If the bank won't give you a mortgage loan, you could consider looking for another financial institution that will give you the loan. You can also try to negotiate with the bank and adjust certain conditions as to why they do not approve it, such as adding more employable income or equity. If there is no way to come to an agreement with the current financial institution, you can also consider working on your credit score before trying to take out a mortgage loan again.
What are the alternatives to a mortgage loan from the bank?
There are a number of alternative options for getting a mortgage loan from the bank. Some of these are:
- A loan with the help of family or friends (this can only be done if you are well organised and take responsibility);
- Mortgages through online platforms;
- Installment buying, by which you buy the house in instalments;
- Lease product, where you retain ownership but live under certain rules;
- First-buy schemes promoted by some governments to help first-time buyers with housing supply.
