Types of Home Loan

  • This is the basic type of Home Loan involving buying a Home directly from the developer.
  • Banks normally finance 80% of the aggregate cost of property ( i.e other costs incl Stamp Duty, Registration, Maintenance Deposit etc).
  • Normally developers projects are pre-approved with various banks. This means Banks have already checked & cleared the Project from Legal aspects.
  • Banks release money to developer depending upon progress of work at site.
  • Here Banks will critically check the age and condition of the House. That is to ensure that Home being purchased has sufficient residual life.
  • Legal scrutiny of the Property needs to be carried out independently.
  • This type of loan is for the renovation or repair of the home which is already bought
  • This type of loan is for the Extension/expansion of the home which is already bought, like adding extra Room to a flat or an extra Floor to Bungalow.
  • This type of loan taken when the borrower wants to construct a new house on a Plot which is already in possession of applicant.
  • In this case, Banks will verify the estimate of construction cost from an independent source. Needless to say that all construction approvals like Approved Plan, Work Commencement Certificate, need to be submitted upfront.
  • You may want to Transfer your pre-existing Home Loan from your present Bank to a new Bank to take benefit of lower rate of interest offered by another bank.
  • In many cases Banks offer Top Up (Additional) Loans along with Balance Transfer, depending upon Value of your House, Age of the Loan with present Banks etc.
