Mortgage Advisor is Crucial for a Real Estate

📌  Understanding Home Loans: 

An Advisory Perspective As part of our comprehensive financial consulting services, we help clients make informed decisions on housing finance by breaking down key components of home loans. Below is a detailed advisory guide covering fundamental aspects of home loans for borrowers and investors.

What is EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment):

EMI is a fixed monthly payment made by a borrower to a lending institution, comprising both principal and interest components. EMIs provide a structured repayment plan, enabling financial discipline and forecasting. The borrower continues to pay EMIs until the full loan amount is repaid.

Types of Interest Calculation Methods: Daily, Monthly, and Annual Reducing Balance:

Financial institutions calculate interest using different reducing balance methods that directly impact the total interest payable. Our advisory approach highlights the differences:

Annual Reducing Balance:

• Interest is calculated on the original principal throughout the year.
• The principal reduces only annually.
• Least efficient and not cost-effective.

Monthly Reducing Balance:

• Interest is recalculated each month on the reduced principal.
• More efficient than annual reducing, leading to lower total interest.

Daily Reducing Balance:

• Interest is calculated daily on the outstanding principal.
• Most cost-effective method due to maximum interest reduction.

Fixed Interest Rate – Advisory Insights:

A Fixed Interest Rate remains unchanged throughout the loan tenure:

• Predictability in EMI amounts
• Protection against market fluctuations Ideal for clients seeking risk-averse loan structures.

Floating Interest Rate – Advisory Insights:

A Floating Rate varies with changes in the market lending rate. It offers:

• Potential for lower EMIs when market rates drop
• Exposure to upward rate risks Advisable for clients with high risk tolerance or those expecting market corrections.

Advisory on Additional Costs in Home Loans

Clients should consider associated costs when applying for a home loan. These include:

• Processing Charges: Usually 0.5% – 1.5% of the loan amount.
• Prepayment Penalty: Charges (up to 2%) for early loan closure; often waived on floating-rate loans.
• Miscellaneous Fees: Documentation, legal consultation, valuation charges, etc.

Collateral & Securities – Lending Safeguards:

Typically, the property serves as collateral and is mortgaged until full repayment. Some cases, lenders may require additional security such:

• Life insurance policies
• Fixed deposits
• Savings certificates, This is crucial in risk mitigation for both borrower and lender.
