Hi guys,

I have 2 mortgage loans, with EIR of 4.25% and 4.3% respectively.

I'm wondering if these rates are considered reasonable and if it is better for me to refinance them at lower loan packages, if there is any?

Thanks for your advice!

The current rate seems reasonable and considering all the cost of refinancing, I doubt it will worth it.

You got cheap rate. Mine currently 4.8% home loan hlb

What are the costs if you want to refinance?

You need to pay all the legal fee, disbursement fee, stamp duty, valuation fee, mrta again.

U already have a good rate, i doubt u can get lower than that now

How much is that roughly? For 600k property

Around RM12k-15k. Not including mrta.

I wonder if there's any bank that can waive all these charges and offer a low interest rate.

May try ask for a quote. But I doubt they can offer lower interest than your current rate.

I doubt it. They probably dump all the fee into your loan.


MRTA - getting older you get higher MRTA
The only way to reduce installment in to extend loan period, only if you are not max your loan period
Even you get slightly lower rate you still have to pay for lawyer and stamp duty

Just did a refinance to SCB for 3.8/3.9% from 4.32%. Suggest you can look into it.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

If you're seriously looking for it, prolly you can give me you number. I'll ask my agent to contact you.

a few months back i also got 3.85/3.9% offers for new house.
I'm not sure about the refinancing fee though.

I just clicked on the link posted earlier in the thread and submitted my info, i assume that's the same SC bank mortgage offer that you received.

I'll wait for SC to contact me and if I do not hear from them within 5 working days, i will contact you.

Thanks!

Just had to deal with bank lawyer fees. Have a personal contact for that so it was quite a good rate. I am using the extra money to cover my other loan which is at 4.55% so it works out pretty well for the long run.

Damm lol. My existing loan is 4.x too lol

Your refinance is zero moving cost? If cam get 3.8 or 3.9, it's very good and don't think other banks can offer it .

Just the Lawyer fees and SPA stamp duty. I save alot more in the long run.
