Home
loans are available at a high rate of interest and the borrower has to pay back
along with the principle amount the amount added as interest in the EMI. As the
rates of property are very high so does the loan amount keep increasing and
becoming larger and larger. With trends since many years regarding home loan
borrowers it has been noticed that the intelligent borrower is always in a
hurry to close down his home loan earlier than the repayment tenure in the home
loan agreement.
Why
is this trend going on and still all borrowers of home loans are waiting for
any opportunity to close down earlier than the total repayment tenure date
given in the agreement. Many times there is also a prepayment fees and penalty
fees for closing down your home loan earlier than the predefined loan tenure
but still people who have borrowed large sums as loan try to repay the loan
earlier and as soon as they have extra funds or money in any form as bonus,
increment or rise in salary.
Your
EMI will have the principle amount along with the interest amount and this
makes up the total amount of your EMI. Monthly, you as borrower of home loan
have to shell out this amount regularly for say 15 to 20 years. So as the loan
tenure progresses, so does the interest rate increase, and in the long run,
this home loan becomes difficult for you to be committed for a large repayment
amount. This not only creates undue stress but also sometimes becomes a burden
to give away precious finances in way of interest to the housing finance
company.
An
intelligent borrower will first and foremost enquire about early prepayment and
closing of the home loan and their terms and conditions. Before you commit to
any housing finance company it is advisable to enquire about the prepayment and
closure of loan rules and processing and penalty fees involved. Since most
companies have a minimum 2% of extra fees this amount may vary from lender to
lender.
As
time will progress you may get additional bonuses and perks or unexpected rise
and if you can collect the remaining home loan amount then it is best to repay
your loan and take possession of your home documents at the earliest. You will
not only save precious money which would have otherwise gone in terms of
interest but you will also be free and have ownership title of your flat.
