i just wana correct u on this statement regarding top up loan...
they do provide top up loan and it's cal term loan, they will send a person to inspect ur house and will revalue before giving you more top up loan..and no process fee, except some fee which is around RM500..maybe your SA no knowledge on this...

and for this top up loan, a different BLR will kicks in, depends on the market rate which i get a better rate for the top up loan..
one thing im suprise is applying top up loan is easier than applying for a new loan for the new house.

the only downside to ocbc homeloan is probably when your property rise in price and you would like to apply for a top-up loan. they do not facilitate top up loan....ie your borrow 500k today and 3 years down the road other bank can lend you 700k, giving you 200k to invest in another unit......for ocbc, they can offer the renovation loan but it is bearing a much higher interest.
while you can just refinance with another bank, the legal fee and stamp duty will be based on the full amount and not the top up amount.
so that will increase your cost a little.
but of course, this will only happy when your property rise in price and you want to invest another one. otherwise, nothing to complain about ocbc loan
