Merits And Demerits Of Single Ownership Of A Property



In general, there are two major types of property ownership and they are single ownership and joint ownership. In the case of single or sole ownership, only one individual has the full ownership on the property whereas, in the case of joint ownership, two or more people share the ownership. Single ownership is the most common one.

Merits
If you are eligible to get approved a home loan and you are financially stable to pay back the lone by your own then single ownership is the right choice. Otherwise, you need to wait patiently till your co-owner meets his financial liability in sharing the payments. If your co-borrower possess a low CIBIL score then it affects your home loan eligibility in the case of joint ownership. In case you need to sell the property in future, if it is fully owned by you need not take the other’s approval to do so.

Demerits
In single ownership, you can’t share the financial burden with one another.  If you have a low CIBIL score and not financially that much stable, by applying for a joint home loan with one who is having much more financial stability, you are improving your home loan eligibility. A rebate on stamp duty is applicable in the case of joint property ownership.

Tips to improve CIBIL Credit score


Low CIBIL score is one of the primary reasons for applications for home loans to get rejected. Improving the credit score is the only solution for it.

Here are some tips to improve credit score.

• Check CIBIL Report – Reviewing the credit report 3-4 times a year is beneficial for financial habits and for checking discrepancies in reports. It also helps check personal details like name, age, PAN number, etc. and confirm accuracy.

• Restrict utilization – Using less loan amount according to the requirement is beneficial. This will improve score as lower credit means lower EMI.

• Late Payment – This is one of the major reasons for a bad score. So it is better to make sure to pay EMI or credit balance in time. Neglecting it and bargaining with credit providers later is not beneficial.

• Mix of Credit – Do not over expose to any one type of credit like unsecured loans or a high number of credit cards. Instead, have credits like home loan, car loan, personal loan or credit loan.
