Tata Capital > Blog > Things to Consider Before Taking a Home Improvement Loan
It is said that your house is a reflection of its owner. And this is indeed true. The way a house is kept and maintained clearly indicates the personality and status of the owners.
But just like cost of purchasing a new house is not small, similarly cost of carrying out improvement works on your existing houses is not small either. This means that one should be ready to shell out a lot of money for improvement or renovation of the house. But in case funds are not available, there is always home improvement loans that can help you get the job done.
Before taking a home improvement loan, there are few things to make note of. Lets discuss these briefly.
Do not go overboard with you home improvement loan. You can easily get almost 100% of the cost estimates of the renovation. But make sure you don’t go overboard and only borrow what is actually needed. The loan has to be paid back with interest. So it’s in your interest to reduce the loan amount.
If you think you can clear off the loan earlier by paying higher EMIs, please do so. This will save you tons of money on interest cost alone.
Home improvement loans are easily available for those who have been repaying their existing home loan diligently and on time. So you as a borrower should be willing to try and get your loan rates reduced. This will save you money in the long run.
Home Improvement Loans qualify for tax benefits. Do not forget to claim these benefits at the time of filing of returns.
Remember your credit repayment history plays a major role in approval of your new loan application. So ensure that you pay all your existing home loan EMIs on time without fail. This will help you build up a good credit score.
