• Credit Score: All lenders consider the loan applicant's credit score. People with a higher credit score are more likely to be eligible for a higher Home Loan

• LTV (Loan to Value) Ratio: This is the proportion of the loan amount that goes towards the home's appraised value

• Economic Conditions: Broader economic aspects such as central bank policies, market trends and inflation can impact interest rates

• Borrower’s Debt-To-Income Ratio: All lenders check the borrower’s debt and income levels to determine their repayment capacity and accordingly, the interest rate.

• Make additional repayments: When you make extra repayments towards the principal amount, you reduce the outstanding loan amount and consequently, the interest to be paid

• Choose a shorter loan duration: Opting for a loan with a shorter duration (tenure) will result in higher monthly payments but lower interest payout

• Negotiate with the lender: If applicable, you should negotiate with the lender to obtain a lower interest rate.
