This should be the first step. While doing this you should consider the cash at hand, your deposits and savings that can be immediately liquidated and made available towards payment for the house. While fixing the budget the amount that you can pay as the down-payment and the rest of the amount you can arrange through home loan or other source should be clearly established. The budget is the crucial factor which would help streamline the entire process.

Arrange the Finances

Once you arrange the amount to be paid towards the down payment (usually about 20% of the entire price of the property, in other words 20% of the entire budget you have decided), you will have to arrange finances towards the rest of the payment. Most of the leading nationalised and private banks have easy and quick home loan approval processes in place, which come as a boon to aspiring home buyers. Your CIBIL score, pre-existing loans, current EMIs paid are different factors that banks consider while offering you loans. Pre-approved loans offer you an idea of the loan amount you are eligible for and this way helps you fix the budget too.

Choose the location
