Hi,

Does any one using this loan package. Pls share some light to me. My main concern is the advance/prepayment. Let's say mthly installment is RM1k, and I pay RM1.5k every mth to the loan a/c. Does the RM500 will deduct from the Principal amt , then reducing the interest charge?

I called up two mortgage officers.

One said"No", the extra payment will park in the a/c and utilise as a mthly installment when due. Notice has to be given to bank if want the extra payment to be deduct the principal. She advise me to take up the full flexi mortgage loan.  

The other one said YES, the advance payment of RM500 will be deducted to principal, hence reduce the outstanding amt and  the interest rate chg, automatically done in the system. She is not advise me to take up the full flexi as there is a mthly charge of RM10.

So, which one is correct ah? I also blurr blurr now. 

p/s: Does the full flexi calculation of interest is the same with the conventional loan when there is an prepayment? Anyone know?

maybe i can help to englighten on this;

there's a different between a semi-flexi and a full-flexi.
1) Full flexi = housing loan acc linked with current acc
2) Semi flexi = housing loan only (standing instruction or schedule payment from current acc is not consider linked, but more of an instruction to transfer fund from c/a towards your loan account on a specific schedule.)

explanation;
scenario 1= a full flexi mortgage structure is linked with a current acc, in which the balance in c/a will be taken into consideration when it comes to interest calculation on your principal. I'm suprised that the officer says "no" cause theoritically, even if there is no extra payment made towards the loan acc, the balance in your c/a will still be taken into consideration as principal reduction.

by right, it doesnt matter if the additional is made towards the loan or the c/a, it is still principal reduction if its in either one of it. by left... i wouldnt know how it works there... tongue.gif (check with her again perhaps?)


scenario 2 = semi-flexi has only 1 account. in order for your to reduce your principal, the money MUST credit into the housing loan account (subject to LO TnC). any payment made to your c/a has nothing to do with your principal as these accs are not linked. so the 2nd officer is "korek". =)

hope the above helps.

Thanks for the explanation.

Actually for scenariio 1= I asked the officer regarding the conventional loan, she said not flexi then advise me better to take other fully flexi package.

Scen 2= so this is "korek" haha. You means whatever extra payment to loan a/c will deduct the principal amt. Come to this LO, how about the T&C stated that we have to give advance notice to make extra payment..... but the officer told me not need because their LO not update, the LO still based on the old one,  but the banking system already upgrade. How come rclxub.gif ? I am afraid after signing will regret later, every mth has to notice bank to give advance payment doh.gif .

Got to inform bank? I thought automatically deduct from the bank system?.Why dont like fully flexi? If any time make advance payment has to inform bank, i wld rather take fully flexi. Save time.

Heard also Hleong islamic no locking period, hope you can share with us if you got any futher info. Thx.

whether its semi or full flexi, its more or less the same thing. just think of it as a manual car or auto car... higher FC and up-keep fees for the convenience vs more leg work with lesser maintaince cost... relatively speaking. tongue.gif

from personal point of view, i'll say go full-flexi if you have the additional cash and IF you going to roll the money very often.

else, stick with semi-flexi as its more straight forward when it comes down to numbers.

i'm not entirely sure about UOB's pratices, but u can check with the officers what sort of notice to make the additional payment? over the counter notice, 1 month notice in advance etc.

any UOB officer here to help out? blink.gif
