Fortunately, with Capitec’s home loan, it’s not. They offer a 100% home loan option that doesn’t require any deposit, which can be beneficial for first-time homebuyers or those who may not have significant savings for a deposit. This also means that the borrower doesn’t have to dip into their savings to pay for the deposit, allowing them to have more financial flexibility. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that although a deposit may not be necessary, it may still be a good idea to put down a deposit to reduce the overall loan amount and monthly payments.
