My home refinancing

When I purchased my house in Nov 2004, I was not eligible to make the mortgage with my own company due to ‘immaturity age of service’, you know la my service is still baby , yet to reach 5 years. With no other best options, I choose M******.

Oct 2007 was the month that I’m qualified to switch may loan to my own co. So, in July 07 I started gathering all information that I need especially on the new monthly repayment, the forms and related documents and also lists of the panel lawyers. I choose a lawyer that is very near to my office, so that I won’t be wasting my time, cost and energy. The lawyers did give good service and also discount. I shall recommend them.

For the past 20 months I’ve made a total of around 18K to the bank. Most of it paid just for the Interest!! You know la. So when we (lawyers & me) requested for the redemption statement for transferring the balance of loan to T*, the balance is only RM167K. Just imagine that out of the total loan of RM170K, I paid about 15K of interest. Note that I can used this money for the renovation for our car porch which I dreamed too together with the kitchen renovation: D

So now let see the real benefits. This is just a simple and direct calculation. Pls refer the figure tabulated below: Can you see there was RM82K variance by the time I finish the mortgage. Waoh..this amount is equivalent to a Vios / Honda City today, but not in 25 years time taking into consideration of inflation rate in annual basis. in 25 yeras time, maybe it's equivalent to Saga BLM/Viva/Myvi.

The above calculation is based on the following deliverables:
In addition, I also get the refund from the bank for the months when my co. settled the total loan with bank. In my case, the refund is for 3 months.

Hope this entry helps you.Make the comparison now. Take action today for our financial. freedom tomorrow : D

in my case, i'd say the real independence = to eliminate as many as strings attached to the Co. :) mana la tau, in case ur changing lanes.

kalau amik loan bank is ok, but some finance planning kene buat to reduce the term as soon as possible. can saves u lot!

thks Huda..biasanya loan bank mmg interest tinggi, sebab tu la depa boleh survive

i agree with u julie..whatever benefits that we may gain now, use it! I'll withdraw my a/c 2 EPF every 3 yrs to reduce the monthly settlement ASAP (the last time I withdraw was last yr)...by the time I plan to retire/VSS from the Co. perhaps we have settle all connection with the Co :D

hehe... kite pun agree ngan julie & farra.. use all the benefits while can. Even kalau dah kluar dr. Co pun, kita boleh maintainkan loan rumah tuh.. at 9% from balance.. which ends up.. same jek kalau refinance kat luar (& maybe with more stability and less kot).. nih kite tgk dalam surat berhenti kerje kakak kat opis nih.. hehehhee..

Farrah, bank loan memang membebankan. Alhamdulillah ogy keje kerajaan & dari awal beli rumah dah layak buat loan kerajaan... Interest serendah 4% sahaja...

tapi skrg kan ambank tgh nego nak naikkan interest loan TM..
anyway, loan TM by bulan 7 ni ambank takeover.. so ended up 2 kemungkinan ambank cadangkan:

1) loan tambah berapa tahun dari biasa
contoh: amik loan rumah 20 tahun dgn TM, nanti ngan ambank maybe kena bayar 25 tahun ke

2) interest rate sama ngan bank-bank lain

maklumat ni dpt from HR people yang jaga loan.. sekian terima kasih

p/s: sape nak lenjan loan TM cepat2 le amik, kot-kotlah ambank terbukak hati nak bagi dgn rate yang sedia ada ni la
