Worry-free Pre-qualification of Potential Real Estate Buyers

Pre-qualification of buyers for any purchases which involves a big sum are usually stringent.  Financing institutions are now very strict, especially in the advent of the pressing economic crisis, which has directly affected the payment habits of the people.  They are extra-ordinarily careful especially for potential real estate buyer.  In fact, most financing institutions, at present, have set standards of prequalification and even prequalification procedures.

The sales and marketing of real estate property are usually done by licensed and accredited real estate brokers/agents.  The prospecting for clients is also done by themselves.  Everything will be swift with cash purchases but a detailed procedure will be done if done through mortgage facility.

Usually for application for real estate mortgages, financial institutions have their in-house credit investigators to do the pre-qualification of potential buyers.  A set of standard parameters served as basis for approval or disapproval of the loan mortgage.

Basic criteria for pre-qualifying a potential real estate buyer include one’s purchasing power or financial resources available to pay the loan for the property.  How do financial institutions establishes the fact that you enough money to buy a piece of property?  For now, they require prospective buyers to submit financial documents such as bank statements, pay slips, income tax returns, employment certificates an employment contracts and other legal instruments which would reflect your income.  Other institution also requires a potential buyer to submit photocopies of other real estate properties just to support that one is really qualified to avail of a real estate mortgage. 

There are established formulae that these financials institutions follow to exactly determine if one has really the capacity to pay-out this property.  A required amount from one’s disposable income, sometimes, becomes the basis for approval or disapproval for the application of real estate mortgage.

Alongside with one’s capacity to pay is an intervening factor which financial institution looks into; and this is the personal circumstance of the potential buyer.  This is very important since the applicant is the principal debtor he must be in a very stable condition until such time that he is able to fully pay the entire loan.  This criterion seeks to determine the longevity of stability of the principal debtor or the potential owner.  This criterion usually examines: tenure of work, position in the family (whether a bread winner or youngest or supporting other siblings), physical health conditions and other intervening factors which may directly affect the capacity to pay of the potential buyer. 

Finally, like any other credit facility, one’s credit history and payment habits will seal the deal.  One has to have a clean track record of not missing any mortgage payment or loan repayments.  This will reflect the stability of one’s financial management and discipline.  One should have strong and straight credit character and positive credit scorecard before applying or accessing a huge amount loan facility for a real estate property.
