reduto eleitoral de Morales. De acordo com uma fonte, o exército boliviano já teria contido o protesto. https://www.instagram.com/p/B40qYTWH1BI/?igshid=12xqsfe4q3avc
