Who does not want the luxury of having their own home?

It is the dream of most of us. Living in a rented house may become frustrating and annoying. Privacy and comfort are usually absent in rented spaces and oh… don’t forget the sky-high utility expenses. A place you can call home is indeed a blessing.

However, building a home in today’s era can be very difficult due to the increasing cost of raw materials, labour, and property tax. Before getting a loan for the home you exactly know about the plot size conversion. Once you know the exact size of your land then it is easy for you to get a loan with a proper plan.  Thankfully, some banks are providing home financing for Pakistani people.

All you have to do is pay a certain amount of money every month to the bank. This makes the whole construction process easier and more practical. A person belonging to the middle class and upper-middle-class can enjoy the perks of their very own home, all thanks to home financing.

We have outlined a very useful and thorough comparison among different banks so that you can see how the whole loan thing works.

Pros of getting a home loan in Pakistan

• First of all, getting a home loan means that you are getting ownership of a tangible asset. A home loan will ensure that you become the owner of a house where you can retire after a long tiresome day. 
• Financing a home can be difficult. For most of us, paying in bulk for the construction of the house is nearly impossible. This is when the banks come to our rescue. They provide you with the capital you need to build your house and let you return the money at easy terms and conditions.
• Very few people know that there are tax benefits attached to the repayments of home loans. The interest portion of the EMI paid for the year can be claimed as a deduction from your total income.
• Home loans also allow you to save on rent. The amount that you were paying to stay in someone else’s home can now be used to finance your tangible asset. Also, a home loan can save you from the uncertainty that you face when you are living in a rented property.

Things you need to know before signing up for home loans

• Unlike personal loans, home loans are long term. When you get a microfinance loan or a personal loan, you pay it off within 2 to 3 years. but when you sign up for home loans, keep in mind that it will take 10-20 years to return your loan. If you are ready for this kind of financial commitment, go for a home loan for sure.
• When you purchase a home or build a house using the home loan, remember that you will not become the 100% owner of that property. You will only get full ownership of the property after making all the instalments.

If you will fail to make the required instalments, the bank has the authority to take legal action against you. In the worst of cases, can lead to you being evicted from the home and the bank taking possession.

Any action that you take upon the information on this website is strictly at your own risk. For more information on home loans, visit the bank’s website.
