There is no wrong time to buy a home. You can purchase your home whenever you are financially capable to pay for it. And, in order to own your dream house, you can always opt for a home loan. While a home loan for working individuals in itself involves various approvals, for retired senior citizens, it might seem impossible due to a restricted income source. However, that is not true.

With a home loan, you can easily have your dream house, be it amidst the mountains or alongside the beach. The best part is, you can comfortably repay the loan as per your financial capability and choose a flexible tenure that could go up to 20 years.

However, you must know the different aspects of availing a home loan. The list of required documents is one of them. If you plan to avail a home loan after your retirement, here is the list of documents that you would need to submit to the lender.
