RadX Moderator March 6, 2013 Share March 6, 2013 Thougt i start this on loans now and to monitor as well rates for vehicles and perhaps houses. One thing that got me thinking is that loans form a core business with the legal ah longs...er banks. One post i rem jamesc posted is that one ahs and shd be considerdd prett high on the list to be given a loan. Criteria? Choco can u elaborate? how does the bank deem if one is worthy or not? Lets keep tis academic and focussed so ppl can discern n think of their own ability or liability before taking a loan. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadX Moderator March 6, 2013 Author Share March 6, 2013 To those who do not believe in loans and only pay cash, kindly refrain from from posting lest you get tempted to only talk abt te disbenefits of loans.

Chucky2007 Turbocharged March 7, 2013 Share March 7, 2013 (edited) Straight to the point, i like this style. Can someone advise me what is the interest rate for housing loan now? What are the different package available from banks? Is it wise to switch from HDB to bank loan? i got from DBS in Jan 2013, 1.68% fixed for 5 years. At that time, Citibank offers 1.38% fixed for 3 years. I think both DBS and Citibank package stillavailable. I didnt consider variable SIBOR pegged package even when i can save 0.4% per yeardue to personal view that interest rate hikes next year will be steep... also no more legal subsidies from banks, everytime refinance with different banks will incur legal fees around $3k and valuation fee another $300-1000.. no pointmove qaround too much.

What are the different package available from banks? Is it wise to switch from HDB to bank loan? for your Q on HDB loan switch to Bank, right now.. u may have missed the low interest for past 3-4 years. The rate might go up any moment next year to above 2% anyway. If i am having a HDB loan now, i will stay put with them. Somemore now no more valuation orLegal fee subsidiesfrom banks, so other than the interest saved, you have to factor in legal cost which is around 2k for HDB.

My current loan with HDB will end in 3.5 yrs time. Do you think i can refinance with private bank and only take 3 yrs loan? Toying with the idea of saving a few K in interest.

Toying with the idea of saving a few K in interest. bank minimum loan is 5 years. if you left only 3.5 year loan left, your option is to lenghten the loan tenureto 5 years.
