Home Loan Foreclosure Do’s

If you have decided to foreclose a loan, here are a few things that you should do. 

Talk to Your Lender About Foreclosure Charges

Individual borrowers with floating interest rates can foreclose their loans at no additional cost. However, there may be certain charges you may have to pay on a fixed interest Home Loan. So, if you have decided to foreclose the loan, talk to your lender about foreclosure charges and do a cost-benefit analysis before closing the loan. 

Inform Your Lender of Your Intention to Foreclose the Loan

Once you have decided to prepay or foreclose the loan, write to your lender informing them of your intention to do so. Your application must contain your name, address, loan account details and other important details. Once your lender receives the letter, they will inform you about the outstanding amount. Clear the outstanding amount and foreclose your loan.

Here are a few things you shouldn't do while foreclosing a loan. 

Forgetting to Collect All Original Documents 

When you opt for a housing loan, the lender keeps the original copy of several property-related documents, such as the title deed, and sales deed. While foreclosing the loan, remember to ask your lender to return all the original documents they have with them. 

Not Taking the No-Objection Certificate 

The No-Objection Certificate is an important legal document that serves as proof that you have cleared your loan in its entirety and that the property in question now belongs solely to you. You will need NOC to settle any wrongful claims on your property as well as if you ever decide to take another Home Loan. So, remember to ask your lender for this document.
