Difference between Co- Owner, Co-Borrower, Co-Applicant, and Co- Signer
Co – borrower A co-borrower in a housing loan is someone who, along with the principal borrower, shares responsibility for debt repayment if the primary borrower fails to do so. A co-borrower applies for a loan alongside the primary borrower, and both parties are legally obligated to repay the loan.
Co-owner A co-owner is someone who has a legal interest in the property alongside the primary borrower. Most banks, financial institutions, and housing finance companies require co-owners to become co-borrowers alongside the primary borrower.
Co-applicant Loan repayment is shared among co- applicants. In some cases, a co-applicant may be a respondent to a home loan to meet the bank's eligibility requirements. Only a few specific relationships, such as brother-brother, father-son, mother-son, husband-wife, and so on, are permitted to be added as co-applicants on a home loan.
Co-signer Co-signers are typically used when the primary borrower does not meet the requirements for a home loan due to a poor credit history. Because participation is required due to the primary borrower's lower credit rating, the co-signer must have a strong credit rating. Being a co-signer may make it more difficult to obtain credit in the future.
