What is a Home Loan?
A home loan, also known as a mortgage, is a sum of money borrowed from a financial institution to purchase a house or flat. The property being purchased is held by the lender as collateral until the loan is fully repaid. Home loans are long-term loans, with tenures often extending up to 30 years. They are repaid in Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs).
Key Factors to Consider
- Loan Amount: This is the sum you borrow. It's typically a percentage of the property's value. The remaining amount is paid by the borrower as a down payment.
- Interest Rate: The interest rate determines the cost of borrowing. It can be fixed (remains the same throughout the tenure) or floating (changes based on market conditions). Your credit score is a major factor in the rate you are offered.
- Loan Tenure: The period over which you repay the loan. A longer tenure means lower EMIs but a higher total interest payout. A shorter tenure results in higher EMIs but saves on the total interest cost.
