Explain the Home Financing-i Manzili Selesa to me
The Manzili Selesa home loan is quite similar to its counterpart, Manzili Home-i Financing (fixed installments). The main difference is that it is based on a capped floating profit rate, to give you protection against a hike in rates - should that ever happen, and you know it probably will!
Bank Raykat offers finance up to 95% of your property's value regardless of whether you new house is complete, under construction or for refinancing purposes. Bank Rakyat won't be as generous if this is your third property, only 70% financing is available. This home financing option is also applicable for shoplots, but with a lesser tenure of 20 years and higher profit rate.
Worth noting that whilst your property is under construction you will only be charged a fixed interest rate of 4.85% - which is a pretty sweet deal. And if you're worried about interest rate fluctuations, don't dwell on them too much, as the bank's profit rate is capped at a steady 10.6%.
Can you count the ways I can pay off my installments
If you are a government employee you can make payments via Biro Perkhidmatan Angkasa. Alternatives are standing instructions to make payments direct from your savings or current account.
Can I pay in excess of my fixed monthly payment?
You can deposit more on top of your monthly repayments, but currently Bank Rakyat will only count it as an advanced payment which will not deduct from your principal. This is not a flexi-loan.
How about insurance?
It is highly recommended that you take on the MRTT on order to protect you and your loved ones from dire situations, such as illness. Fire insurance is compulsory for most home loans as well.
