The interest rate on your home loan is one of the most important factors and also has the ability to affect the total cost of your house. Higher value and longer tenure – these are the usual demanded features of a home loan. Therefore, even a minute difference in the interest rates can prove to have considerable financial implications. Lower interest rates for home loans will not only reduce the outgoing EMIs, but will also affect the overall interest payout. It is very imperative to look at all possible options available and choose the one which offers the lowest rate on interest.

People looking for home loans should be well-versed with the fact that along with interest rates, several other charges also impact the total cost of your loan. These other charges include pre-paymentand CERSAI costs as well. It is essential to pay attention to these additional charges, in order to boil down to the best housing loan option.

At times, some lenders have the same housing loan interests but the additional charges varies. In such instances, the associated fees may create a huge difference in the total cost of the home loan.

Currently, home loans are being offered with interest rateswhich can be changed with time. These are known as floating rates and are linked to external benchmarks. Loan rates change if there is a change in the benchmark. Mostly banks have made RBI’s repo rate, their external benchmark.
