Buying a home is generally a once in a lifetime investment that merits good amount of research and equal amount of budget-management. One would need to put together a sizeable corpus to buy a house. However, home loans come to a homebuyer’s aid by providing sufficient financial support to buy a house. To avail a home loan, you need to first establish yourself as an eligible home loan applicant.

The relation between eligibility and financial stability

It is crucial for you to find out your eligibility for a home loan before starting the home buying process. Your financial stability influences your eligibility primarily for getting a home loan. Home Loan lenders consider annual income of applicants along with other factors like assets and liabilities. Lenders like to establish that you are financially stable and thus, able to repay their loan in a timely manner.
Depending on the income of the applicants, loan lenders calculate the disposable amount available for repayment. Disposable income is the amount of money left after deducting all existing obligations. . The higher the disposable income, the more are the chances of getting a higher home loan amount.
