  • Confirm eligibility, property rules, fees, and insurance in a dated written quotation.

How to use this profile

Use SBI ARUHI Flat 35 as one entry on a screened shortlist, not as a verdict. A fair comparison holds the execution date, loan-to-value band, term, insurance, and expected holding period constant across every lender, and weighs the all-in cost — the execution-month rate, the origination or guarantee fee, insurance additions, registration, and any early-repayment charge — over the years you actually expect to hold the loan, rather than the headline rate alone. A 2.20% origination fee on a ¥50 million loan is ¥1.10 million before other costs, which can outweigh a small rate difference for a short holding period.

Because pricing changes monthly and some fields are not disclosed on the public page, request a dated written quotation showing your actual rate, discount margin, fees, insurance options, and any LTV or term surcharge, and reconcile the headline page with the detailed-course page where they differ. Cover a major bank, an online bank, a relationship or regional bank, and any specialist route you need before deciding, and confirm eligibility for your residence status, income type, and the specific property.
