3. Availability of Home Loan –

You must be thinking that any of the above mentioned two cases can be executed only if you have enough savings or money in your hand. Well, this is not true. If you look around, you will find that there are numbers of financial institutions like banks etc. offering home loans and that too at affordable interest rates and EMIs. For example, SBI is offering Home Loan @ 9.40% interest rate, PNB Housing Finance Limited is offering Home Loan @ 9.50% - 9.95% interest rate, and ICICI Bank offering Home Loan @ 9.45% - 9.70% interest rate etc. Similarly, there are many more financial institutions those are offering home loan at different rates of interest and with easily payable EMIs.

Here are the benefits that you can avail from purchasing home through home loan –

- Earlier you were giving rent to live in someone else’s house. But now, you will be using the same money to pay as EMI for living in your own house.

- You need not to worry about shifting home again and again, as now you are in your own house and not in someone else’s.

- Nowadays, various banks and financial institutions are also giving option of prepayment and closure. Generally a Home Loan goes for 10 to 15 years. But, if you have saved enough money to repay your loan before completion of its period, using this option you can pre-pay your loan and get a debt-free home.

- As the option of home loan is available to you, so you can purchase either a house or a flat in a society of your choice and that too in your preferred area.

4. Giving Contract to an Individual builder to build your home if you own a land –

Now a days, this option is very popular among the people, who own a land in residential areas or have house built of old type and needs renovation. There are lots of individual builders who enter into a contract with the owner of house/land. As per this contract, builder will be building a multi-storey house on the owner’s land on his own cost and as coverage, builder will retain either one or two floors. Like, if you are having land or old built house in Pitampura area, the builder will demolish the older one and will built a new 3 or 4 storey building, completely on his own cost. To get his cost recovered, he will retain a floor with himself and rest of the floors and house belongs to the owner of land.

Benefits of choosing this option –

- You will get a multi-storey house and that too designed in the modernized way with proper parking space for your vehicle.

- If you have enough money in your hand, you can purchase back that floor too from the builder and now entire house will be of yours.

- You can further rent the floors, which are not in use to you for now and thus, you can earn from it.

5. Applying in Housing Schemes Offered by Government –

On the timely basis, government announces various housing schemes like DDA Housing Scheme, Housing For All Scheme etc. One can apply for a house under such schemes. However, this can be luck by chance, if you get a house under this scheme, but it’s worth giving a try.

Thus, there are number of options, discussed above, available if you have decided to purchase a house of yours. Providing you solution is in our hands, but whether to accept it or not, is completely on yours.
