🔎 1. Choose a Pag-IBIG–Accredited Property

The first step is selecting a project that accepts Pag-IBIG financing. Many developers in Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Bulacan, and Metro Manila offer Pag-IBIG–accredited housing options.

Important notes:

Choose a trusted developer or licensed real estate agent.
Check the community’s location, accessibility, and future developments.
Ask for a sample computation for Pag-IBIG financing.
Verify if the project is officially Pag-IBIG accredited.

📝 2. Prepare All Required Documents

Pag-IBIG requires basic documents to verify your identity, income, and employment stability. Your agent can help guide you through the checklist.

Common requirements include:

Valid government IDs
Pag-IBIG Membership ID Number (MID)
Proof of Income (payslips, COE, ITR, job contract)
Birth Certificate or Marriage Certificate (if married)
Filled-out Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Application Form
Proof of Billing or Residence
Employment or Business documents for OFWs or self-employed

Important notes:

Make sure your Pag-IBIG contributions are up-to-date.
If not, you can pay retroactively to qualify.
OFWs may assign an Attorney-in-Fact for signing.

🧾 3. Submit Your Loan Application

Once the requirements are complete, your agent or developer will submit the documents to Pag-IBIG for evaluation.

Important notes:

Pag-IBIG may request additional documents.
Processing typically takes 17–30 working days.
You may be called for validation or verification.
Ensure all documents are properly signed and notarized.

💳 4. Understand Your Pag-IBIG Loan Terms

Pag-IBIG offers highly competitive loan terms, making it a top choice for buyers.

Pag-IBIG Loan Features:

Loan term: Up to 30 years
Low monthly amortization for long-term plans
Flexible interest rates depending on fixing period
Borrow up to ₱6 million, depending on capacity to pay

Important notes:

Choose a loan term that fits your monthly budget.
Longer terms = lower monthly payments but higher total interest.
Ensure your monthly amortization is at least 30–35% of your income.

🏡 5. Reservation, Equity Payments & Move-In Process

After loan approval, you can reserve your unit, pay the equity (if applicable), and proceed with contract signing.

Important notes:

Always keep receipts of equity and loan payments.
Check construction timelines if the unit is pre-selling.
Attend site trippings and inspections before turnover.
