Fubon Bank Mortgage Plan: Advantages

The Fubon Bank Mortgage Plan applies to large housing estates, single blocks , tong lau, village houses, office buildings, shops and parking spaces and other property types, catering to the needs of various home buyers. Before applying for a mortgage at Fubon Bank, valuation is needed. However, Valuation fees can be exempted.

Fubon Bank Mortgage Plan: Disadvantages

Fubon Bank does not have its own valuation department. Mortgage loan given by the bank may therefore be lower than the estimated value. The referral commision of Fubon bank is also much higher than other banks - Fubon bank charges 0.8% while other banks charge 0.3%.

Property Valuation with Fubon Bank

Fubon Bank does not have their own valuation department. They usually use the valuation service by a third party company like Savills to provide valuation services.

Fubon Bank Online Valuation Service

Online Valuation Service doesn’t cover all properties in Hong Kong and the valuation tends to be more reserved. MoneySmart suggests considering valuation from a number of banks or using MoneySmart Property Valuation Calculator.

Property valuation is an important part of the entire mortgage application process. It does not only affect new purchases but also refinance mortgage. Numerous specific factors relating to the building will be considered during valuation. Old buildings and village houses usually have a low number of sales transactions, resulting in a low mortgage valuation.

For properties with a lower than expected valuation, MoneySmart suggests:

1

Requesting banker to get valuations from few more companies. However they may refuse your request. Alternatively, you can apply through MoneySmart. We work with all major mortgage lenders. We can help you to compare, choose and apply for the best mortgage with a higher valuation.

2

For refinance mortgage, you can directly commission a company for property valuation and submit the valuation report to the bank directly. This approach suits under valuated properties like village houses and old buildings. It may double the valuation price. However, not all banks accept reports like this. It is best to check in advance.

Paying for Fubon Bank Mortgage

Can I apply for a mortgage only by rental income?

Yes. But not all rental income will be counted as monthly regular income. Please see below for details:

Percentage of rental income calculated as monthly regular income.

Lease with stamping: 70%

Lease without stamping: 60%

For example: If the monthly income of the applicant is HK$20,000 and his/ her monthly rental income (lease with stamping provided). His monthly income will be HK$20,000 + HK$10,000 X 70%, which is HK$27,000.

Should you pay off your mortgage early?

Early mortgage repayment

There are two types of early mortgage repayment. The first one is to pay off the debt completely and the property will become yours. The second one is to pay back the capital to save on some interests. No matter which one you choose, you may be subject to early mortgage repayment fees. In recent years, some banks have shortened the penalty period to half a year or a year. If a borrower decides to repay the debt within the penalty period, a higher early mortgage repayment fees/ interest rates will be incurred. If it is beyond the penalty period, the fees will be a lot less. In the first year of the penalty period, the penalty is 1%+cash rebate and in the second year, the penalty is all cash rebate. MoneySmart suggests negotiating the best penalty period terms before accepting the mortgage plan.
