Home Loan

Pay off your Home Loan faster with these tips

Summary: Adopting some simple tips can help pay off a home loan faster. This exempts you from your home mortgage sooner and can shorten the overall loan duration.

10 Jan 2023 by Team FinFIRST

A home loan is a long-term commitment, and paying EMIs for years can impact your long-term finances

Here are some tips to reduce your home loan liability within a shorter duration

1. Down payment:
 

A larger down payment can reduce your home loan amount, allowing you to repay the loan faster 

2. Tenure:
 

A shorter loan tenure reduces the loan liability period. However, it could mean a higher EMI, so ensure you are comfortable with the amount 

 

 

3. EMI amount:
 

When interest rate changes occur, check if the EMI amount can be increased rather than the loan tenure to speed up repayments

4. Interest rate:
 

If interest rates fall, check with the lender if the home loan tenure can be reduced by increasing monthly payments  

5. Consolidate:
 

Consider consolidating multiple debts into one loan with a low-interest rate. The money saved can go towards your home loan repayment  

6. Balance Transfer:
 

Opting for a home loan balance transfer can help reduce your interest payout

IDFC FIRST Bank offers a FASTTRACK Balance Transfer facility and affordable interest rates on home loans and balance transfers.

So, make the most of these available facilities and take control of your home loan repayment today!
