Helping Clients Secure Government Subsidy Housing

15 Dec Steps to Apply for FLISP with FirstHouse Assistance

Posted at 13:31h in Latest News by

Is homeownership the next big step in your life, provided you qualify for a suitable housing subsidy? At FirstStep Housing, we help South Africans apply for the FLISP housing subsidy, designed to empower the GAP market to afford their first homes. We know what it means to own a property and establish a strong foundation for your family’s future.

Using FLISP when buying property with family can mean the difference between a manageable mortgage and struggling financially. Most households in South Africa cannot afford to repay a full bond and will not qualify for home loans in the traditional sense. This is why housing alternatives matter, giving families a fair chance to enter the property market.

FLISP allows shortfall solutions, bridging the gap to homeownership. FirstStep Housing can assist you with your application, as long as you meet the qualifying criteria. These are the steps to apply for FLISP with FirstHouse Assistance:

Check If You Qualify

To be eligible for FLISP, you must earn a combined monthly household income of between R3,500 and R22,000. This subsidy is only available to South Africans or permanent residents of the country, who can present a valid permit or ID. To apply, you must be 18 or older. Please also note that you cannot apply for FLISP if you have received a housing subsidy before or owned a home before.

Steps to Apply for FLISP with FirstHouse Assistance

Secure an Offer To Purchase (OTP)

Before we can assist you with your FLSIP application, you must present us with an OTP or sales agreement for the property you want to buy. If you’re planning to build a home, we will need you to provide a building contract and approved building plans through an NHBRC-registered home builder.

Gather All Required Documents

These are the documents we require from you:

  • Signed OTP/Sales Agreement of the home you plan to buy
  • ID documents of each prospective buyer
  • Three most recent payslips of all prospective buyers
  • Birth certificates for minor dependants within your household
  • Marriage certificate and divorce certificate/settlement, if applicable
