Frequently Asked Questions

What does a bond originator do?

A bond originator compares home loan offers from multiple banks on your behalf, helping you secure the best interest rate and approval terms without having to applying individually to each bank.

Is it free to use Bond Gallery Cape Town?

Yes. Our service is completely free to clients. We are compensated by the bank once your bond is successfully registered.

Do you assist first-time home buyers?

Absolutely. We specialise in helping first-time buyers secure their first home loan with the best possible result, offering guidance, advice and support throughout the process.

How long does bond approval take?

Most bond approvals are received within a few working days, depending on the complexity of the application, documentation required and the banks business volumes. However, each application is unique and more complex applications take longer.

Bond Gallery Cape Town was really amazing and i truly believe if it wasn’t for your quick work we would not have gotten the house as there were two offers pending on it already and time was a huge factor. You really went the extra mile (even after hours) to help us secure our home loan. It was such a stress-free process having you deal with everything. We can’t thank you enough

Aan die span van Bond Gallery Cape Town Baie baie dankie vir julle hulp om tot hier te kom, ja ons is baie gelukkig en sou dit nie sonder julle kon gedoen het nie!

Beste Etienne & Bond Gallery span In terme van julle diens aan ons... Geen woorde kan eens ons opregte DANK en WAARDERING uitspreek nie... Omdat jul professionele hantering van die hele proses, van die begin af, so uitmuntend was, dat ons alreeds in gewone gesprekke met vriende en familie gesels het oor jul werksetiek en die moontlik maak van ons droom om die woonstel te kon koop. Ons dien regtig te meld die EKSTRA myl wat geloop was om selfs 'n goeie rentekoers namens ons te kon beding... was prysloos! Weereens, BAIE DANKIE!

I will not hesitate to refer any family member or friend to your offices in the future.

“Bond Gallery Cape Town came in on the last minute to save the day when not even my personal banker was able to help me. If it was not for your team, we would not have gotten our bond and we would have missed our new family home.”

Etienne and the Bond Gallery Cape Town team Thank you very much for all the assistance, advise, time and patience. We had a very good experience with you from start to end. We really appreciate it thank you. Keep up the good work We are very excited to move in tomorrow!

Thank you so much Bond Gallery Cape Town, and thanks for all your help with obtaining a bond for me. I would not have been able to do it, never mind, in time, if it wasn’t for your help and coaching along the way. It’s a nightmare process, at the best of times, and over Christmas, even worse! You helped to make it easier and took away most of the stress. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone, and in fact, have been singing your praises to everyone I speak to, as I would most definitely not have managed to secure this property in time, if it wasn’t for your help.

Thank you so much for all your assistance in obtaining my very first bond for my new home. It was really such a pleasant experience working with you and you delivered efficient and excellent service. I will gladly review and recommend your excellent service! Much appreciation to you and your team for all your help.

I first approached Bond Gallery Cape Town in 2015, and Etienne always provided sound advice and guidance based on his extensive experience on bonds, banks and everything in between after I was referred to him by another happy customer. Over the past 5 years, Etienne has been my number 1 source of information and advice, so when it became clear that I was in the financial position to enter the property market, there was only one company I was interested in working with. Bond Gallery Cape Town have been a huge help in securing my new bond, advising me on interest rates and when to "pull the trigger" - As a first-time buyer this advice is critical, without that knowledge you can end up paying much more than you need to. With Etienne and his team in your corner, you really can't go wrong. I highly recommend them as a team and Bond Gallery as a highly customer-focused company which has always provided the correct information, with urgency. I wish you guys all the best, until we work together again!

“Bond Gallery Cape Town was recommended by a good friend of ours that also made use of their services a few months ago and we couldn’t be happier with the service and results we got at the end, buying a house is not for the faint hearted, however Etienne and his team were amazing with their professional help, feedback and reassurance during this whole process. We can definitely recommend them to anyone for sound professional advice and assistance in getting an approved Bond and owning your dream home. Thank you BGCT. “

We're incredibly grateful to the Bond Gallery Cape Town team for their outstanding support in helping us secure a bond for our apartment. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. Their guidance and dedication made all the difference, and we truly appreciate the effort they put into making this a success. Thank you for being part of this important journey!
