Steps to get a Home Improvement Loan
The procedure of taking a Home Improvement Loan differs from one bank to another. You can even apply jointly for a Home Loan where all the owners have to be co-applicants.
The dream of becoming a home-owner is just a few steps ahead!
1. Fill up the form
The process of applying for a Home Improvement Loan begins by filling up an application form (physical/online) where the borrower has to provide his/her personal information such as name, address, telephone number, monthly and annual income, and educational qualifications.
2. Documents verification
The second step ensures the verification of the documents provided by the borrower to the lender. This step may take up to 2 days of time during which the borrower may be summoned for a face-to-face interview. Through this step, the lender confirms whether the borrower is competent in repaying the loan amount within the specified time period.
3. Background check
The bank also conducts an investigation wherein it examines the background of the borrower. Through this survey, the bank verifies the information provided by the borrower to the bank such as a precise residential address, place of employment or office contact details.
4. Payment of Processing Fees
Only after the previously mentioned steps, the lender allows your process of Housing Loan, after the payment of the Processing Fees. The Processing Fees is an amount that is collected by the lender from the borrower to get started with the process. However, this step still does not confirm your loan.
5. Loan approval
The most climacteric stage in the entire process is the loan approval process when the lender decides whether to approve or reject your loan. The borrower must issue all the required documents accurately. It is at this stage that the borrower gets to know the maximum amount for the loan as well as the interest rates according to the tenure sanctioned by the lender. The borrower receives an official letter from the lender stating the same.
6. Technical verification of property or property documents
Following the loan approval step, the lender takes into custody all the original documents of the property until the whole amount of the loan is repaid. The lender verifies the property documents and even sends its representatives to physically scrutinize the property before approving the loan.
