Housing Loans


By Jake Smith

Self owned home is something which everyone's wishes. There are some who can afford to buy house on their own but everybody cannot afford to buy house on their own. For those who cannot afford there are several banks and financial institutions who lend easy finance. The person who wishes to buy a house can either get loan from a bank or after inquiring about the rate of interest being charged by them. Certain rules and regulations are needed to be followed before which the bank or financial institution assigns loans. Submissions of important documents are asked by the bank officials which are to be submitted before acquiring loan. Banks ask for these documents in order to check the validity of the person.

These banks and financial institutions offer tenure of three years, six years, twelve years or fifteen years. It all differs and depends on banks and financial institutions. The tenure may be selected by the person in need of loan.

Depending on the tenure, Equated Monthly Installments i.e. EMI are calculated and the person is informed about it. EMI and number of years are related to each other and as number of years increase, EMI decrease and visa versa. Banks are much concerned with EMI and their main goal is to get back the entire loan amount and that too along with interest.

The person who wishes to buy a house on loan should first calculate the price of the property. The other important thing is to see whether the property which the person is willing to buy has any other legal obligations which are to be fulfilled. It is always better to get a No dues certificate in order to prove that the property is free from any encumbrances. Bank or the financial institution before granting any housing loan requires the borrower in need of housing loan to submit application form along with other documents that are relevant and involve the financial repaying capacity of the borrower. These documents include income proof and residential address proof. Banks also check the residential address of the person as well as the company or organization in which the person is employed.

Once all the terms and conditions of the bank and financial institution are fulfilled, bank issues a sanction letter. This sanction letter has all the necessary details like the amount of the loan sanctioned, the interest charged on loan amount, tenure of the loan and the mode of payment. Bank or financial institution also requires that all the relevant original documents regarding the property which is to be purchased should be handed over to the bank. Bank or financial institutions keep these relevant documents as a part of security. One should not worry about these documents as documents are in the safe custody of the bank and are only returned to the person when the whole loan amount is repaid. These documents are scrutinized and after visiting the property and ensuring each and every thing the loan is disbursed.

The housing loans is a blessing for those who are in need of house and cannot afford to buy on own.
