Key Factors Affecting Your Home Loan Eligibility

Check out some of the most important factors that may affect your home loan eligibility:

Age: When it comes to applying for a home loan, age is not just a number. Lower the age, the easier it is to get the loan approved. Therefore, a young professional who is just 30 years old can easily get a home loan for upto 30 years. In comparison, an individual who is 50 years old may find it tough to get a home loan for such a long tenure.

Income: Your income also determines how much you are eligible to borrow. Most lenders have specified a minimum income requirement for the applicant as well as co-applicant. Whether you are self-employed or a salaried individual, you must meet the minimum income requirement. In addition, lenders also check whether your income is stable enough or not.

Credit score: Your credit score is also very important. Higher the score, the higher your chances of getting a loan approved. A score of 650 and above is generally considered good and indicates higher chances of approval.

Existing loan obligations: Your existing loan obligations (or Debt-to-income ratio) should not be more than 50% of your income. If this ratio is too high, it indicates you have too many outstanding loans and therefore, you are more likely to default in future.
