How to lower your home loan cost
- Keep a credit score of 750+: lenders price loans by risk.
- Make a bigger down payment: a loan-to-value ratio under 80% often gets a better rate.
- Prepay early: even one extra EMI a year can cut a 20-year loan by about 3–4 years. Calculate your savings.
- Review your rate yearly: if your spread is higher than new-customer offers, ask your bank to reprice or switch lenders.
