Dear Petre,any to recommend?
as i am first time buyer, what are the things i should watch out/learn about?

For first time home buyer, what you need to be aware of is as following:
1. Subsales property, make sure it has title (strata or indiv) or master title which is less than 10 years. Master title more than 10 years, not many bank would finance it, so beware.
2. Loan package in the market has 3, semi and full flex + fixed rate package.
3. Loan tenure max is 35 years for mortgage if your age is less than 36years old.
4. It will be wise to apply for 3-4 banks max. More than that, there would be complication. If lets say 1 bank reject you, it will be recorded in the CCRIS and other bank would able to see it. So you know the drill, when 1 bank reject, it might be a domino effect.
5. you will get 50% stamp duty discount on your first purchase
6. you are eligible for 100% loan, if you meet SPR criteria. Do visit SPR website for 100% rumah housing scheme.
7. Make sure you get your loan approved before signing SPA.
8. Have mortgage consultant checked all your documents and calculate your loan eligibility before signing booking form.
9. Different bank have different policy, hence acceptance of loan really depends on your profile
10. Interest rate right now is running on Base rate, the interest rate you get is based on your overall profile.
Extra!
Things to look out when signing Letter offer.
a) Query the penalty charges. If any late payment involve in the future, how much will the bank increase the rate and will the rate be reversible
b) Whether the loan interest is daily rest or montly rest
c) additional fees incurred
d) Lock in period (for under construction property)
whether charges of penalty effective from 3 years of 1st disbursement or 3 years of full disbursement.
For our under construction property it is important as:
"1st disbursement" happens in 2015 = 2015+3 years
"full disbursement"happens in 2017= 2017+3 years
see the difference? full disbursement actually takes 3+3 years means 6 years before penalty is voided.
e) make sure all the stipulated charges you listed are the same in the letter offer.
f) how penalty charges are charged, on the outstanding amount or the loan limit.
"loan limit" is the amount loan you borrowed from bank since day1.
g) Tried calling the bank service centre and see if they pick up and provide good quality service.
