Different only 2-3k but you will lost of penalty total of 3% of 240k at RM8.4k if you decided to sell it within the locking period. Meaning with PBB you will have 8 years locking period whereas other bank only 5 years from the first disbursement which expected start on March 2010. After completion, left only 2 years of bonding period.
We won't know on that time whether want to sell it or rent it. So better opt for other bank other than PBB.
I got ask that gal about the locking period.She told me from 1st drawndown...but i'll check the Letter Offer once i get it...Verbally also cannot be trusted 1...
