Plot + Construction Loan tips

[nikhilk21]

Hi everyone. I'm planning to take a loan to buy a piece of residential land from a developer. I came to know from the bank people that the interest rate would be lower if I take it as a plot + construction loan wherein there's a tenure from the loan disbursement within which I should've started construction. In Hdfc it is 2 years, SBI it is 3 years and ICICI it is 4 years.

I'm planning to go with ICICI as the construction wait period is longer and anyway I don't have intention to construct as this is more for an investment purpose. I aim to take the loan tenure for 6 years and try to close it by 4. The interest rate offered to me is 8.7% (780+ CIBIL)

As this is my first loan, I'm looking for any general tips and advice. Is it possible to pay emi with credit card?

Check my home loan thread 🧵 on how to save money on interest.
Also icici is good choice but keep in mind if they allow smooth pre - payment of random amounts.
Else go with sbi ..
If you have specific questions ask

Will take a look at your thread. I think SBI offers slightly lower interest rate but I'm genuinely afraid to do any business with them. Worried that I might get scammed or that there won't be good customer support/flexibility in pre-payment.

Sbi or any psu bank is best in pre payment
Hdfc is most cocky ..
Icici I heard is okiesh among private just ask clearly about pre payment
It will save tons of money on intrest if you planning to repay early

Yes , psu Banks are pocket friendly to customers, when it comes to interest rates, pre payment, less charges but customer support is ok , cannot expect same as private.

But I feel ok to go with psu if you have time to save money on loan interest charges

Go with SBI, the loan process is a bit tedious but prepayment is smooth and you can get most problems sorted over RACPC email

The only problem with SBI is their minimum time period to start construction is 3 years. If we dont start by then, they may increase the interest to the commercial rate. From my understanding, this is not uniform and some people may be audited randomly and based on that they would increase. Given that I am not planning to construct, it seems a bit risky. That's why I am leaning towards ICICI where the time period is 4 years...
