Mortgage Term with OCBC
Property age, types of property and credit scores all affect OCBC mortgage terms.
Property Valuation with OCBC
OCBC Wing Hang Credit does not have their own valuation department. They usually use the valuation service by a third party company like DTZ, CBRE, Savills and Centaline Property Agency etc. to provide valuation services. HSBC only accepts valuation service from Debenham Thouard Zadelhoff (DTZ), therefore their valuation tends to be reserved.
OCBC Mortgage Online Valuation Service
OCBC offers only free telephone enquiry service for instant valuation. 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 purchase but also refinance mortgage. Numerous specific factors relating to the building will be looked at for example house prices of recent sales in the area, sales transactions, age, quality, unauthorised building works and building orders (if any). Village houses, old buildings and single private residential buildings usually have a low number of sales transactions, resulting in a low mortgage valuation.
For properties with a lower than expected valuation, MoneySmart suggests:

Paying for OCBC Mortgage
The repayment methods are similar among different banks but it's important to check the facility letter for early repayment terms. Usually, a penalty applies if you wish to repay the mortgage earlier.
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.
