Loan Against Property Interest Rate_WC

When you opt for a floating interest rate on your Loan Against Property, you are linking your interest rate to the market. This allows a range of movement in the interest you stand to pay, which could increase or decrease – passing both the benefit and the surge to you.

In such cases, your interest rate has two components:

  1. The Benchmark Rate: Our internal benchmark rate is the BHFL FRR. When this rate changes from time to time, it directly impacts your Loan Against Property interest rate.
  2. The Spread: This is the additional margin that a lender adds to the benchmark rate to determine your final interest rate. While the benchmark rate is common across the lender within a loan category, the spread is determined on the basis of the individual’s profile.

What this effectively means is that any movement in the benchmark rate has an impact on the floating interest rate you pay on your loan, which translates to either more savings or more interest payable – depending on the current market conditions.

Before you decide to avail of a Loan Against Property, you must understand how your interest rate could change over the course of the repayment tenor and how it may impact you. Below are the pros and cons of opting for a floating interest rate.
