New Development: Home loans to be linked to progress of project
Reference: The Economic Times
Home loan providers are now insisting on construction-linked disbursal of funds to new projects, as they look to make developers more accountable after getting stuck in several stalled projects.
A number of developers have either stopped construction midway or slowed down due to shortage of funds and poor sales in 2008 and 2009. Lending institutions expect the move to help them monitor the progress of construction and make developers accountable, said a senior executive with a public sector bank. “Buyers in such projects are in a difficult situation. They have to pay monthly installments towards the loan without getting the possession of house. They also end up shelling out monthly rents during the period,” he said, requesting anonymity.
HDFC, one of the largest lenders in the home loan segment, has, allegedly, discontinued the practice of upfront disbursals and linked the flow of funds to progress of construction.
Developers initially used to offer homebuyers up to 10% discount on upfront payment. These developers subsequently diverted substantial part of funds to other projects. The delay in completion of work left buyers in a lurch. There is a high probability of default by such borrowers.
In construction-linked payment, the home finance companies or banks do not release the funds up front. They release of around 30% funds initially and the rest is disbursed as per the progress of projects. In such cases since the exposures are not full and the monthly repayment obligation for borrowers will be lower.
Many developers have now changed the payment schedule to construction-linked as against timebound payment. This is good for the industry. However, banks and home finance companies should release 30-35% of the funds towards the land and development cost. The lenders have also become more conservative in disbursal of loans. In a volatile real estate market, they offer lower valuations for the property against which they disburse the funds.
According to industry estimates, disbursements of home loan in the organised system of financing in the first six months of the current fiscal has been around Rs 60,000 crore. In 2008-09, it touched Rs 1,00,000 crore approximately, while in 2007-08 the amount was around Rs 1,30,000 crore.

The Foreign Exchange (Forex) is a wonderful market to trade in, but it’s very easy to lose a bundle if you are just starting out. For those considering taking the plunge for the first time, my advice is to seek as much information as possible, such as at this website, or one of the more popular free forex information sites such as http://www.forex-critics.com/blog — Good luck.

Specialists argue that home loans help people to live their own way, because they are able to feel free to buy needed stuff. Furthermore, various banks give term loan for all people.

As you can see, there are some large benefits to consolidating your debt with a home impartiality loan. Mortgage loans come in a variety of financing forms to best suit your wants. Some bridging loan lenders disregard loan fees, while others bring down their activity rates.

The essence of taking a loan, I presume, is to help one augment the little money he or she has, to achieve a goal that can either be long-term or short term. Not to start living lavishly without realizing the pocket is getting drained quicker than one expects.

One thing I learnt is that before asking for a loan, the thing that can ruin you most isn’t the fact that you don’t know how you’ll repay it, but failure to know how to use the loan once you get it.

Finding good financing options for buying an apartment has always been a difficult task. Financial institutions tend to have very difficult criteria at times for granting apartment loans. It is not that apartment loans are not available but one needs to be careful in distinguishing the right financing option from the bad choices.
