HSBC Smart Home

 

Your own home is something that is on the bucket list for most of us. However, saving up and buying one, in these times of inflation, and not to mention all the other responsibilities that you have to meet, is easier said than done. If you are looking for a loan that helps you to save on interest payments and in so doing reduces the loan’s tenure, HSBC Smart Home Loan is the way to go.

 

Features and Benefits of HSBC Smart Home Loan:

 

1. Save on interest payments: Think of your Smart Home account as a Current Account. It has an overdraft limit which equal to the amount of the loan disbursed. In other words, your Smart Home account would be your loan account. Simply use your Smart Home account like a normal current account and put in your usual savings into it. This way, the quantum of interest paid can be reduced depending on the savings that you put in the Smart Home account. This will in turn reduce the tenure of your loan.

 

2. Loan amount: You can get home loans which amounts to anything from Rs. 5 lakhs to Rs. 10 crore

 

3. Property types: Both Resident Indians and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can apply for HSBC Smart Home loans. Customers can get loans for ready properties, properties which are under construction (must be approved by HSBC), home improvement, to buy a plot of land and self-construction. If you are an NRI applicant, you must have a local contact person or a local co-applicant to apply for this loan.

 

4. Loan tenure: You may avail loan tenures up to 20 years. If you are a salaried customer, you may avail one for even up to 25 years.

 

5. If you are taking out a loan for a property under construction, the loan will be disbursed in tranches. The interest will be levied only on the amount disbursed. Pre-Equated Monthly Instalment (Pre-EMI) is payable until the final disbursement of the loan. Only after the loan is fully disbursed will the Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) be payable.
