Factors on which ICICI Bank Home Loan Interest Rates depend

ICICI Bank Home Loan Interest Rates have several dependent factors.

The amount of money borrowed:

The loan amount that an individual wants to borrow is one of the principal factors deciding the interest rate. For a higher amount of loans taken, higher rates of interest are incurred.

Type of Interest Rates:

There are two basic options for any home loan regarding interest types: borrowers can opt for a fixed ROI or a variable ROI (ROI = Rate Of Interest). The interest rates can further be floating or even mixed. Choosing a specific type of interest decides the end rate for a customer to pay on their loan.

Loan to Value, or LTV Ratio:

A borrower can only avail of a home loan that is a percentage of the property’s determined value. This percentage is called a Loan-to-value ratio. This factor often determines how much money a person can borrow as a home loan for a specific property and, in turn, affects the rate of interest a borrower incurs on that loan. For ICICI Bank Home Loans, an LTV of 80% is commonly offered.

Income of the Applicant:

For a financial institution to lend an individual money, one of the first factors that come up while determining their eligibility is the ease of repaying ability. The monthly installments that a borrower must pay should also be coherent with their income. The nature of an applicant’s job can also play a role in lowering the loan’s interest rates. For example, Government Employees, people working in PSUs, non-salaried stable income professionals like Doctors and Chartered Accountants often have better possibilities to get even attractive ROI’s on their loans. The stability of income often inversely affects the risks of repayment of a loan. Hence, non-salaried individuals often incur slightly higher rates of interest for the same amount of loan.

Applicant’s CIBIL Score:

An applicant’s credit score has a significant effect on the resultant home loan interest rates that they can avail from the bank. A credit score generally represents the nature of the financial habits of an individual. Hence, a lower score, more often than not, poses more risks in terms of the loan repayment – reasons that a financial institution may opt to increase the rate of interest while approving the home loan. On the other hand, someone with a moderate to good CIBIL score has an excellent chance of getting more borrowing amount and availing a low rate of interest.

Applicants should consider these factors carefully before applying for a home loan with HDFC to increase their chances of loan approval.
