Home Loans

Posted in Labels:

A house is the dearest item most people ever buy. Thus it is only normal that mortgages or a house loan is taken when people buy houses. Borrowing for a home is a normal procedure for anyone who want to buy houses. However, not everybody is eligible for a bank loan. Many young couples may find themselves ineligible for certain bank loans or housing loans. The best place to borrow and the type of loan to get, depend on the person’s deposit, savings record and their income. Recently there is an increase in interest rates and my housing loan with HDB has definitely increase too. My monthly repayment loan amount to the HDB is also increased. This means that I have to pay more than usual to them. It is definitely a lot more to pay than usual!

It is important to consider the legal and borrowing costs involved in financing a home too. These may include things like mortgage duty, valuation fees, loan application fees, fees for the lender’s solicitor, mortgage protection, and registration fees. 

Banks have traditionally been the main lenders for housing. However, nowadays there are various sources of housing finance or remortgages such as the banks, permanent building societies, finance companies, credit unions, co-operative building societies, and many others. Different companies have different policies, terms and conditions when applying for home loans or mortgages.
