Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.
Do you still need help here?

Answer to the Question
I assume then that your girlfriend is the applicant for the loan application with your bank for the R1m? And that the bank has asked your girlfriend to put up security for the loan, and that you have offered to allow the bank to register a mortgage bond over your property as security?
Surely the house will be registered in only your name? In other words, you fill in your name on the offer to purchase, and you sign all of the documents with the transferring attorneys?
You can then arrange for the debit order for your girlfriend's loan to come off your account each month.
But why don't you take out the loan yourself? If you can afford it, and you're putting in R2.5m cash, the bank should be happy granting a loan of R1m to you.
