For those whose income is too high to be considered for RDP housing will need to apply for a home loan in order to buy or build their own houses.
This however is easier said than done as with the new Credit Act home loans are only granted on affordability once all your usual expenses are taken into account.
So while the interest rates are at all time lows, lending institutions are extremely reluctant to grant home loans to applicants whose earnings are borderline.
