Yes, it is possible to get a home loan with a low credit score. However, the eligibility criteria may vary from one lender to another. Lenders may give higher interest rates if the credit score is low. This might increase your EMIs and add to your total borrowing cost over time.
The ideal tenure again depends on how much you can afford to pay per month. A longer tenure reduces your EMIs and increases the payback of interests. However, opting for a shorter tenure lets you save on interest but involves higher monthly payments.
Most of the lenders offer loans with a maximum tenure of 30 years. However, your eligibility depends on age and several other factors specific to the lender.
The EMI depends on the interest rate and tenure. For example, at an interest rate of 8.45% p.a. over 30 years, the approximate EMI is ₹42,095.
For a 20-year tenure and an interest rate of 8.45% p.a., the EMI would be approximately ₹47,556. The EMI amount will vary if you change the loan tenure or the rate of interest.
