The most popular home loan available in India is the home purchase loans. These loans can be used in the purchase of a brand new residential property or an old property from its previous owners.

Home construction loans can be used by the ones who want to construct an independent house. The tract of land on which the person wishes to construct the house should have been bought within a year of application of loan. A rough estimate of the cost for construction of the house should be calculated and then one should apply for the loan. The loan will then be analyzed and then sanctioned.
