My refinanced loan of RM400k was approved at the rate of 4.45% by UOB for a non-flexi loan with lock-in period of 3 years. But they have Open Prepayments option so is this something on par with semi-flexi in order to save interest? Is this good enough or i should carry on shopping?

Valuation fee RM1.1k
Legal fee RM3.3k
Stamp duty RM2k

Is there any other cost i should be aware of?
*
Sounds good enough

You need to check the loan whether it's a term loan or not and how is the principle deduction calculated. Going through your letter offer will tell you what you're in for.

just pay dp for my first property, i am struggling to decide to get a term loan or flexi?

Any advice?
*
If you're a salaried person then a semi flexi loan would do.

If you're a businessman and have a huge cash flow then full flexi is better.

QUOTE(Sky.Live @ Feb 18 2016, 06:46 PM)
Other words, flexi means you can have better cash flow access with chance to reduce your prinicipal if you have the extra cash at a cost of higher interest rate

term loan, you get lower interest rate at the expense of flexibility in payment.

correct me if I am wrong
*
interest rate is the same, just that the facility of the loan is different. as my explanation above will help you to do a decision.

Feel free to let me know if you need loan application smile.gif

Thanks! I haven't received the LO yet so i can't tell. But if i do not have a lot of idle cash, flexi/semi-flexi or term also doesn't matter, right?

Thanks! I shall stop shopping and wait for the LO then.

If you don't have much cash idle then picking any type wouldn't be much of a difference.

If one can afford the down payment, should we borrow to the maximum or pay as much as down payment as possible? Which is the best practice?
*
If you're a good investor then maximum loan is advisable because you can get other returns higher than the loan interest rate. Otherwise higher down payment is possible to reduce interest by taking a full flexi loan to reduce your interest while looking for opportunity

Thanks..

Just got my first approval from HSBC, 4.5%, shud be a fully flexi loan.
Ambank on the other hand said there is a RM10 monthly charges for full flexi loan, therefore I am opting for semi flexi, don't think I will need the liquidity.

Congratulations on your loan =)

If you plan for own stay and plan to pay it off early or having extra money at the same time. Opting for full flexi is helpful as you can put in your extra money so you can reduce your interest at the same time reducing your loan tenure.

yes you can say so. Just that you get lesser savings in your account 2 later on.

Hi Guys,

First time posting.

I'm actually looking for an impartial Mortgage broker, one who wants my business and replies to emails.

Quite happy for recommendations from anyone.

The mortgage would be for a new build with plans already approved in Nilai, land loan is currently with CIMB but took ages to sort out, so open to ideas.

Thanks  smile.gif

Feel free to send me some info on what you do. Tq

What's the prevalent interest rate for bungalow land loan?
*
The interest rate depends on your loan amount and also the type of land that a property can be built on it, the range goes from 4.4 to 5%, will need to get more detail on your purpose on whether you're financing to buy the land on construct a bungalow on it.

Hi everyone, I don't understand about how refinancing works.. I have a unit of apartment still with financing about 150K, current market price is about 310K and I've rented it out since last year slightly more then a year, am I able to get refinancing for it? How does it works?
*
Hi,

Refinancing works like this, if your value now is 310k, they will take 80% - 90% of the market value and refinance you 248k - 279k.

So your cash out portion would be 279k - 150k = 129k

If you need to refinance it and need to talk further feel free to whatsapp or PM me.

Hi. Silly question here. If i buy a house with mark up loan (full loan) do i still need to pay the seller 10% downpayment then only get it back after bank disbursement? Is there any chances that i wont get the 10% overpayment back? Thanks
*
Hi,

Depends on your agreement with the seller, if during down payment, some amount is paid to the vendor, then you just minus out some of the amount like for example booking fee of RM1,000. In the S&P of course it can be drafted to say the amount 100% payment will be upon loan disbursement minus whatever booking cost earlier.

But property agent said i have to pay 10% downpayment when sign SnP. After 3 months when bank disburse loan only i will get back the 10%. Agent said that seller surely want to hold the 10% instead of wait for 3 months empty handed. And said thats the standard procedure
*
is your purchase an undercon project ?

If so, the property agent can't take in this 10% as this is out of the norm, most likely he's trying to tie you down with this 10% story to get you committed.

But this is not the usual practice, you may argue this with the property agent. If he still insist, it's up to you to decide to pull out or commit this 10% ... it's a huge risk for you as the purchaser

By the calculation of full flexi loan if u have 10k extra in the account for 1 day the interest u save is rm1.30. 10 days is rm13. By the end of the month they charge u rm10 fee. So u only save rm3 by keeping 10k in the account for 10 days in 1 month am i correct? Which is as good as nothing
*
For example

If you took a loan of 300k for 35 years @ 4.5% interest
Your repayment is RM1,419 per month

Now if you put in RM10,000 into your account
The repayment would have drop to RM1,372 technically, but interest still remains the same at 1419 actually

So literally, you're saving about 47 per month or RM1.57 per day.

Of course that's based on 10,000 deposit, what about higher amount ?

If you're looking at return of investment, definitely putting all your money into the flexi account will not save you alot of cost since the interest is around 4.5%, if you got any other investment that generates 7%, please go for it, use it to pay off 4.5% and you still earn 2.5%

It is a sub sale apartment. Completed 2012. I bought it thru property agent. And agent ask me to pay 10% to house owner when signing SnP and said that i will get it back after 3 months when bank disburse loan as this is a standard procedure
*
The agent is only entitled to hold 2-3% of your deposit, the rest is in S&P for the remaining 7-8% deposit. This is totally out of the Board of Valuers and Property Agent practice. If convenient, please call me further to discuss on this matter.

QUOTE(qkumba @ Feb 24 2016, 08:41 PM)
So meaning any extra cash u put in it will decrease the amount of monthly installment instead of the period of loan?
*
You reduce your monthly installment per month in the calculation but you repay the same amount of interest per month, just that by paying the same repayment every month with your 10k deposit, you are effectively reducing your loan repamyent by RM47 each month.

Yes i already paid a booking of 2% and my loan now approved 100% but they still ask me to pay up 8% to the seller when signing snp. I thought i had a full loan. Suppose they just proceed without furder payment and when bank disburse loan i get back my 2% but they told me is common practise that i top up 8% and there is no way seller will willing to not hold any money and wait for disburse after 3 months

Hi qkumba, there is no such practice. Kindly do not proceed

Yup, totally agree on point no 1. For example, i suppose the lawyer can instruct the bank to disburse the money to law firm first. Then law firm will calculate how much will go to seller and remaining to buyer (in case u paid 10% downpayment). I got this info from lawyer previously.
*
What is weird is the mode of payment of the remaining balance and the hold on to your deposits. There shouldn't be any need for holding onto your deposit and thereafter refunding it. It's like holding your money on custody while "lending" your 10% deposit interest free to your Seller for 3 months which he could use it to gain financial return. Does it even make sense ? No.
