Generally ,for the purpose of Housing LOan , the house property should be in the name of the borrower/joint borrowers. If the property stands / purchased in the name of your father, you cannot avail the housing loan for the area / property to be purchased in the name of your father.
2. You can become the joint owner ,in which event , you and your father can become joint borrowers for the purpose of HL.
3. The instrument of sale deed/ or other document should be in the joint names. It depends upon by what document the extra area will be acquired on ownership basis.
The Registartion should be in the names of your father and yourself.
4. You can execute the Power of Attorney duly notarised to aquire the property on your bahlf and execute the necessery documents to avail the Housing Loan from the Financial Institution/s, Banks etc. on your behalf.
You can contact the Bank/s or Financial Institutions from where you intend to avail the HL for further guidance and in turn they would refer the issue to their lawyers in the panel for the purpose of getting the legal opinion and the documents to be executed.
