Fill out an Application Form
The first process of a home loan is filling out the application form. We need to enter our details, our income, work history, current liabilities, education, and property details.
Home Loan Documentation
We need to provide some documents to the banks to prove our identity, age, address, salary, etc. The bank decides whether or not to grant a loan based on these documents. Some of the documents are;
Proof of identityProof of ageProof of AddressProof of Educational QualificationsProof of Income/BusinessDocuments related to the mortgaged propertyPay Processing fee
After the submission of the application form and related
documents, the lender will ask you to pay the processing fee, normally the bank charges 0.25 percent to 1 percent of the loan amount requested. Some banks like the Bank of Maharashtra do not charge processing fees.
Meeting with the Lender
The applicant must wait for additional notification from the
lender after submitting the form and supporting papers. During these days, the lender will review your information and determine your eligibility for a loan based on your repayment capacity. Before the loan can be approved, your lender will need that you come in for a face-to-face meeting. A personal meeting is required to obtain additional information and analyze your repayment potential.
Document Processing & Verification
The lender will proceed with the verification of the given documents and other details after a personal conversation. To verify the information in the application, the lender will visit your home or call the company you work in. During this process, the lender will ask for your credit score.
Home Loan Sanction Letter
After the completion of the above-mentioned steps, you will get a loan approval letter from the bank. Which include the loan amount, rate of interest, type of interest rate, loan tenure, mode of repayment, terms, and conditions. If the content of the letter is acceptable to you, sign and submit the acceptance copy to the lender after receiving it.
Legal Check & Property Verification
The property pledged will be verified. You will need to submit the original copies of the title deed, no objection certificate, encumbrance certificate, and other documents that your lender asks for. The next important step is a legal check, the lender will check if there is any legal dispute for the pledged property. If there is no dispute then the legal check will be done. Representatives of the financial institution will visit the property for verification.
Home Loan Disbursal
Once all of the above stages have been completed successfully, you will receive the final agreement from the lender. Finally, the home loan will be disbursed according to the terms that were mutually agreed upon.
