Tan said for a RM200,000 loan, the first payment is RM1,000 and every year the customer will receive a percentage of the cash back amount until the end of loan tenure. The cash back home loan features include a repayment option and up to 90 percent margin of financing, applicable for completed property with a minimum loan amount of RM200,000.

Hong Leong Bank’s group managing director Yvonne Chia said housing loans today accounted for 58 percent of total household debt and the commitment was long term, averaging from 20 to 30 years.” The cash back concept was tested and validated through independent research and we are confident it will be a success with our customers,” she said.

ANZ National Raises Home Loan Rate on Credit Costs, Herald Says

ANZ National Bank.. New Zealand’s largest lender raised its fixed mortgage rates for the second time this year as global credit market turmoil increases funding costs, the New Zealand Herald reported. ANZ National lifted its two-year fixed rate to 9.7 percent from 9.5 percent, the Herald said, citing a statement issued by the bank. The three-year rate rose 0.25 percentage points to 9.55 percent.

The move is in response to “severe” market conditions and an increase in wholesale interest rates, ANZ National said, according to the newspaper. Another New Zealand bank, ASB Bank., raised its floating mortgage rate by 20 basis points to 10.75 percent, the Herald reported. The official cash rate set by New Zealand’s central bank is at a record 8.25 percent after it was increased four times last year.

January’s figures ended the seven month slump in home loan approvals, says the Bank of England…

It’s probably best not to get over-excited just yet, but following on from so many reports of tighter lending and stretched affordability, the latest figures from the Bank of England are quite encouraging. According to their report, the number of home loan approvals rose to 74,000 in January, a modest improvement on the 72,000 approvals in December, and the end of seven consecutive months of decline. However, the total was still some way off the six month average of 93,000 and considerably lower than the 121,000 home loan approvals recorded in January 2007.

Remortgaging approvals fared well, rising from 101,000 to 119,000 in January, well above their 97,000 six month average. This helped to boost the total number of approvals secured on dwellings to 253,000, up ten per cent from December’s 229,000.The value of these loans subsequently increased from £26.1 billion to £29.7 billion over this period.

Got a home loan? Take care of property papers

Sudhir Bawa had taken a home loan from a multinational bank and repaid it, but when he sought the original sale deed papers back from the bank he was told that his property papers were lost.”I had taken Rs 9,00,000 as home loan from HSBC Bank in Connaught Place in 2000. By 2002 I had repaid the loan. But the bank apprised me that the original sale deed papers were lost,” said Bawa, consultant with an international pharmaceutical company, told IANS. The bank washed its hands of the matter by lodging an FIR at the Connaught Place police station. They informed me by a letter and then merely registered an FIR. However, they refused to compensate me for the loss caused by the bank’s carelessness. If the documents get into the wrong hands they can easily be misused,” Bawa added.

Bawa had to eventually sell off his property at a lower price, bearing a loss of over Rs 10 lakh.”This is sheer negligence on the part of the bank and they are liable to compensate the loan applicant,” said lawyer Manjeet Singh Ahluwalia. Lawyers handling consumer matters also agree that though such cases are not the norm, banks are averse to granting compensation to the aggrieved.”Banks are generally not inclined to compensate the loan applicant, leaving him with no recourse but to move court. This unnecessarily adds to the backlog of cases,” said Sugriv Dubey, a lawyer.
