Hi,
1st of all, your loan eligibility is not an issue based on this info given.
1) Different bank has their very own costing matters and also packages to suit the current market trend. Basically, those offers - BLR-2.4% or BLR-2.3% are pretty standard nowadays. The rate that you mentioned above is the effective rate after BLR (base lending rate) minus off the offer from individual bank say -2.4%, which is equivalent to 4.2% (BLR = 6.6%). BLR is, as we all know is set by Bank Negara Malaysia taking into consideration of the economy factors, cost-of-fund, etc.
2) If less say you have accepted HLBB offer, you can have 2 options where: 1) open a separate current acc / savings acc to form the standing instructions to auto-debit your monthly installment (of coz, there must be sufficient fund in the acc to auto-debit the monthly installment); or 2) direct payment to the loan acc via ATM, online banking, counter, etc
3) Obviously it is an under-con property. Hence, during this period of time, the construction is in the progress. Depends on the progress of the construction, if the construction up to say 20% in April, the developer will bill the 20% to the bank for release of the sum (i.e. 20% x RM600,000 price = RM120,000). Thus, the bank will release the 20% sum = RM120,000 to the developer and you will be start paying the progressive interest based on RM120,000. Technically, you are paying roughly RM120,000 x 4.2% / 365days x 30days (no of days for the particular month starting on the day of the loan release)....it may sounds so complicated but its all about logical sense
4) Say, assuming you have a total loan sum of RM500,000, in the near future you are planning to pay a lump-sum of RM100,000 to your loan acc. It is allowable without any notice required to the bank. Hence, your "outstanding" is RM400,000 at this moment and the effective interest rate of 4.2% will only charged on the RM400,000 instead of the principal loan of RM500,000, which in turn you are saving from your interest charged. With this lump-sum of cash, you have the options to continue paying your monthly installment regularly and lead to shorten your loan tenure; or you can stop paying your monthly installment up to 50 months (assuming your monthly installment is RM2000, RM100,000 / RM2000 = 50). It works exactly the same regardless of the amount that you dump-in or any form - lump sum or monthly basis (i.e RM20K in 1 go)
This is just a bigger picture on how you can save further from the interest charged. However, there are other options where you can have a structured acc for the "interest savings" purpose and on top of that giving further peace-of-mind to cancel-off the loan immediately if any unwelcome events happen.
Hope the above address your concerns.
And do pm me for more info or clarification needed. Thanks
