A home loan, also known as a mortgage, is a type of loan specifically designed to help individuals purchase residential property. Here are the key features and components of home loans:
Home loans are used primarily to buy a home, but they can also be used for refinancing an existing mortgage or for home renovations.
The amount borrowed is typically a percentage of the property’s purchase price, with lenders often requiring a deposit (down payment) of 10-20%.
Home loans can have fixed or variable interest rates.
Home loans generally have repayment terms of up to 30 years, though shorter or longer terms can be available.
Borrowers make regular monthly payments that include both principal (the loan amount) and interest. Some loans may also include property taxes and insurance in the monthly payment.
Many lenders offer pre-approval, which provides a conditional commitment on the loan amount based on your financial situation, helping you understand your budget when house hunting.
Home loans may come with various fees, including application fees, valuation fees, and ongoing account fees. Additionally, borrowers might need to pay lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI) if the deposit is below 20%.
