    This is indeed a very good rate.
    Anytime there's a revision on their rate, you can switch to other bank too.

    OCBC quote a BR less disc for a 3 year lock-in

    1) 1.28%
    2) 1.48%
    3) 1.78%

    Average of 1.51%

    Also the reprice fee is reduced from $1K to $400.

    ----

    Would like to check is it possible to negotiate with the bank for better reprice rates and waiver of reprice fee?

    Take it!
    If they're able to give you fixed rate, will be better!

    If the loan is 25 years, do you mean 5th yrs to 25th years locked at 1.98%?

    DBS quoted a fixed rate of 1.88% for my reprice! Is this the best rate by DBS now?

    Need advice from the expert here. My loan is with UOB and link to SOR rate. My loan rate is close to 2%. The good point of my loan is that my deposit can enjoy same rate as my loan up to 75% of the Lian value and currently I ledge deposit up to 75% . Is there any better loan package for my case. Thank you

    DBS has another package which is FHR (Fixed Deposit Home Rate)

    1st FHR +0.95 =1.35
    2nd FHR +1.05 =1.45
    3rd FHR +1.25 = 1.65

    Current FHR is 0.4%. How often does DBS' FHR change? Is it safe to take this FHR package? Will FHR increase?

    Any help appreciated!

    This package seems not bad. You can go ahead.

    Yes UOB has increased their board rate, very soon others will follow suit.
    Prevailing UOB residential board rate is at 4.8% now.

    Give up looking at the interest rate, pray hard for the interest to drop.

    Should have enough for 3.5% interest rate.

    Quietly, 3M SIBOR has risen up from the 0.65% area to 0.8%.

    Expect a 0.2% increase by April to hit 1%.

    For borrowers who are still on SIBOR, beware and be ready!

    Bank adjustment will be soon again!

    Did you see wrongly? 3M-SIBOR should be 0.703% now (not 0.8%).
    3M-SOR is now 0.895%.

    Can Term Loans (property used as collateral) be refinanced?

    Does the MAS rules affect such loans. These are not 'Propety Loan' or Housing Mortgage Loan'.

    Yes they can be refinanced but still subjected to TDSR.
