Will a better interest rate on my bond make much of a difference?
The home loan interest rate determines how much you’re going to have to pay the bank, above and beyond the actual value of the home you are purchasing. A rate cut of as little as 0.25% on, say, a R1 million home loan, can save you close to R40 000 over 20-year term. That’s why, when applying for a home loan, one of your most important goals should be to secure the lowest home loan interest rate possible.
