FLISP / First Home Finance subsidy

First Home Finance (formerly FLISP) assists buyers earning R3,501–R22,000 per month. The subsidy scales from roughly R130,505 (lowest band) down to R30,001 (highest band) on a sliding scale and is paid toward your deposit or bond. Figures follow the published NHFC scale; confirm the current amount with the NHFC before relying on it.
