Frequently Asked Questions
1.    Why can’t the Sacco just appoint a valuer and a lawyer for the process? The cost of the lawyer and the valuer is borne by the member hence the member has to negotiate the rate directly for transparency.
2.    I do not know any lawyers or valuers to enable me to choose from the list shared. What do I do? The Sacco has an approved list of valuers and can assist by setting up a conference call to enable conversations.
3.    How long will it take for me to get the loan? The process takes a month due to the securitization process and external parties involved.
4.    What portion of the value of the land will be used to secure the loan? For a developed property we take 75% of the valuation plus accumulated savings for the member. For vacant or undeveloped land in urban areas we take 60% plus accumulated savings for the member. For agricultural land we take 50% plus accumulated savings for the member.
5.    What portion of the value of the Motor vehicle will be used to secure the loan? We take 60% of the valuation plus accumulated savings for the member, however where the application falls under asset    the percentage might be up to 90% depending on the condition of the car.
6.    Does year of manufacture affect use of motor vehicle as security? Yes, it does as the Sacco only allows motor vehicles within 12 years of year of manufacture to be used as security.
7.    If using land as security that has property already built am I required to have the house insured? Yes, a member will be required to provide proof of comprehensive insurance of the property. The Sacco is also able to facilitate provision of the insurance at the member’s cost.
8.    If using Motor Vehicle as security am I required to have it insured? Yes, proof of a comprehensive insurance is required to be provided before loan is disbursed. The Sacco is also able to facilitate provision of the insurance at the member’s cost.
9.    Can I use a joint owned property or a third-party property as security? Yes, you can and the same procedure for securitization will apply, save that the charge will contain additional requirement for the co-joint owner to give his consent to the charge through an official affidavit and Personal guarantee and Indemnity.
