Model the transfer under three future rate paths

Start here

A floating-rate loan transfer is based on a rate difference that may change. Compare the old and new loan if both rates stay where they are, if both rise by 1%, and if the new lender’s advantage narrows. This avoids treating today’s spread as guaranteed for ten years.

What applies to this exact problem

Check these first

• Check remaining tenure after the switch: Ask the new lender for the exact amortisation schedule. If the tenure quietly resets to twenty years, force a second calculation using your current loan’s remaining end date. The difference reveals whether the lower EMI is genuine saving or merely slower repayment.
• Include internal conversion as a third option: Your existing lender may offer a rate reset or spread reduction for an administrative fee. Even if its rate is slightly higher than the new lender’s, lower switching costs can produce a faster break-even.
• Plan the document handover: Obtain the old lender’s original-document list before closing. Confirm how and when the new lender receives the property documents and whether any borrower must attend in person. Keep acknowledgements at every stage.

Fix it in this order

1. Check remaining tenure after the switch: Ask the new lender for the exact amortisation schedule. If the tenure quietly resets to twenty years, force a second calculation using your current loan’s remaining end date. The difference reveals whether the lower EMI is genuine saving or merely slower repayment.
2. Include internal conversion as a third option: Your existing lender may offer a rate reset or spread reduction for an administrative fee. Even if its rate is slightly higher than the new lender’s, lower switching costs can produce a faster break-even.
3. Plan the document handover: Obtain the old lender’s original-document list before closing. Confirm how and when the new lender receives the property documents and whether any borrower must attend in person. Keep acknowledgements at every stage.
4. Recheck after transfer: Verify the old loan is closed, the new principal is correct, all fees match the offer, auto-debit works and the first statement reflects the agreed benchmark and spread. A transfer is not finished when the new lender pays the old lender; it is finished when both records are correct.
5. Compare the old and new loan if both rates stay where they are, if both rise by 1%, and if the new lender’s advantage narrows.
6. Check remaining tenure after the switch Ask the new lender for the exact amortisation schedule.
7. Plan the document handover Obtain the old lender’s original-document list before closing.
