Buying a Home with a Loan in Delhi NCR
Most property buyers in Delhi NCR rely on a home loan rather than paying the full amount upfront. Understanding the process beforehand saves time and avoids last-minute surprises.
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
Banks and NBFCs typically look at:
- Age: 21–65 years (loan tenure must end before retirement)
- Income: Salaried or self-employed with stable income proof
- Credit Score: 750+ gets you the best interest rates
- Existing EMIs: Lower existing debt improves eligibility
Step 2: Get Pre-Approved
A pre-approval letter tells you your budget before you start property hunting. It's valid for 3–6 months and makes negotiations easier since sellers know you're a serious buyer.
Step 3: Documents Required
- PAN Card, Aadhaar Card
- Salary slips (last 3 months) or ITR (last 2–3 years for self-employed)
- Bank statements (last 6 months)
- Property documents (once property is finalized)
- Passport-size photographs
Step 4: Property Selection and Legal Check
Once the property is finalized, the bank runs its own legal and technical verification:
- Legal check: Title deed, chain of ownership, encumbrance certificate
- Technical check: Property valuation by bank-approved valuer
This is why buying from a trusted agency matters — clean paperwork means faster approval.
Step 5: Loan Sanction
After verification, the bank issues a sanction letter mentioning the approved loan amount, interest rate, and tenure. This is not the same as disbursement — it's a formal approval.
Step 6: Down Payment
Banks typically finance 75–90% of the property value. You'll need to arrange the remaining 10–25% as down payment, plus registration and stamp duty charges separately.
Step 7: Loan Agreement and Disbursement
Once you sign the loan agreement and complete registration formalities, the bank disburses the loan — either fully (ready-to-move property) or in stages (under-construction property, linked to construction milestones).

- Not comparing interest rates across banks/NBFCs
