Q: I am looking to purchase a property. Property is not yet decided though. Should I apply for loan now or after finalising the property?
How would I know how much loan am I eligible for if I don't apply now?
Some banks won't lend for more than 20 years tenure. The loan's interest rate is calculated for the total property value which includes property value + stamp duty + registration costs.
First you have to check how much home loan you can get. That depends on factors such as- your profession/business, your income, which bank/offer, interest rate of loan and the time period of the loan. You can contact your nearest bank and find out. Then you decide which property to buy.
