The down-payment is the first hurdle
Banks typically finance 75–90% of a home's value. The rest — plus registration, stamp duty and interiors — has to come from your savings. That is often 25–30% of the property price.
Planning your home purchase
- For purchases 5+ years away, use a mix of equity and hybrid funds.
- For purchases within 3 years, prefer debt funds and FDs.
- Keep your total EMIs within about 35–40% of take-home pay.
- Use our EMI calculator to size your loan.
