There are thousands and thousands of borrowers that apply for a Pag-ibig housing loan, but not everyone gets their application approved. Here are some of the common pitfalls of applying for a Pag-Ibig housing loan, and how to avoid getting your application denied:
1) The amount on the Deed of Absolute Sale is less than the approved loan. The amount on the deed should never be less than the approved loan.
2) Applying for a loan to buy a property that has an encumbrance like mortgages, recorded abstracts of judgment, deeds of trust, unpaid real property taxes, easements, mechanic’s liens, and water or timber rights. All encumbrances are on record with the Recorder of Deeds or County Recorder. Before you execute the contract, verify with the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) if the property is acceptable to Pag-Ibig.
3) Improvements outside the house are not part of financing. Consult Pag-Ibig before you pursue the construction.
4) Loans get rejected if part of the bills of materials were reduced (e.g. the flooring and ceiling were deleted) just so it will fit the loan granted for construction. Simply follow the bill of materials evaluated by the HDMF.
5) When borrowers who are separated from their spouse apply for the loan without the signature of the husband or wife, the loan will get rejected. The spouse or wife should present legal separation papers before Pag-Ibig can accept the loan application.
Other than Pag-Ibig Fund, there are other institutions that offer home financing like the Social Security System, the Government Service Insurance System, and the Land Bank of the Philippines. For further inquiries on Pag-Ibig housing loans, call the Pag-Ibig hotline at 724-4244.
Ayala Land Premiere has been working on creating the first leisure community in the north, and now the beautiful Anvaya Cove in Morong, Bataan is now open for viewing. Boasting of 320 hectares of land area, Anvaya Cove also has a 3.5km coastline with two private coves, as well as rolling hills of narra trees, mango trees, and bamboo groves. Like the rest of Ayala Land’s planned communities, Anvaya Cove will have low-impact development to preserve the natural beauty of the land. This means that all homeowners will have breathtaking views of the ocean and a chance to ecologically interact with birds and wildlife.

Yesterday, I went to check out the model units at Circulo Verde, a 12-hectare master-planned development by Ortigas designed to bring the essence and charm of a small town into the spirit of the big city.
The concept behind Circulo Verde is that residents will always be within walking distance from an open space, whether it be a park or river access.
And despite being surrounded by the beauty of nature, residents will also find modern conveniences within the neighborhood.
I’m actually not concerned about how pretty the development will look like or the amenities offered; all I want is a well-lit place of my own that’s safe and easy to access through public transport. The problem with Circulo Verde is that it’s a bit far from the nearest MRT station (Santolan) and to get to C5, you’ll have to take a tricycle. What I do love about Circulo Verde is that each room is spacious, well-designed, and come with easy payment terms. I took a look at the one-bedroom flat and one-bedroom loft units yesterday and I’m very impressed with what they’ve got.
