For 3 local bank, is their home loan info transparent to all? I checked their website, the info cannot tally with icompareloan, and less package as well, don't know how to proceed.

walk-in rate vs wholesale rate, you can't expect bank to showhand their rates to everyone.

hey my house just obtained top a few months back.. I am on ocbc 36m fdmr + 1.03% for first 3 years (1.68%) and there after + 1.5% (2.08%). the existing package looks good, 1.3% for first 3 years and then 1.4%.. I am entitled to covert free within 6 months from top though. is there any other fee that I need to pay for the conversion?

btw the conversion is only back to ocbc right? refinance to another bank I will need to pay other fee right? is it worth it?

You gonna call up the banker to see what is the interest rate offer for existing customer converting loan. U will be surprise it is higher than the advertised rate which is only for new client.

Hello just want to check if this situation is possible

Sell a private property to someone below valuation
Assuming valuation is 600k but sell it at remaining loan amount or slightly more
Assuming sell @ 500k, get bank loan for 500k but 20% downpayment given in cash to seller
if like that still need to give the bank offering the loan 20% downpayment?

Repricing or refinancing?

My outstanding loan is 120K. with 2.25% interest (SIBOR) with ocbc signed few years back.
I am no longer locked in.

Is it better to do repricing or refinancing?

You should sell for 600k, 20% downpayment paid to seller and remaining 80% loan from bank. Bank will not allow you to loan 100% of selling price.

Reprice obviously. Refinancing legal fees need to pay

Have to see your existing LO to know what's the penalty.

ocbc just called, current rate for me is 48fdmr + 0.55 for first 3 years and 0.85 there after.. better rate than now.. no need pay anything, can just convert, lock in for 3 years with free conversion if 48fdmr goes up..

am just wondering if it's better to refinance to another bank.. but heard i need to pay whatever fee or penalty in cash right?

That's 1.5% first 3 years and thereafter 1.8%.
Not really good considering rates are going at 1.3% average.

ya i meant if the valuation is 600k but i sell the person at 500k can anot ?

then the buyer take 80% loan from bank, does the bank need to know or care if the buyer paid the 20% downpayment anot?
