For loan of RM300K. I was offered interest of 4.45%, lock in 3yrs, semi flexi. Is it a good rate? 

Since its under BR, since the spread is quite high as compared to other bank, wat will happen if the bank cost of fund increase on future. The interest will b higher than other banks which their spread is lower.
*
Yes consider reasonable rate for this loan amount, BR still not that stable will estimate change quite often compare with BLR. As if you notice maybank BR rate is low and profit margin is higher compare with others bank, so around march they might revise their rate again.

Haha... I bet none of the banks in town will change their BR in March.

what i'm saying is not BR, they will revise their profit BR + " 1.0 " the + spread part, maybe might revise to lower than current offer.

Hi, need some advises here.

All get 90% loan from prop 500k

Bank C*MB:
Full flexi

Bank R*B:
Semi flexi
4.45% rate
tenure 35 years

Bank HL*:
Semi flexi

Which one is better? I thank for you input in advance!

Go for HLB if there no lock in period "double confirm any term and condition because base on what i know both RHB and HLB have 3 years lock in period, not sure it's only applied for full term loan for HLB.

Bank negara didn't specify that base rate will change every 3 months. But do remember that BLR is still in place for older loans and it will change biggrin.gif. Spread is also determined by factors such as credit rating and also amount being borrowed.
*
BR will not change but spread yes. What I mention is spread ya

BR can be reviewed once every 3 months while BLR once every 6 months.

BR won't changes that often as like BLR but the spread from BR there's always a space for bank to adjust on this but so far there's no news of changing the spread interest yet.

Hi All,
I would like to check about method to get additional cash by refinancing my home.
Current outstanding loan RM 190k. Current House price is 500k-550k range.
Existing BLR rate is BLR-2 %.
If i get a new 250k refinancing loan:
1) would i be able to get the additional cash of 50k immediately.
2) Does the homeloan now need to pay lawyer fees and all.
3) How long will the process take.
Thanks
*
if you want to cash out 50k the refinancing loan amount should be 190K + 50K = 240K nearest to this figure 90% will be 243k which is Loan amount 270k

yes home loan need loan legal fees.

for refinance if no problem with the profile should be done within 7 working days.

When the banks were required to submit their BR to BNM in December 2014, 3M KLIBOR that time was high at around 3.80% - 3.90%. With the 3M KLIBOR easing to around 3.70% - 3.75% now, it is expected that those which use the KLIBOR as the benchmark cost of funds will see their BR reduced accordingky after 31 March.  I believe other banks should have similar adjustments.

yes you're right, there's some changes in CIMB rate as well. New conventional rate and islamic differences 0.1% , while BR is 4%. In fact CIMB side their interest is increasing.

Recently i got 2 loan offers for under construction housing project but still making tough decision. Both are islamic loans.

Bank P:
Lock in period: 3 years
Interest rate: 4.55%
Tenure: 35 years
MRTA: RM900++ for 7 years  ( the minimum one)
Margin of Financing: 80% (144k)
RM200 processing fee, after GST it comes out to be RM212

Bank H:
Lock in period: No
Interest rate: 4.70%
Tenure: 30 years
MRTA: RM700++ for 5 years ( the minimum one)
Margin of Financing: 100% (150k)
Question 1: Not very sure which one is full flexi or semi-flexi. Is this important for us to consider? What is the different btw the both?

Question 2: Heard Bank H officer said Bank P may start charging interest  if there's no payment after 1 month, whereas they only start charging after 2 months. Is that true? or is there anything else do i need to check with them?

Question 3: Which package is better after taking  into consideration of interest charging period in my question 2.

Question 4: Heard Bank H officer said MRTA is compulsory to take in order to get good rate at 4.7% . Is that true? Can i opt not to take it?

Kindly advise.
*
important to know semi flexi or full flexi as there's setup fees and monthly charge for most bank full flexi except rhb.
