How to obtain finances?

PropertyPanga.com helps you with your property problems in India. While getting a home loan has become an easier process since the last few years, one need to go through certain formalities before the loan is sanctioned.

Here is what you need to do before you have that `precious cheque in your hands. The process begins with the filling of the mandatory application form.

While the look of a form may differ from one housing finance company (financial institution) to another , nearly 80 percent of the information they require is similar in nature.

You need to provide your personal & professional information, details of your financial assets & liabilities & the details of the property (if finalized), including the estimated cost & the means if financing the same. When you submit the application form, each financial institution will ask for documents which will be required to establish your income.


Documents you have to provide:


a. Last three year Income Tax return (along with copies of computation of income/annual account, if any), Form 16/Form 16A.
b. Last three month salary slips.
c. Copies of the last 12 months statement of all your active financial institutions account in which your salary/business income details are reflected, etc.
d. School leaving certificate/driving license/passport/ration card/PAN card/Election Commission's card/etc.
e. Proof that you are staying at your current address.
f. Proof of your investments so that it helps the financial institution gauge your ability to pay for the down payment as well as your saving habit.

Once the basic documentation is received by the financial institution, some may want to meet you before sanctioning the loan. And if they do so, carry all the original documents pertaining to the information you have provided.

Then the financial institution swings into action & sends its representatives to validate every bit of information you have given. These could include checking the property details, etc.

Once the information has been verified they do a credit appraisal & they give you an offer letter, which you need to accept by signing a duplicate. You will also need to give the financial institution the entire set of original document pertaining to your property so that they can keep them as security for the loan amount given to you. The document will remain in the financial institution's custody until the loan is fully repaid.


The documents normally include:


a. The title document of your seller, which prove the sellers title, including the chain of title documents if he is not the first owner.
b. No-objection Certificates(NOCs) from the legal owner such as Cooperative Housing Societies, statutory development authorities, the lessor of the land ? in the case of leasehold land, etc. NOCs are not required where the property is situated on freehold land &the entire land is being transferred with the structure.

The financial institution?s also use there own legal &technical terms that cross-check the information, as well as the quality of construction (unless they already know the builder & have pre-approved the projects). Every financial institution conducts a site visit to your property to verify the following-

In case of under construction property:

a. Stage of construction is the as same as that mentioned in the payment notice given to you by the builder.
b. Quality of construction.
c. Satisfactory progress of work.
d. Layout of flats & area of property is within permissions granted by the govering authority.
e. The builder has the requisite certificate to start construction at the site.
f. Valuation of the property in relation to order deals in the surrounding areas.


In case of ready/resale construction:

a. External/internal maintenance of the property.
b. The age of the building.
c. Will the building last the loan tenure? This has a direct bearing on your loan eligibility since the loan tenure will be restricted to the maximum age of the property as decided by the financial institution engineer & this willmajorly impact your loan eligibility.
d. Quality of construction.
e. Surrounding area (development).
f. Whether the builder has received requisite certificates for handling over possession of the flat.
g. There is no existing line or mortgage on the property.
h. Valuation of the property in relation to other deals in the surrounding areas.

After legal & technical/valuation checks, the draft documents, as clear by the lawyer, need to be finalized & signed. Stamping & registration also need to be done. Also if any NOCs are pending, these need to be obtained in the format approved by the financial institution lawyer.

Once the documentation & your ability to repay the loans have been confirmed, the financial institution will sign a home loan agreement with you. Here you need to be post-dated cheques for the first 36 months or more (depend on the agreed mode of repayment). And now you can actually hold cheques in your hands. The cheque will be in the name of reseller (for resale flats, builder, society or the development authorities. In the case of property under construction, loans are disbursed on the bases of the stage of construction of the property. This would mean that the disbursement either be full & final ( in the case of resale & ready possession properties) or part disbursement (in the case under construction properties). Finally, once the financial institutions hands over the pay order to you. You in turn are expected to the reseller or the builder. You should get the receipt from them for the payment. This receipt will become a part of your mortgage documentation, & part hence has to be handed over to the financial institution
