Here&#8217;s how it works<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"xl-heading xl-below-heading\">Interest Rates Hike Analysis For Home or HDB Loan Refinancing<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"xl-sub-heading\">Suppose, John took out a mortgage of a $1 million loan for 25 years. The interest rate he is getting is 1.4% per annum and he is paying $3,953 monthly. If interest rates rise to 1.5% per annum (a 0.1% hike), his monthly payments will increase by $47 a month or $564 a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xl-sub-heading\">Although he pays an extra $564 that year, John is actually paying $1,000 more in total interest that year. This is because as interest rates rise, a lesser proportion of his monthly instalment goes towards principal repayment and he will end up with a higher outstanding loan amount at the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;xl-third-card-container&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;_card&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2 class=\"_card-heading\">Rule Of Thumb 1 Of Home (HDB) Loan Refinancing<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"_card-desc\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For every $1 million loan, a 0.1% increase in interest means an extra $1,000 a year in interest payments. Assuming interest rates rise by 1%, you are looking at additional $10,000 in interest paid yearly for every $1 million of loan. If your loan is $2 million, then every 0.1% increase means $1,000 X 2 = $2,000 increase in yearly interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>*Above calculations are very close estimates.<\/i><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;_card&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2 class=\"_card-heading\">Rule Of Thumb 2 Of Home (HDB) Loan Refinancing<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"_card-desc\">For a $1 million loan, a 1% increase in interest rates is equivalent to additional $500 monthly repayment.

More often than not, homeowners usually think of refinancing to save money on their monthly payments with better long-term rates or to adjust the duration of the term accordingly to fit your financial situation. And finding suitable home loan experts can be beneficial and worth all the effort when you have the best one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-transform: inherit; color: #000000; font-size: 20px !important; font-weight: bold !important; text-align: center;\">HDB Loan Refinancing<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xl-sub-heading\">The most notable benefit of taking out an HDB loan is that you can get a higher loan amount than a bank loan. HDB loans allow you to finance up to 85% of the cost of your property. This is subject to eligibility conditions for HDB housing loans. With a higher loan amount, you get to pay less on the down payment.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"xl-sub-heading\">When buying an HDB flat, there are many good reasons for homeowners to take up an HDB housing loan as their first home loan. With that said, if after a few years, you want a home loan refinancing option with lower interest rates, it is possible to switch from an HDB loan to a bank loan for more savings.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"xl-sub-heading\">To minimize the cost of refinancing HDB loan, banks sometimes offer incentives on top of low interest rates, like subsidies to cover fees incurred during refinancing such as valuation and legal fees.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;xl-testimonial-container&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221;]\n<h2 class=\"xl-heading\">WE HAVE HELPED OVER 3,524 SINGAPOREANS REFINANCE THEIR HOME LOANS<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;xl-testimonial&#8221;]First home purchase was made easier with Home Loan Whiz.

If you decide to refinance, repay partially, or repay fully, there is likely to be a penalty imposed.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Q. Is it worth it to refinance my housing loan?&#8221; el_id=&#8221;1608040461686-122e799c-653a&#8221; el_class=&#8221;xl-faqs&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts suggest that you should refinance your home loan every 2 to 3 years. And that&#8217;s because you will save a lot of money in the process by avoiding increased interest rates after the lock-in period. Even with floating interest-rate chances are your interest rates have increased in 2-3 years and you&#8217;re paying more. So it&#8217;s always advisable to refinance your home loan if it&#8217;s saving you money.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Q. What is the cost of refinancing a home loan?&#8221; el_id=&#8221;1608040538409-00a97a45-c262&#8243; el_class=&#8221;xl-faqs&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You pay two types of cost: legal fee (to the law firm) and valuation fee (to the bank). In many cases, if your remaining loan is $300K or above, banks usually subsidise the legal and a part of valuation fee. This means that the total cost usually is minimal and definitely cheaper than repricing.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Q. What is the difference between refinancing and repricing a home loan?&#8221; el_id=&#8221;1608040562161-c913f13e-3717&#8243; el_class=&#8221;xl-faqs&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repricing refers to changing to a different interest rate package within the same bank. For repricing, there is usually a repricing fee of between $800 and $1000. Also for existing customers changing to another package, the package offered by the current bank will usually be worse off or at best the same as what they offer for new to bank customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refinancing is to change to a different bank and to take up a new housing loan package from them. Banks will usually attract new customers by offering subsidies to keep the cost low for switching and their interest rate packages are usually more attractive. Therefore as long as you are eligible for the subsidies, it definitely is worthwhile to refinance.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[mk_page_section sidebar=&#8221;sidebar-1&#8243;][vc_column][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;xl-top-heading&#8221;] This is your place to get the best refinance home loan package in Singapore Get the best home and HBD loan refinance packages by talking to our experts.
