You can obtain a home loan by pledging collateral. A home loan is repaid through EMIs (equated monthly instalments), and after the completion of the repayment procedure, the bank transfers the property's title back to you. The lender of the home loan – a bank, NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company), or any other financial institution – possesses the legal right to recover the outstanding loan amount by selling the property if the borrower is unable to repay the dues.
A home loan, offered by a bank or a housing finance company, finances 70% to 90% of a property's cost. You must pay the remaining amount of the property's market value as a down payment. To know the amount the bank will finance via a home loan and the amount you must pay as a down payment, you can consult Metra Trust's home loan EMI calculator.
You can use a home loan to finance your purchase of any property. It includes purchasing a piece of land, a property under construction, a property that has been used before, or a new property. A home loan can also finance the remodelling and renovation of your property.
As a home loan borrower, you can choose between two interest rates offered by banks and housing finance companies – a fixed interest rate and a floating interest rate. A home loan availed at a fixed interest rate has an interest rate that remains unchanged throughout the tenure of the loan. It means that regardless of the volatility of the real estate market, your home loan EMI remains the same.
On the other hand, a floating interest rate changes according to the changing applicable interest rates in the real estate market. Hence, depending on the increase or decrease in the demand for home loans in the market, your home loan EMI will keep changing. If you have opted for a floating interest rate, you must remain updated about your current home loan EMI rate.
The repayment cycles of home loans can last as long as 30 years. The monthly EMI of a home loan with a longer tenure is less and, hence, more affordable.
Among the many benefits of availing yourself of a home loan is the chance to save on taxes.
Some factors affecting your home loan application are your present age, the number of working years remaining, and your monthly income. The following are the eligibility criteria for salaried individuals who wish to apply for a home loan:
