Being a home owner is everyone’s dream. With the increasing demand for a room of one’s own, the popularity of home loans has gone up. Banks, financial institutes and NBFCs offer a variety of home loans. With low rates of interest, affordable EMIs, manageable tenure and tax benefits, home loans are high in demand.

The types of home loans available to customers these days are as follows:

Land purchase loans

Land purchase loans are to be taken when you are buying a plot of land, on which you wish to construct a house. Banks offer land purchase loans which are up to 85% of the cost of the plot, irrespective of whether it is for residential or investment purpose. Based on your age, the maximum tenure for this type of loan is 15 years. Anyone, who is above 21 years of age and has a regular income, is eligible to apply for this loan. Usually, the amount of loan sanctioned for land purchase tends to be lesser than the loan for purchasing a house.

Home purchase loans

Home construction loans

A home construction loan can be availed when you wish to construct a house rather than buying a pre-constructed one. The loan application process for this type of loan is slightly different from other, related home loans. The approval also depends on different parameters. The points to remember while applying for this loan are as follows:

-If the lot was purchased in the last 12 months, the cost will be included in the estimate, increasing the loan amount.

-The sanction amount depends on the estimate of the construction cost.

-The loan amount can be disbursed in one go or in instalments depending on the progress of construction.

Home expansion/extension loans

Home expansion or extension loan is perfect when you wish to expand any house owned by you. It includes changes in structure, adding extra space, dividing a big room into two smaller ones, adding a low attic, enclosing balcony, making a bigger bathroom and many such alterations that utilise the existing house area. This loan can also be sanctioned as a part of home improvement loan. It depends on how the lending institute categories it.

The home expansion loan amount constitutes 70% to 85% of the total cost of expansion. The parameters considered while granting this loan are same as those for other types of loans – age, credit history, annual income, tenure, etc. The rate of interest for this type of loan can be floating or fixed, as agreed with the institute.

Home conversion loans

If you have already purchased a house by taking a home loan, but have changed your mind and wish to buy another house, you can choose home conversion loan. It simply means that you can transfer the current home loan over to the new home, without the need for repaying the loan on the previous home. While extremely beneficial in a rare case, this loan is very expensive and can cost you a lot.

The loan amount is much lower for this type of loan as the stamp duty is, usually, in the rage of 4-5% of the cost of the property. Experts advice to pay the stamp duty and registration fee upfront instead of taking a loan to pay them.
