A Home Loan is a long-term legal contract between a customer (home loan seeker) and the bank. Hence it is very important for a home loan seeker to be fully aware of all the legal terms and conditions that involve in the processing of a home loan.

A home-loan seeker may face several difficulties including certain legal issues in the processing of a home loan. He/she has to be very careful and must have a good knowledge of all the legal aspects pertaining to home loan processing. The following tips will greatly help you to educate yourselves in this regard and obtain a hassle-free home loan.

1. Home loans process starts with documentation. Documents pertaining to a property are of great value and play a key role in completing the process. So, a home loan seeker must be very careful when submitting the documents to the bank. Never submit any fake or unclear documents that may create confusion or misguide the banks; banks have every right to take legal action against those who misguide them.

2. The details that you furnish in the application form should not include any discrepancy. Banks make a careful study into these details, and if they find discrepancy, your application is certain to be rejected without any prior notice.

3. Retain all your receipts of the amount paid towards the credit card bills as banks may ask for the receipts of the payments once the details are found in CIBIL.

4. A panel of advocates will scrutinise the documents submitted by the home loan seeker. They will obtain the search reports from the concerned sub-registrar office to find out the details of deeds and the vendors pertaining to that specific property. If they find any discrepancy in the documents, banks will ask the customer or vendor for clarification or for other supporting documents.

5. Property that the home loan seeker intends to acquire will be evaluated by technical valuers, and if any find any deviations in the property, customer has to submit additional documents to support the deviations.

6. Upon completion of the entire process, vendor has to verify all his original documents with the bank official before disbursement of the loan, and the customer has to submit latest Encumbrance Certificate (EC) recording all transactions of the property in original.

7. Customer (home loan seeker) has to sign all the legal documents and the Home Loan Agreements in regard to the disbursement of the loan, and the property will be hypothecated to the bank till he/she repays the entire loan amount subsequent to the registration of the property. Customers are advised to carefully read the agreement copy before signing it.

8. If the customer fails to repay the loan, banks may appoint agents to collect the easy monthly installments (EMIs) from the customer, and he/she has to co-operate with them.

9. If the customer gets defaulted, bank can seize the property to recover the loan amount; and once this happens he/she will be added into the defaulters list of the CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau of India Ltd).

Finally, it is advisable to take as less loan amount as possible so as to save the interest paid on the loan. Also, be punctual in repaying the loans to maintain a good credit history.
