You purchase a house that costs 800000TL. For this you take out a loan from a bank for 25 years at 8.8% interest. You will pay your debt by making equal monthly payments. After 15 years the interest rates have dropped. Another bank offers you 7.5% interest. You decide to take out a second loan for the next 10 years, which will be paid monthly to this new bank and you pay off your total debt to the first bank.
