Home Loan
For buying a ready or under-construction home, building on a plot you own, or renovating.
In plain words
What a home loan actually is
A home loan lets you buy a property now and repay the cost in monthly instalments over several years. The lender pays the seller or builder, and you repay the lender. The property itself stands as security until the loan is closed. For most people it is the largest financial commitment they will make, which is exactly why it is worth understanding properly before signing.

What lenders generally look at
These are the factors that usually matter. The exact requirements differ from lender to lender, so treat this as a guide rather than a checklist.
- Your income, and how steady it is. Lenders look at salary slips or business accounts over recent years.
- Your existing EMIs. The more you already repay each month, the less a lender will lend you.
- Your credit history. A record of paying loans and cards on time helps considerably.
- Your age, because it decides how many years you have left to repay before retirement.
- The property itself. Lenders check the title, approvals and valuation before releasing funds.

Things worth thinking about
The questions we would want answered if it were our own loan.
- 1The interest rate is only part of the cost. Ask about processing fees, legal and valuation charges, and what happens if you repay early.
- 2A longer tenure lowers your monthly EMI but increases the total interest you pay over the life of the loan.
- 3On a floating rate, your EMI or your tenure can change when rates move. Ask which one changes.
- 4Keep some funds aside for registration, stamp duty and interiors. A loan rarely covers the entire cost of moving in.
- 5Check that the property has clear title and the required approvals before you pay any advance.
Questions
Home Loan questions we are asked
How much can I borrow for a home?
It depends on your income, your existing EMIs, your credit history, your age and the value of the property. Lenders fund a portion of the property value, not all of it, so you will need to arrange the rest yourself along with registration and stamp duty. We can help you work out a realistic figure before you start looking seriously.
Can I apply before I have chosen a property?
Yes. Many lenders will assess your income and give you an in-principle view of what you could borrow before you finalise a property. It is a sensible order to do things in, because you then know your budget while you are looking.
Should I choose a fixed or floating interest rate?
A floating rate moves with the market, so your EMI or tenure can change. A fixed rate stays the same for an agreed period. Which suits you depends on how much certainty you want and how long you expect to keep the loan. We will talk you through both rather than pushing one.
Can I repay my home loan early?
Usually yes, and part-prepayment can reduce your total interest considerably. The terms vary by lender and by whether the loan is at a fixed or floating rate, so check this before you sign rather than after.
