Determine The Right Loan Package For You
Selecting the right home loan package that fits your needs and goals is important. There are many loan packages available in the market. Interest rate is not the only factor that distinguishes one loan package from another. Each type of loan has its advantages and limitations:
- Floating rates are generally pegged to a board rate or market rate such as the Swap Offer Rate. Advantages of a floating-rate loan include lower initial monthly repayments as compared to a fixed-rate loan. However, it is important to note that floating-rate loans offer lower 'initial rates' by sharing the future risk of higher rates between the borrower and lender. A floating-rate loan can be an advantageous financing choice under certain conditions, such as rising income expectations and short-term property-ownership. However, home-buyers considering a floating-rate loan should be prepared financially for adjustments in interest rates and/or repayments which can increase steadily or irregularly.
