What is AIA Fixed Rate Home Loan Package 2 and what can it do for me?
AIA offers a conventional term loan with a fixed interest rate protecting you from market movement in the BR. No matter what happens you’ll rest assured that you’re paying the same interest rate right throughout your mortgage term.
With this Zero Moving Cost (ZMC) mortgage, AIA absorbs all transaction fees such as legal fees, stamp duty and valuation fees, all at a fixed interest rate of 5.39% p.a.
The catch is, however, that you need to borrow a minimum of RM300,000 and RM500,000 for completed and under construction properties respectively.
The minimum property value to qualify for this fixed rate home loan is RM200,000, and AIA can provide up to 90% margin of financing for the purchase of new house, whereas up to 80% for refinancing purpose.
What are my obligations if I apply for this housing loan?
Well, you’ll have to pay your mortgage every month. Your installments are calculated based on a fixed interest rate. Any movement in the BR will have zero effect on your repayments. So less stress if that’s the kind of thing you worry about.
Can I pay money onto my mortgage to reduce the principal?
Yes, you can. You can make instant deposits whenever you like, reducing the principal and therefore the interest that you will pay on your home loan.
Sounds great – what are the main benefits of this AIA home loan?
A fixed interest rate might suit you if you are worried about the BR going up over your mortgage term. For some, this means security and peace of mind. Others prefer to hedge against the possibility of falling BR.
