Sentinel Homes model is based on instalment sale finance, the same concept used to finance motor vehicles and other movable consumer goods. By innovatively applying the concept to provide home finance, buyers can obtain finance of up to 95% of the purchase price of a home.

The monthly instalment will be identical to what a bank’s bond payment would have been within the same parameters
Sentinel Home Loans are structured like car loans – with instalment sales agreements, also known as hire-purchase.
Unlike with a bank home loan, Sentinel remains the registered owner of the property until the final instalment is paid. This has no practical effect on the homeowner as long as the instalments are paid. If the buyer defaults, an arrangement must be made with Sentinel immediately to address the arrears.
Although Sentinel amortises the total amount financed over 240 months, the balance is due in full as a balloon payment after 120 months. Homebuyers can settle the balance either with their own capital or a bank loan, or they can sell their home. It may also be possible to extend the loan from Sentinel.
