hi all,
Anyone can share, what is different between conventional and Islamic financing?
Thank you

Dear
To be succinct,
Conventional loan
1. have lock in period 3 years
2. optional semi or full flexi package
Islamic loan
1.
-For islamic loan there's 2 package for it, that is Bai Bithaman Ajil (BBA) and Musyarakah mustanaqisah(MM).
For BBA there's a max cap amount that you pay.
example
RM200K LOAN/ 5.5%/ 30YEARS =Installment RM1135.58
Total price to be paid is = RM1135.58 X 30 =RM408,808
-This price stated in the contract will be the absolute price, the fixed profit has added into the total payable amount. For loan settlement, for usual loan, you will just need to pay off the outstanding balance stated in the bank, but for BBA product, the total final price has been stated in the contract, hence when fully settle, BBA will gives away rebate on the selling price which is equivalent to profit not realized. There isn't any clear formula for the rebate though...
Musyarakah mustanaqisah
-tries to be the complete and newer version of islamic loan
- it is similar to conventional loan in terms of interest calculation, interest rate, early repayment and capital repayment. The difference is this loan is a Profit loss joint venture for you and the bank. Starting 10% (DP) will own by you and 90%(bank purchase) own by the bank. Throughout the loan tenure of paying installment, bank will act as leasing you the property, you will slowly pay the installment(rent) to the bank and slowly owning more %shares of the property.
2. Islamic loan has the benefits of no lock in period, but the documentation for islamaic will have extra 3-4 more. Hence the legal loan fees hike 20% more, around RM600-RM1200 (However some bank will impose lock in period on your islamic loan)
3. Not many bank offer Musyarakah mustanaqisah, most of the bank offering BBA nowadays
4. Most of the banks islamic loan package is semi flexi, full flexi package offered last I did is with ALLIANCE bank.
