Home Loans
This is the most common type of home loan. As the name suggests, these loans are meant for buying a new apartment, row house, or bungalow, from a developer or a development authority. You can use this type of loan to purchase under-construction or ready properties.
Home Construction Loan
You can avail a home construction loan if you already own a plot and require funds for the
construction
of the house on that land.
House Renovation Loan
If you already own a house and want to renovate it, you can apply for a house renovation loan. You can
use a house renovation loan for painting, tiling, roof repairs, etc.
Home Extension Loan
As your family grows, you may need a bigger house to accommodate all the members comfortably. A home
extension loan could be helpful in such a situation. You can get this type of loan to fund the cost of
adding a new room/floor to your home, extending the kitchen, building a new bathroom, etc.
Plot Loan
If you wish to buy a plot with the intention of constructing your own home in the future, you can
avail
a plot loan.
Balance Transfer Loan
Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) offer this unique service that allows you to transfer your existing
home loan from one lender to another. A Balance Transfer is usually done to get loans at a lower
interest rate, flexible repayment terms and some other benefits.
Eligibility Criteria for Home Loans
Current age & loan repayment tenure
Your age plays a vital role in determining home loan eligibility. The younger you are, the better your
chances of getting home loan approval. Also, when you are young, you can get a loan for a longer
duration.
Financial profile of the customer
Income stability and quantum of income significantly impact the amount you can borrow. Whether you are
a
salaried employee or self-employed, you must have a steady income.
Credit score
A high credit score and clean repayment records will enhance your chances of getting a faster loan
approval.
Other financial obligations
Lenders evaluate the existing liabilities such as personal loans, credit card bills, car loans, etc.,
to
ensure that you have the financial capacity to repay the home loan. If you have no liabilities, you
may
get your loan approved without any hassles.
