All About Home Loans

To apply for a home loan, the following documents are typically required – 

– A completed and signed application form accompanied by a recent photograph

– Proof of identity and proof of residence

– Documentation related to credit and income

– Know Your Customer (KYC) documents

– Documentation pertaining to the property

In addition to the aforementioned documents, additional paperwork may be necessary based on whether the applicant is salaried or self-employed.

Loan Tenure – 

Home loans generally have a tenure ranging from 15 to 30 years. It is advisable to evaluate the loan tenure to ensure it aligns with the individual’s financial situation, as a longer tenure typically results in lower equated monthly installments (EMIs).

Borrowing Capacity – 

An individual’s borrowing capacity is influenced not only by their income but also by the amount remaining after covering all monthly expenses. This remaining amount is crucial for determining potential EMIs and overall borrowing capacity.

Insurance Cover – 

Acquiring a loan cover term insurance plan that corresponds to the loan amount is essential. Conducting thorough research to find the most suitable home loan insurance is vital, as it protects family members from the burden of any outstanding loan, with the insurance company covering the loan in case of unforeseen events.

Terms and Conditions of the Loan – 

It is imperative to carefully read and fully comprehend all terms and conditions associated with the loan prior to submitting an application.
