Kuala Lumpur, 17 December 2009
Purchasing an ideal home is an exciting venture and commonly the biggest commitment in a household. However, homebuyers often have to compromise on thelocation, lifestyle, property type or even the design of their desired home. Now, with the newly launched Hong Leong Flexi Mortgage, homebuyers are able toenjoy smaller instalment , payment flexibility and bigger loan amount to enable them to own their ideal home with ease without compromising theirlifestyle.
"Our deep understanding of customers' needs and lifestyle compels us to develop a product that enables customers to take up a bigger loan amount whileenjoying smaller monthly instalments . This is achievable with the bullet payment feature at the end of loan tenure," said Ms Yvonne Chia, HLB's GroupManaging Director.
The bullet payment feature in Hong Leong Flexi Mortgage fast track homebuyers' affordability in purchasing a home of their choice by deferring up to 35% ofthe loan amount to the end of the loan tenure while keeping the monthly instalment light, thus enabling them to own a better home today and not later.
So, how does this new product differ from the conventional housing loan? To illustrate, a customer takes up a RM280,000 conventional housing loan, has topay a monthly instalment of RM1,661. With Hong Leong Flexi Mortgage, the same customer now can enjoy a RM300,000 loan but only needs to pay RM1,512 for themonthly instalment. In this case, the customer gets to enjoy a 7% bigger loan amount and 10% smaller monthly instalment!
