Just wonder if i apply loan for Auction Property, do bank still offer same package like others property? Or there is no more BLR-2.XX for the loan. Thanks for help!!!

hi MattChan,

For auctioned property, the loan package will be similar to the others in the town. In fact, it might be adversely affected by various negative issues as well. Major concerns will be the property location and its condition, this is especially true for the properties located in Rawang or some unfavorable location. Certain properties without proper upkeep will lower down the fundamental value of the properties and thus, lower margin.

Auctioned property can get a similar package as the others as well. Just a point to take note, as the property is auctioned by the banks, banks will have more information about the house, especially in term of its negativity. If the property does not turn up to be a good property, it will eventually lower your margin and push up your rate significantly. Just keep in mind, most of the time, auctioned properties might have some "problems" with them, banks will definitely know more about them and you will suffer from obtaining a worse package. So, keep in mind, avoid getting any "suspicious" properties in the auction. It will ensure you get a good house and with a better chance in getting a better loan.

But, definitely, auctioned properties do not priced well in the marker due to our culture and belief, thus, you cannot put a high expectation that you can get the best rate in the town with it. Hope it helps.

as far as i know....not all banks give loan for auction properties
this is due to the time constraint for auction properties

Added on October 8, 2010, 2:11 pmohh..btw, should I ask for the mortage loan before to buy a house or get a house 1st then just survey for mortage loan?

Dear beast_doadore,

Normal practice would require you to make your selection of property, book it with an earnest booking fee (2~3% of your property price). With a booking receipt in hand, you can use it as a proof of your intention to purchase and apply a loan from the bank. MOF is uncertain, as this will mainly dependent on your property location and other properties details as well. Mostly will range from 80% to 90%. BLR -2.2% shouldn't be a problem. Consider your age at 25, your max tenure can go to 30~40 yrs depending on banks' discretion. Conservatively, we assume you get a 85% mof, 30 yrs tenure, BLR -2.2%, property sales price at 280k, your monthly installment will be RM1,150 (you do your own calculation, download the mortgage repayment calculator right below my initial). This would require your net income to be at least RM 2900 per month (provided you have no other commitment yet)

Based on assumptions above, legal fee for loan document will be est 4.2k, stamp duty at 1.2k and valuation fee 0.6k. These are the common cost to be incurred and you have prepare for them if you are not intend to finance them into the loan (or, simply, the bank don't allow you to finance them into the loan)

Hope it helps. Let me know if you need to hunt for a loan.

Have a good day.

Guys..

I am a newbie in this forum..

I have purchased my first house @ Melaka; currently waiting the construction to be completed. Right now, I'm planning to purchase my second property; a medium-cost apartment at Kota Damansara.. Somebody wanted to sell to me with the price of RM 65k.

My questions are:
1) Typical 'booking' fee is around 2-3% right?
2) How much the associated or extra cost (i.e legal fee, stamp duty etc) in purchasing this property? Anybody could detail out what are the items? I believe it should be around 5% of the property price.
3) Last year, when I 'shop' for the loan, most of the banks mentioned to me that the interest rate will be similar to all banks(i.e BLR - 1.8%).. ZEC cost is not included more..
4) How long the potential loan tenure that I might managed to get. I'm currently 25 years old. It is easy to get 35-years loan for this kind of purchase?
5) Anybody here provide any service for loan or house financing? Kindly PM me.. I'm now working in Melaka.. Better to have online communication..

Thank you very much...

Hi to all,

I need some help with my loan application. basically I'm shopping around for the best deal in town. Already paid the deposit, and got the copy of s&p. The apartment that i'm looking at is valued at 235k, but we're only going for 200k with the tenure of 15 years. Best offer that I got now is from affin bank @ BLR - 2%. I'm looking ONLY for islamic and not conventional.

thank you

wouldnt it be better if we wait to see what the budget has in store bf we commit?

budget might be good for us or otherwise

Hi all,
I have 1 question. I'm about to put my signature on a 189k loan (property value 210k)
with Legal fee financed by the bank at approximately RM5k.
I'm about to be the 3rd owner of the property.

So, my question is how much approximately do I have to top up on the 5k legal fee financed by the bank? Does the 5k includes stamping fee, lawyer fee, etc?
Are there any other charges that I should be aware of, that might cost beyond the 5k amount?
And what if the legal fees are less than 5k? Where would the extra $$$ goes?

thanks.

legal fee is divided by 2 parts
1. snp fee
2. loan agreement fee
usually both will be done by lawyer

and if u r referring for both fees...i dun think 5k is enuff

Dear animegod,

I think the 5k should be sufficient to cover the stamp duty, legal fee for loan doc & may be the valuation fee as well for your loan package. Standard pricing of legal fee for your loan amount will be RM 3,862, stamp duty at RM 964 while valuation fee will be RM 600. All together it will be about RM 5,426. (If the bank did require you to bear the valuation charges). S&P fee is solely born by the loan applicant and banks will not finance this portion of legal fee. Most likely you are not going to top up for these 3 kinds of charges (except for S&P).

If you are able to negotiate for a lower price for your legal transaction, the difference between the actual payment and the financed amount will be refunded by your lawyer (both of you have to talk about it prior any action to be carried out and agree on this kind of arrangement). For instance, you negotiate for a lower charges at RM 4,426. The firm will get the full pay from the bank (since it is financed by the bank) and they will refund the RM 1,000 difference to you. Minor variation in arrangement might happen as it is largely on a case-to-case basis. This is basically how it works.

Hope it helps.

Hi all,

I am a mortgage consultant from OCBC bank. The package currently offered is BLR-2.2 and BLR 2-3 for property more than 300k.

The advantage of the package is, you can finance all the legal fees, stamp duty, disbursement and valuation fees with OCBC and on top of that you can finance your life insurance (not MRTA or MLTA) as well with the bank. Of course if you opt for MRTA and MLTA, OCBC bank can also finance that for you.

If you are interested, please PM me

thanks epie and home_save for the reply. I never knew about the total charges for the transactions. All the while I thought that the legal fee + stamping + snp are included in the legal fees financed by the bank.
Seems like I have to fork out $$ to cover the snp or even the loan amount then..

Again, thanks for the info. It's really helpful.

2010....FDR rate up to 4.0%......new package....

I've been quoted 8.4k for all fees to acquire the 210k property. faint...
Anyway, is there MOT charge payable upon approving the loan? I thought MOT is issued only after we fully paid the loan amount. Or did the lawyer charged MOT fee due to it's a 3rd hand property?

thanks for all input.

Hai guys, I jus need your help. I jus purchased a new apartment (140K) n my loan can only go until 70% (cos of other commitment)

I have paid de 10% upon signing de s&p. My question is when do I have to pay de remaining 20% to de developer, isit before bank make their first release to de developer or after they have released all de money then i pay de 20%.

10Q a lot for ur helps.

Normally, bank will on disburse loan when developer send in billing with your clearance letter. Which mean you need to settle the 30% before bank disburse. Never heard of bank disbursing before you finish paying the downpayment.
