There are several reasons you might need to discharge your home loan:
If you’re moving your home loan to another bank or financial institution, you’ll need to discharge your current IMB mortgage. Your new lender will usually help with the process, but we’ll guide you through what’s required on our end.
Selling your home means paying out your existing loan as part of settlement. A discharge ensures the mortgage is removed from the property title once the loan is fully repaid.
Ready to pay out your home loan in full? Congratulations! Once your loan is completely repaid, we’ll help you discharge the mortgage and close the account. This ensures the property title is clear and your obligations with IMB are finalised.
A discharge form may be required If you have multiple properties linked on one loan and are looking to discharge one or more properties.
