Balance Transfer

Move your loan, improve your terms.

A Balance Transfer moves the outstanding balance of an existing loan to another lender. The usual reason is pricing, but tenure, servicing and the flexibility of the structure matter just as much. We work out whether a transfer is genuinely worth it once every cost is counted.

Key Highlights

What this facility gives you.

Re-price an existing loan

Where your profile or the market has improved since the original sanction, a transfer can reset the terms.

Costed honestly

Foreclosure charges, processing fees and legal costs are set against the saving before we recommend anything.

Restructure the tenure

A transfer is also an opportunity to re-cut the tenure so the EMI fits your current cash flow.

Who it suits

  • Borrowers whose credit profile has improved since the original sanction
  • Loans running at a rate well above what the profile now commands
  • Borrowers wanting a longer tenure and a lighter monthly outflow
  • Anyone unhappy with servicing on an otherwise healthy loan

Documents usually required

  • KYC of all applicants
  • Sanction letter and repayment schedule of the existing loan
  • Loan account statement and list of documents held by the current lender
  • Foreclosure or outstanding balance letter from the existing lender
  • Income proof, bank statements and property papers where the loan is secured

The final checklist depends on the lender, your constitution type and the facility structure.

Questions

Frequently asked.

When is a Balance Transfer actually worth it?

When the total saving over the remaining tenure comfortably exceeds the cost of moving. On a loan with only a short period left, it often does not – and we will say so.

Does a Balance Transfer need a clean track record?

Effectively, yes. The new lender examines how the existing loan has been serviced, and recent delays are the most common reason a transfer is declined.

How long does a transfer take?

It depends on how quickly the existing lender issues the foreclosure letter and releases documents, alongside the new lender's own processing. We coordinate both sides.
