I have a question, say my mom has another 100k remaining balance to be settled for the housing loan, can I buy the house at 100k from her?
Will the bank give me a loan based on that amount, or based on the evaluated value of the house?
Yes you could.
For all instances, the bank will give loans based the lowest of these:
1. valuation as per done verbally by the banks' panel of valuers
2. the booking and/or SPA and/or transfer prices
So in your case, the bank will give
90% of the transfer price. If you put the transfer price as RM110k for example, the loan given would be RM99k.
Since this is a transfer between related parties, the banks financing your loan would probably ask for loan statement of the parent just to see if this is not a "refinancing" of sorts to clear off bad debts
In addition, may I suggest that you buy the house at the market value anyway? This way "your mom" could get to capitalize and borrow more from the bank. Mortgages has the
cheapest financing rate a normal citizen, if you miss the opportunity and apply for a refinancing at a later date, you would have to pay these again:
1. legal ees
2. stamp duty on the legal fees
3. valuation
