Commercial Property Loan (Retail/Shophouse/Industrial)
The purchase of commercial properties extends a different step in securing a mortgage loan. For its complexities, it is probably ideal to speak to a professional who can act on your behalf, give you correct guidance and have your interests at heart. Certain banks also offer packages that take into account of your business requirements. Our KeyQuest Mortgage Relationship Managers can take you and guide through the process.
Construction Loan
Construction loans set a different pace in terms of the repayment process unlike loans for a ready built house. Construction loans are often bundled with a housing loan that has a progressively drawn repayment scheme based on the total amount that was borrowed. As your home is built, disbursements of funds to the contractor can be made pending stages of completion. Once the house is complete, the construction loan will likely be converted to an Equity Loan to take advantage of a lower interest rate. To overcome these complexities, it is best you take guidance from our professional KeyQuest Mortgage Relationship Managers who can point you in the right direction until your dream home is fully realised.
Bridging Loan
Bridging Loans are sometimes required when you are selling and buying properties simultaneously. For the reason that the cash proceeds from the sale is not disbursed in time for the down-payment of the new purchase, this loan can be used to exercise your option to purchase as well as pay for stamp duties and legal fees. However this loan will only be approved if your current property has been sold. Timing is thus crucial and professional advice would be advantageous. Seek help and support from a KeyQuest Mortgage Relationship Manager to find the best loan from a bank that offers terms and conditions most suitable to your needs.
Equity Term Loan (Not Applicable for HDB Flats)
Equity Loans can be exercised if the value of your property has grown. The proceeds of this equity can be used for any personal issues; from debt consolidation, car loan, business expansion, children’s education and more. The loan interest rate is often equivalent to that of the housing loan rate and probably the lowest personal loan you could get.
