It is indeed advisable you opt for a loan at an early age of say in the 30s rather than in the 40s. Because the loan amount is subject to the time left for the retirement. If you have years before your retirement, you can get a higher amount of loan compared to when you will have few years before you leave the professional life.

Income- One thing that stands vital your cause of home loan sanction is the income you earn each month. Needless to say, you can get more loan if the income is on the higher side and vice-versa. But even in the case of lower income, you can enhance your loan amount eligibility by adding some earning family members as co-applicant.

Property Value- Even though HUDCO has not stated as to how much of the property value will be financed as a home loan, the loan amount would be limited to 70%-80% of the value, given the existing market conditions. So, if you are buying a new or resale property, make sure you settle at a price matching with the loan amount that you can get from HUDCO. If the loan amount is lower than the agreed price, then you have to shell out extra from your pocket.

Location – Bear in mind that the property you have chosen is not falling in the negative list of HUDCO. If it is the case, then the company may disapprove your home loan application.

Approved Property- The property’s location can play spoilsport if it is not approved by the competent property development authority. In the absence of authorization, chances are huge that HUDCO would deny you a home loan.
