HSN Group – Helping You Plan Your Dream Home the Smart Way

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make — and proper planning can save you from stress later. At HSN Group, we guide our clients through the full financial calculation so they know exactly what to expect.

Step 1 Fix Your Budget

  • Decide your maximum purchase price based on your income, savings, and monthly commitments.
    • As a rule of thumb: Your home loan EMI should not exceed 40% of your monthly income.

Step 2 – Calculate the Down Payment

  • Most banks finance 75–80% of the property cost.
    • You’ll need to arrange 20–25% as a down payment from your own funds.
    • Example:
      • Property Price = ₹80 Lakhs
      • Loan @ 80% = ₹64 Lakhs
  • Down Payment = ₹16 Lakhs (plus other charges)

Step 3 – Add Stamp Duty s Registration

  • In Bengaluru:
    • Stamp Duty = 5% of property value
    • Registration Charges = 1% of property value
    • Example for ₹80 Lakhs property:
      • Stamp Duty = ₹4 Lakhs
      • Registration = ₹80,000

Step 4 Include Additional Costs

· Legal s Documentation fees
  • Home loan processing fee (0.25–1% of loan)
· Society / Maintenance deposit
  • Clubhouse / Amenities charges (for new projects)
· Electricity s Water connection charges

Step 5 – Calculate EMI s Loan Tenure

  • Use a bank EMI calculator.
    • Factors: Loan amount, tenure (usually 15–30 years), interest rate (currently ~8–9% p.a.).
    • Example: ₹64 Lakhs loan @ 8.5% for 20 years → EMI ≈ ₹55,000/month.

Step 6 Account for Monthly Expenses After Moving In

  • Maintenance charges (₹2–6/sq ft per month for apartments)
    • Property tax
    • Utilities (electricity, water, gas, internet)
    • Insurance (home C contents)

˙• HSN Group Pro Tip: Always keep an emergency reserve equal to 6–8 months of EMI + household expenses. This ensures you’re financially secure even if your income changes temporarily.
