Andrea Carr on credit scores for home loan approval
While speaking to Briefly News, financial and homeownership advisor Andrea Carr shared insight importance of credit scores when applying for a home loan and how to improve them.
"Your credit score is very important when applying for a home loan in South Africa. It directly affects your chances of approval, the interest rate you’ll get, and the loan amount a bank is willing to offer you."

Here’s how it works, according to advisor Andrea Carr:
Minimum credit score for a home loan
- A score above 600 gives you a decent chance of approval.
- 650+ increases your chances significantly and may get you a better interest rate.
- 700+ is considered excellent and gives you access to the best rates.
- Below 580, most banks will reject your application or offer very high interest rates.
How it affects your interest rate
- A higher score means a lower interest rate, which can save you hundreds of thousands over the loan term.
- A lower score means the bank sees you as a risk, so they increase the interest rate or ask for a higher deposit.
What banks look at
Besides your credit score, banks consider:
- Your income and affordability (your debt-to-income ratio).
- Your employment status and stability.
- Your existing debts and monthly expenses.
- The deposit you can put down (a higher deposit improves approval chances).
How to improve your score before applying
Check your score for free on TransUnion, Experian, or ClearScore.
- Pay all bills on time, especially loans and credit cards.
- Reduce your debt-to-income ratio by paying off existing debt.
- Avoid opening new credit accounts right before applying.
- Increase your credit limit, but don’t use it excessively—this improves your credit utilisation ratio.
SA claps for the young lady's achievement
The clip quickly went viral, amassing thousands of views, likes, and comments. South Africans were impressed not only by the beauty of the apartment but also by the woman’s hard work and determination that led to this major life milestone.
