Any lock in period??Originally Posted by hopeful
2 years lock in i think.Originally Posted by Fisherman
i am currently on this loan...so far so good
Now 1M SIBOR is higher than 3M SOR, usually it is lower.
However 1M SIBOR + 0.65 is lower than 3M SOR + 0.85 (which is the lowest SOR in market) most of the time, even now.
anybody knows of 1M SOR or 3M SOR with low spreads, like +0.65 or +0.70%?
The spread remains constant throughout.
I got the loan last month from DBS 3M Sibor + 0.75% throughout. No lock in period.
I got all these quotations last month, hope it can be of some guide.
OCBC - 3 months Sibor +0.55% (1st) +0.60%(2nd) +0.65%(3rd)
Thereafter +1.25% 3 years Lockin
UOB (No lock in period)
1st Yr: 3mth SOR + 0.75%
2nd Y: 3mth SOR + 0.75%
3rd Yr: 3mth SOR + 0.75%
4th Year: 3mth SOR + 0.75%
Thereafter: 3mth SOR + 1%
DBS - 3 months Sibor + 0.75% throughout (No lock-in period).

Just to add to this list:
ANZ: 0.75% + 3 mth SOR throughout tenure (no lock-in)Originally Posted by irisng
My experience with Citibank is not good. Bad response and poor management of customers. Must run after them for replies.Originally Posted by hopeful
Looks like now the rates are better, I did refinance with DBS around Feb no lock in was 0.9 + sibor for 1st 3 years.
Ypu should have gone for ANZ then with 0.65% + 3 month SOR then with no lock-in throughout.Originally Posted by weezersg
Did asked about ANZ. But they say they target at Singaporeans with incomes, and not foreigners using assets to secure mortgages.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
That IMO, was the best package so far......
now ANZ is 3M SOR + 0.95% throughout.
U bot smthing ?Originally Posted by hopeful
Oh! I see. It was 0.75% + 3mth sor throughout with no lock-in just a month ago. Lots of movement amongst the banks. They give good extended tenure.Originally Posted by hopeful
Or u hf special package?Originally Posted by DC33_2008
There is aso a diff in buc n completed projects
1 relative bought the pier @ robertson that time using CIMB step down package.Originally Posted by devilplate
now another relative looking at the clift. now holding otp and looking for financing..
It is for completed project. BUC does not make much difference in the early stage of project that is why they can offer much lower base interest for 1st 2 years.Originally Posted by devilplate
Not much diff lor....Originally Posted by hopeful
Most impt which bank can give highest ltv n match the purchase px so tat u dun hf to top up
not sure about capital gains of the clift now.....won't be much I guess.Originally Posted by devilplate
So they are focusing on rental yield aspects and cash-on-cash returns ((like Regulator).
so the mortgage and rental income is important to them....
Diff by 0.1-0.2% only wor.....Originally Posted by hopeful
Service aso vy impt.....
What will the likely rental yield for them to buy now?Originally Posted by hopeful
should be around 4-4.2% depending on rental.
What is the maintenance at this place?Originally Posted by hopeful
devilplate can answer better, but agent say about 200 per month only. Much lower than One Shenton. because of lower quantum, lower maintenance, same rental per month, they decided to get the clift instead of OS.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
That is cheap for a studio. Does it include one free carpark lot?Originally Posted by hopeful
I think it doesn't.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
What about fixed rates packages? Seems most people are taking the variable rates. Thought interest rates might go up soon, so better to take fixed rates for three years?
Should go for no lock-in in period of uncertainty especially for completed investment property.Originally Posted by Fleur
One shenton will be competing with one clift for rental. Should ask sales agent to secure a good rental deal for you before signing on the OTP.Originally Posted by hopeful
i think that thinking applies to fixed deposits.Originally Posted by Fleur
If rates are dropping, go for 1 year tenure or more.
If rates are increasing, go for 1M,3M tenure.
Not sure whether it applies to mortgage.
as in, rates are increasing, lock in for 3 years.
rates are dropping, switch to variable.
Because of transactions cost involved to refinance mortgage.
