I read your article for home loan in lowest interest and how to procedure, but i had about for home, construction, property, housing, montgage all kinds of loans provider more information Get Easy Bank Loan
Nice Read
Dear Suresh,
Good amount of details. However, I have following query:
Nowadays, some Non-Banking firms (LIC Housing, DHFL etc.) are also offering home loans at an attractive interesting rates. But, I doubt about their reliability on interest hike after some time with out any prior notice or with out any strong point to increase the interest rate. The only advantage with these firms is getting the home loan with lesser effort, documentation and time. Pls let me know your opinion on these Non-banking firms.
Thanks

Hi Ravi, I agree with you. I have seen readers making comment on this blog that LICHFL and other non banking finance companies are increasing interest rates after couple of years from the date of loan. I believe that one should go for banks instead of financial institutions as housing loan is long term commitment.
CIBIL TransUnion Score also!
Very nice and informative article Suresh,
THanks
Hi
Thanks for the wonderful information.
Can u let me know the documents required if we apply for a joint loan
Kitesh, I spoke to one bank official last week and he told me that documents which are required by an individual applies even for jointย loan too i.e. all documents to be submited by both of them. Incase one of them does not have any income, the eligibility would be reduced. Hence all docs are required to be submitted by both applicants.
Good info buddy ๐
