What is a Bond? Start here...

By Graham McKenzie

You already have a bond so what do you need a second one for? Simple, you have ideas of expanding or renovating the property and you once again need assistance from the bank. Banks are always willing to help, just know that they will likely charge a high down payment once again.

Banks want to lend money. In fact, it's one of their primary ways they stay in business and a founding pillar. Holding bonds allow the bank to make a long-term profit. It also allows the bank to own property until the lender has fully paid off the loan.

Taking out a new mortgage is a straightforward process, much like the first time you took out a loan for your property.

The current mortgage crisis has resulted from banks, especially in the United States, becoming too lenient in who they offer mortgages too. In fact, sometimes banks allowed people to take out mortgages with little down. They are now paying the price, and as a result, must only offer new mortgages with a high down payment.

When considering such a request, the bank will follow the procedures that they would do when granting a new mortgage, but with one or two minor differences. If you plan on renovating your current property and just need help via a loan, the bank will request you submit estimates from professional contractors. Banks are much more inclined to grant the money if professionals will work on the renovation and not yourself.

After you provide the bank with all the details, they will sit down and study your case. The bank needs to decide if you really need the money and if you will be able to pay it off. It's difficult paying off one bond much less two.

Banks who issue bonds are entitled to ask for banks statements and details of income of both parties in the case of a joint bond against a property. You have no option here. While you may not like disclosing your personal information, the bank must closely examine and judge whether or not you can afford the bond.

If you meet the bond's criteria, have a stable job and ample income, the bond is probably only a signature or two away. Just make sure allow the bank plenty of time to examine the bond request and you think it through intensely.
