I will go for HLB if the capped interest is above 70%.
Some banks would have done that but not all, if you like the project and can afford it why not? So it's depends on you

HLB appears attractive. You will be paying instalment approximately RM3,151 per month, about RM100 more than Maybank, but for lesser years and higher loan amount.

HLB if you don't mind the 70% capping on prepayment.
not common, the max margin is 85% - 90% depending if you buy project or subsale and also the type of property involved.
about 2.5% of the loan amount. estimated
depends on how much is your current interest, if the difference is 0.5% then it's a good time to make a switch to save on the long term bank interest.
Thanks for the replies guys!
I received another offer from HSBC:
- Amount: 608k
- Tenure: 32years
- Rate: 3.7%
- with TRTC (RM130/month)
From my inexperienced calculations, the advantages compared to other offers:
1) the least monthly instalment: RM2.7k
2) less loan amount and tenure, hence less interest and loan finish faster
3) instead of lump sum MRTT, HSBC replaced it with TRTC. Similar to insurance with monthly premiums paid separately from monthly instalments to HSBC
Disadvantages:
1) Full-flexi. Addtional RM10 charge per month
2) Only 80% loan. So I need to fork out some of my EPF acc.2 to cover the downpayment
3) No cash for renovation when VP, unless I take out all of my EPF acc.2
Anyone has experience with HSBC? Care to share your experience? Thanks!
