Banks are all set for the anticipated correction the realty market and it’s the prospective home loan borrowers who will be hit. Expecting a fall in property rates, lenders have either increased or are planning to increase the borrower’s share in the actual cost of a home (down payment). Until recently, some banks were financing up to 90% of the home purchase value while other conservative ones had been giving out 85-90% of the actual price as loan. But according to a survey, some banks have now started increasing margins on home loans, which means borrowers will have to shell out more while purchasing a house. Even the public sector banks, which are already strict with their margins, might increase the borrower's share. However, big lenders like ICICI plan to stick to current margin levels.
