Home Loans

A home loan, commonly known as a mortgage, is a financial product offered by banks and lenders to help individuals purchase residential property. It involves borrowing a specific amount of money to buy a home and agreeing to repay it over a set period, typically ranging from 15 to 30 years. The loan is secured by the property itself, meaning if the borrower fails to make payments, the lender can seize the property through foreclosure. Home loans come with various terms and conditions, including the loan amount, interest rate (which can be fixed or variable), repayment period, and down payment requirements. Borrowers must undergo a rigorous approval process, providing information about their income, assets, credit history, and the property they intend to purchase. Repayments are made monthly and include both principal and interest components. Overall, home loans enable individuals to achieve homeownership by spreading the cost of the property purchase over time.
