FAQs on Home Loan Transfer to SBI
- How do I know if I will benefit from a home loan transfer?
It would be wise to do a cost analysis and see if switching over would save money. If the change in rate of interest is at least 1%, the transfer will be beneficial. Even though you may be free of processing fees, factor in other costs that come with transfer of loans before you make this decision. You can do a calculation of home loan transfers online.
- What costs are incurred during a home loan transfer?
When you transfer a loan, the whole process begins again for the new bank, so you might have to consider processing fees, valuation charges, inspection fee, lawyer's fee, stamp duty, etc.
- I have 1 year left on my home loan, is it wise to switch so late in the loan tenure?
If your loan tenure remaining is very less, it wouldn't be advisable to switch your loans as your interest component in your EMI is very less. To take full advantage of a transfer, it is best to switch earlier on in the tenure.

Power of Attorney is a written legal authorization for another person to act on your behalf. It grants the person rights to handle your affairs with relation to the specified situation.
