Thanks guys for the input, which one is better fix or flexi loan?
Currently looking for suitable loan packages. Normally how long will it takes for approval or rejection?
Dear Kingsora,
U mean fixed and (semi/full flexi) ?
Take note*(This is just example of a bank, different bank has different modus operandi)
Full flexi:
1) current account tied to loan account
2) auto debit from current account at month end and interest is calculated based on outstanding balance minus amount in current account
3) maintenance charge of RM10 per month
4) setup/ processing fee of Rm200
5)The liquidity comes in the form of an ATM card or a linked CASA account to the housing loan.
Example: You have a shop that is opened Monday to Satuday, rest on Sunday. On Saturday, you deposit all your proceeds of the week into the flexi account, on Sunday, you would save [(your-HL-interest-rate)/365]*AmountDeposited worth of interest. On Monday, you withdraw the money to run your business
Semi Flexi
semi flexi package typically has these features:
1) requires you to phone in to indicate the extra payment as early settlement of advance payments
2) if you fail to indicate, you will be charged 1% (some banks do this afaik)
3) if you indicate advance payment, no additional interest is saved as "advance" payment will only be credited to your loan account when it reaches your cycle date, so it is plain advance payments. and must be in multiple of your monthly payment.
4) For redrawable prepayments, you need to indicate separately and Redraw charge of RM50 is imposed (M*B charge Rm25)
Fixed
1) interest rate will be higher among all other packages. Normal rate for RM500K loan is 4.45%, fixed rate will charge example 5%
2) This package does not allow you to reduce loan interest with advance payment. All advance payment will be treated as prepayment for future installment. However, there's special consideration which bank might or might not grant you to reduce loan interest. It depends
3) Hedge against interest rise. When normal conventional interest spur to 5.85% (lets say), you will be still serving 5% interest. Fixed rate remove the fluctuation environment from your side, you will just pay 5% throughout loan tenure.

2. For loan approval it really depends on which bank, different banks have different speed. The waiting time usually falls under 3-7 days, if everything is done right by the agent. If there's hiccup in between and with bank queries, it can drag till 11-15 days. It really based on luck which agent serves you, which credit approval department employee vet your case and their mood. Hence, the speed can be said quite subjective. If everything goes right, documents sufficient, CTOS and CCRIS check all proper, 3-7 working days is the standard.
Hence it is important to prepare all relevant documents to the agent.

5. Last but not least, seek for a quality mortgage consultant.
Loan application is not just about finding a banker, providing them the documents according to banks guideline, then key in data and submit, 3-7days receive loan letter offer to sign.
Most of the time, mortgage application is not as easy as it seems. Mortgage consultant need to do lots of homework and due diligence
Seek mortgage consultants who are able to:
- Pre-assess your loan qualification
-Who ask a lot of question regarding your personal finance, nature of purchasing property, nature of your business, nature of your DSR. The more you disclose to them the more would be able to increase your loan approval chances.
-Consultants who are passionate in helping you. Sometimes they need to write 1 long essay in order to explain your conditions to improve your chances of loan approval
-Who keep you updated from time to time, this is the quality where it shows that they are eager to help you and do their best to secure your loan.
- Who doesn’t over-promise (or compromise). Over-promise is fatal.
- Who could answer all your inquiries and being honest if they are not sure about it.
-Who take all available documents from you (to reduce any trouble and delay), assess and provide you the best solutions
