How do I improve my eligible home loan amount?

One of the ways to increase your eligible home loan amount is by making your spouse a co-applicant while applying for home loan. With your spouse's monthly income being considered during the home loan approval process, the eligible loan amount will also increase. You can also consider choosing longer loan tenures to improve your eligible loan amount.

What are the factors that decide my home loan amount eligibility?

Here are a few factors that home loan lenders consider while computing the home loan amount you are eligible for.

  1. The banks or NBFCs ensure that your Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) is limited to 50% of your monthly income.
  2. The EMIs of other ongoing loans, if any, are also taken into considered when deciding the maximum home loan amount you are eligible for. EMIs of any other ongoing loans will eventually lower the maximum home loan amount you are eligible for.
  3. Another important aspect to remember before you apply for home loan is that most banks and NBFCs disburse only up to 85% of the property value.
