HONEYMOON RATE PERIOD :. Print Print this document

In competing for market share, many banks resort to offering very low fixed interest rates for the first few years of the term of the loan. The Honeymoon Interest Rates do not last and will revert to the standard floating rate (ie BLR + Spread) after the initial years, which may be costly in an increasing interest rate environment.

To determine the most suitable package, you should verify:-

 1.the applicable Honeymoon Interest Rates (which differ between a completed property and one under construction);
 2.the period for which the Honeymoon Interest Rates are applicable;
 3.the commencement date or the expiry date of the period for which the Honeymoon Interest Rates are applicable;
 4.the penalty fee in the event of prepayment
