We get it, the word "mortgage" might sound all serious but hey! Worry not! We are here to break it all down for you.
Let's kick things off with the basics. What is a mortgage? A mortgage is a loan that you get to purchase a home and the unit you’re purchasing is the security used to get the money. It's how most folks afford to snag their dream digs without needing a mountain of cash upfront.
So, you're ready to buy your first home? Congratulations! Homeownership is a dream for many Kenyans, but navigating the mortgage maze can feel like trying to find a matatu during rush hour.
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing money for your home, expressed as a percentage of your loan amount. It can significantly impact your monthly payments and the total amount you'll pay over the life of your mortgage.
First things first, CRB stands for Credit Reference Bureau. It's not some secret society, I promise! 😂 As Angela Mwirigi, our Director- Digital Financial Services explains, "There are three of them actually, main ones in Kenya. Credit reference bureaus and by the way, it's a wonderful thing for Kenya."
