BANGALORE: A home loan is no small thing. It is a long period commitment that usually stays with you 15 to 30 years of your life. Because of this, so many important things have to be thought and planned about and so many factors will be decided whether you will get a mortgage loan or not.

 There are various factors affecting the eligibility for a home loan. Banks have their own parameters and criteria to determine the eligibility and quantum of housing loan. It helps borrower if they are aware of a few of such factors.

1. Banking History

An established history with a lender can give a prospective home buyer a fighting chance of securing the necessary funding. Banking institutions see each borrower as a risk of lost investment to a certain degree, but an existing banking relationship gives a lender familiarity with an individual and their financial habits, and so it can be a good idea to seek out a home loan at an institution at which there is an active bank account in good standing already in place.
