How does Wahdah Home Financing work?
Bank Islam Wahdah Home Financing adheres to the set rules of Tawarruq (Commodity Murabahah). Tawarruq is the act of buying of an asset with deferred price, subsequently selling it to a third party to get cash.
Bank Islam can to finance up to 90% of the value of the property for tenures that last as long as 35 years. But of course, it all entirely depends on your creditworthiness and Bank Islam's approval.
This loan is applicable only for completed property and strictly for refinancing purposes only. So if you're thinking about jumping ship to another bank, maybe this mortgage is a good place to start?
What are my obligations?
As with any Islamic home loans your monthly installments are calculated based on the Profit Rate, which in turn is determined by the IBR. Luckily for you the profit rate is capped at a ceiling rate to hedge you from any sudden hikes in the IBR.
Bank Islam can offer you a choice of fixed tier financing periods for your completed property. For the first couple of years you can enjoy low interest rate, which will increase in the subsequent years.
This might be a big help for folks struggling to cope with the cost of repairs or refurbishments when refinancing.
Do I need a Takaful coverage?
By taking up MRTT insurance, you will be covered should any unexpected event occur. In the event of your death or Total Permanent Disability Takaful coverage will pay the reducing sum covered as per reducing sum covered schedule. Fire insurance is compulsory for most mortgages.
