Finance & Money

There is no question that one of the priorities of people who just got employed in their first job is to have a place they can call home. This often leads to either saving up for the initial deposit required to procure a loan, or trying to find a lender who would be willing to loan the amount to purchase that new dream home.

Those who have just been employed usually have a problem procuring loans. The reason is the banks and lenders see them as too much of a risk to lend to. In the first place, they have no proof of savings, as they are just starting to earn. They also have no proof of job stability, not having stayed in their job for long. Banks and lenders often require at least six months to a year of employment before they allow a person to get a home loan.

There are however a few lenders who can provide those on their first job with a loan on the first month, third month, sixth month, and in some cases even on their first day on the job. The amount of the loan can usually amount to up to 95% of the value of the property. Those who are granted these home loans are able to get to own and live in their house earlier, without taking time to save for a deposit. They are able to enjoy the comfort of their own home much earlier than usual.

However, the truth of the matter is that lenders are more conservative and would like to approve loans that are a low risk to them. Which is why those on their first jobs and are still on probation may have more difficulty than usual procuring a loan for themselves.
