Taking out a home loan is a significant financial decision, and it’s essential to find the best deal possible. Sometimes, after taking out a loan, you may find that another lender offers better terms. This is where a home loan balance transfer can come in handy. In simple terms, it allows you to shift your existing loan to another lender who may offer you lower interest rates, better repayment options, or better customer service. But how do you do it, and what are the benefits? Let’s break it down.

What is a home loan balance transfer?

A home loan balance transfer is an effective way to lower the interest rate on your existing loan. Here’s how it works: if you find a lender offering a more favourable rate than your current one, you can transfer your remaining loan balance to them. This could lead to reduced EMIs and substantial savings on the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

With a Bajaj Housing Finance Home Loan Balance Transfer, you can access competitive interest rates starting from 8.30%* p.a., along with flexible repayment terms. You can also apply for a top-up loan on your existing loan amount, helping you fund additional needs such as home renovations or repairs. The process is simple: check your eligibility, apply online, and enjoy a smooth transition that lightens your loan burden and maximizes your savings.

Is home loan balance transfer right for you?

A home loan balance transfer can be a great way to save money and reduce your financial burden. However, it’s not suitable for everyone. If you’re paying off a home loan with a fixed interest rate, transferring your balance to a lender offering a lower variable rate could help you save on interest. But if your loan is nearing completion, the transfer process might not be worth it.

If you’re looking to transfer your home loan to a lender that offers great benefits, consider Bajaj Housing Finance Home Loan.

Yes, you can transfer a home loan during a moratorium period, but it depends on the policies of the new lender. They may review your repayment capacity and outstanding loan balance before approving the transfer. Check with the new lender for specific terms.
