Refinancing

[Squall8888]

Hello everyone, need some experts to clarify this.

Let's say I take up a 30 years housing loan to finance my private property. I am 25 years old this year.

Assuming there is no change to the CMs, and after 5 years, my loan will be left with 25 years. I will be 30 years old by then.

Can I refinance it back to 30 years? The loan will end on my 60th birthday (instead of 55th) which is still within the MAS rule. Is this possible?

Thanks.

I would caveat that you can under prevailing rules. Who knows what the future (cooling measures) heralds?

the only snag with refinancing these days is that the banks are no longer allowed to provide legal subsidies. So it's a few k upfront just to do any refinancing.
