Wing Lung Bank Mortgage Plan: Disadvantages

Penalty Period

Paying back some or all of your mortgage within the penalty period will incur early repayment charges. The penalty period of Wing Lung is 3 years- which is relatively longer compared to other banks. For details, you can check your facility letter.

Restrictions on Property Types

You may need to submit extra documentation for certain types of property and some are not even applicable to Wing Lung Bank mortgage plans such as mainland properties, public housing, etc.

Mortgage Term with Wing Lung Bank

Property age, types of property and credit scores all affect BOC mortgage terms:

Wing Lung will take property age into account when reviewing your mortgage applications.

Wing Lung will also consider the types of property you are applying for when approving your mortgage. For example, if you apply for a mortgage for a village house, it can be more complex as it usually takes a bank longer to carry out due diligence on the title, permitted uses, legality of construction, etc, before approving the loan applications.

Your credit score also plays a part in your mortgage application. If you have a good credit score, you will be likely to get a preferential rate. If not, your mortgage term, loan amount and interest rate will be negatively affected.

Property Valuation with Wing Lung Bank

Most of the banks do 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 to provide valuation services.

Wing Lung 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 mortgages. Various 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). Certain property types such as 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:

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 Wing Lung Bank Mortgage

Wing Lung Bank has a flexible repayment scheme, allowing applicants to repay their mortgage every month or every 2 weeks.

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.
