Delhi-NCR prices rose 18% year-on-year in Q1 2026, among the sharpest increases of any major metro, though Knight Frank data shows NCR sales volume actually fell 9% YoY — a sign price growth may be outpacing genuine buyer absorption in some segments. That's the backdrop for anyone financing a purchase, transfer, or equity release in Delhi right now.
Market
Average residential property in Delhi currently trades around ₹9,534/sq ft (Delhi-NCR average, Q1 2026).
One thing worth flagging early: Delhi's combined stamp duty and registration cost is a real percentage of your total outlay, not a minor fee — it's worth getting your lender's eligibility estimate to include this cost, not just the property price.
Delhi buyers pay 6% (male) / 4% (female) + 1% registration.
Products
Which product fits depends on where in Delhi you're looking and what you already own: fresh purchases in growth areas usually mean a New Home Loan; existing owners in established localities more often explore Loan Against Property or a rate-driven Balance Transfer.
New Home Loan works best if you're purchasing for the first time and don't yet own qualifying collateral. Loan Against Property suits existing Delhi owners who need a lump sum and have meaningful equity built up — it's typically cheaper than an unsecured loan since the property secures it. Home Loan Balance Transfer is worth evaluating any time your existing rate sits meaningfully above what new-to-bank customers are getting quoted today — even a 0.5-1% rate difference compounds significantly over a long tenure.
Eligibility
Delhi lenders assess three pillars: income stability, property title clarity, and creditworthiness. Salaried applicants typically need 2+ years' continuous employment; self-employed applicants need 2-3 years of filed returns. Minimum credit score: 700+ (750+ preferred for the best rates).

Tips
Two practical tips for Delhi applicants: first, get a rough property valuation done informally before applying, so your expected loan amount matches reality. Second, keep your FOIR (existing EMI obligations relative to income) below what the lender internal threshold requires — this is the quiet reason many otherwise-strong applications get a lower sanction than expected.
