Hi, if i have a low DSR, will bank still ask to see my savings?

If so, whats the saving amount they are satisfied with for a loan of RM 1 mil?

Im working overseas and i only have a home loan rm150k in Malaysia. No cc debts or anything.

Hi,

Just got a reply from my banker. He said the bank only approved 80% financing for me because of slash margin on that particular project i am planning to buy, nothing to do with my profile.

Is there something like that? Is there still possibility for me to get 90% financing from other banks?

1. This offer is ok. For 1m the best offer is 4.35-4.4%

2. Whether or not you need to take MRTA/MLTA depends entirely on your objective. If you ask an insurance agent obviously he would prefer that you take MLTA due to the opportunity to offer you, a prospect, a product of his own. For example, UOB cannot finance MRTA offered by AIA (I believe Great Eastern is their insurance provider), so an AIA agent would recommend that you opt for MLTA.

MRTA has its purposes, depending on your needs, it can be cheaper to opt for this. Remember, this is a 35-year long contract that you are signing, only you know what's best for yourself. An insurance agent (which I incidentally am as well, to be transparent about this) would decide what is best for him (his commissions). It is not wrong to entice people/prospects to prop up the sales numbers, but it is best to furnish the recommendations with proper arguments.

Thanks for the explanation.

Bro, just additional question, mine is a semi flexi account. And right now, assuming i accept it and sign the snp, i will only be charged interest only until construction completes.

So during this period, say my interest is 1k. Can i pay more than 1k to reduce the principle? Or this method only applies when the construction completed?

Hi all,

In one of the clause in my LO by UOB, it says:

"You can prepay the facility subject to the Facility has been fully disbursed"


How I understand this is that during the construction period until, say VP, I cant pay more to reduce my outstanding principal amount, even though my Home Loan is a semi-flexi home loan?

So say my house is expected to complete in 2022, I can only pay extra to reduce the principal amount only in 2022?


Just to add on, i asked the Loan agent and he said i cant prepay. Is this normal?

UOB not going to lower for the rest of the year  mad.gif

I think you read it wrongly. This is an analysis of the OPR rate.

What she meant is that OPR is expected to remain the same for the year.

I stand corrected.

UOB revised BR to 3.85%. Previously was 4.11, a drop of 0.25%.

Hi all, appreciate your advice on this situation.

I have 1 housing loan, started around 5 years ago.

Loan amount: RM 143k
Interest rate: 4.7% (after recent BR reduction)
Outstanding amount: RM 136k
Loan type: Call up RHB and was told its Flexi Home Loan

Question: is it better to go for refinance as the interest is quite high?

Hi, anyone here has UOB loan? The base rate till now has not changed ever since BNM reduced the OPR?

Any idea why or they don't plan to reduce the BR?

Asked my banker and he is as useless as usual.

Called the contact centre and no help at all.
