Understanding Balance Transfer
Balance transfer allows you to move your existing home loan to a new lender offering better terms. The primary benefit is usually a lower interest rate, which can save significant money over the remaining tenure.
Key Considerations
- Interest Rate Difference: The larger the difference, the more you save
- Transfer Costs: Processing fees, legal fees, and prepayment charges reduce net savings
- Break-Even Period: Time needed to recover transfer costs
- Credit Score: Multiple inquiries can temporarily affect your score
- Remaining Tenure: Longer remaining tenure means more potential savings
