But while owning a home brings a sense of accomplishment and stability, the ever-increasing property prices may prove challenging for you to afford one. In such a scenario, getting a home loan is the most feasible way to finance your property purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, several factors influence your eligibility for a loan, such as your income, ongoing liabilities, credit score, age, among others. But did you know you can pair with a co-borrower to enhance your overall eligibility? A co-borrower (also known as a co-applicant) can also help you get the loan on more competitive terms and significantly improve the chances of approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s explore how a co-borrower can impact your <a href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/home-loan\/home-loan-eligibility-calculator.html\">home loan eligibility<\/a> favorably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who can be a co-borrower?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An immediate family member or blood relative can be your home loan co-borrower. Typically, lenders give the first preference to your spouse with an income. Your parents, children, and siblings can also become co-applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the age of your parents plays a vital role in determining eligibility if you add them as co-borrowers. But since every lender has its own set of guidelines, you should carefully check with them before taking the loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:red\"><strong>Additional Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/home-loan\/what-are-joint-home-loans-eligibility-and-documents-required-for-it\/\">What are Joint Home Loans? Eligibility and Documents Required for It<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does a co-borrower improve your eligibility for a loan?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a co-borrower in housing loan enhances your eligibility in several ways. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lowers the DTI (Debt to Income) ratio: DTI is simply the ratio of your total EMI to your monthly income. A high DTI is one of the primary reasons for low loan eligibility. However, since lenders consider the income of both the co-borrowers when you apply for a joint loan, your eligibility naturally increases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher loan amount: Consider this \u2013 If you choose your working spouse as a co-applicant, the lender will pool your monthly incomes to assess loan eligibility. As a result, the loan limit offered to you will be much higher. This method will allow you to get speedy approval and get a higher loan amount as your EMI affordability will increase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fetches competitive interest rate: Since a co-borrower supplements your repayment capability, you can get relatively better <a href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/home-loan\/rates-and-charges.html\">home loan interest rates<\/a> on loan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps you get a loan with a low credit score: In case your credit score falls short of the lender\u2019s requirements, your score combined with the credit score of your co-borrower can still save the day. This way, you can also boost the chances of your loan approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:red\"><strong>Additional Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/home-loan\/difference-between-a-co-borrower-co-owner-co-signer-and-co-applicant-of-a-home-loan\/\">Difference between a Co-borrower, Co-owner, Co-signer and Co-applicant of a Home Loan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To sum up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you thinking of buying a house but having second thoughts due to lack of funds?
