Unless you\u2019re planning to buy out your property in full cash <em>(in which case this article is not for you)<\/em>, you will definitely need to take out a loan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you\u2019re someone who likes absolute certainty, a fixed home loan rate might be right up your alley. Let\u2019s take a look at 3 key things you need to know before signing up for one.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-exactly-are-fixed-home-loan-rates\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What exactly are fixed home loan rates?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Precisely as the name suggests, fixed home loan rates (FHR) refers to a loan that has a fixed interest rate for the loan term.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A fixed home rate doesn\u2019t fluctuate or respond to volatility on the broader market. It stays exactly the same regardless of whether interest rates rise or fall. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Each respective bank decides their respective rates, using metrics that are not public domain.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-fixed-home-rates-aren-t-eligible-for-properties-under-construction\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. Fixed home rates aren\u2019t eligible for properties under construction<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is your bank running an irresistible promotion on a fixed home rate? That\u2019s something you have no choice but to pass on if your property hasn\u2019t completed construction.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-44997\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/hdb_building.jpg\" alt=\"HDB building\" class=\"wp-image-44997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/hdb_building.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/hdb_building-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><figcaption>Property still under construction? The only loan you can get is a floating one.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Buildings under construction (BUC) are only eligible for a floating rate loan. Until the construction of your property is completed, regardless of the type of property you have, the only bank loan you can get will most likely be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/sora-pegged-home-loan-5-key-things-switching-sor-sibor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singapore Overnight Average Rate<\/a> (SORA) or a package pegged to a rate set by the bank, often known as a board rate (BR).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The structure of the rates is usually the benchmark (SORA or BR) plus the spread (bank\u2019s profit). Whichever loan you decide to go for, be sure you clarify with your bank before you commit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-fixed-home-rates-aren-t-fixed-forever\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Fixed home rates aren\u2019t fixed forever<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Despite what the name suggests, fixed home rates stay fixed&#8230; until they\u2019re not. All fixed loan packages eventually convert to floating rates which are either pegged to the bank&#8217;s rate or the SORA rate. The conversion happens in one to five years, depending on the loan package you picked.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">These years are known as the lock-in period, during which you cannot refinance your loan without paying a penalty fee on the redemption of the disbursed portion of your mortgage. There are other fees as well, such as a cancellation fee.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your bank may decide to raise its interest rates, giving you an advance notice of just 30 days to decide if you want to stay or find a different loan option.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you\u2019ve purchased a HDB flat, you can take comfort in knowing that the interest rate on the HDB loan has remained static at 2.6% since 2003.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Quarter<\/b><\/td><td><b>Concessionary interest rate<\/b><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 October 2021 to 31 December 2021<\/td><td>2.6% per annum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 January 2022 to 1 March 2022<\/td><td>2.6% per annum<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hdb.gov.sg\/residential\/servicing-your-hdb-housing-loan\/loan-matters\/interest-rate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HDB<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another essential thing to keep in mind is that some banks won\u2019t alert you when your fixed home rate loan expires. After your lock-in period is up, your loan automatically converts to a floating rate loan depending on the package you signed up for, which may or may not work to your benefit.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-go-for-a-fixed-rate-if-you-re-risk-averse\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. Go for a fixed rate if you\u2019re risk-averse<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you\u2019re someone who favours predictability and want to know exactly how much you need to fork out every month, you should opt for a fixed home rate. A fixed rate makes it a lot more straightforward when it comes to organising your monthly cash flow and assists in long-term financial budgeting and planning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-48349\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/calculator-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"calculating finances\" class=\"wp-image-48349\"\/><figcaption>That&#8217;s one less thing you need to calculate every month.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fixed home loan rates of banks are historically more expensive than floating home loans. What you\u2019re paying for is the peace of mind and the certainty that your rate will remain the same, even if market conditions shift and interest rates skyrocket.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Those holding property long-term may also prefer to opt for a fixed home rate for stability and protection against market fluctuations. If you think about it, a lock-in period of five years isn\u2019t all that long, especially if you\u2019re purchasing a HDB flat where the MOP is exactly that of five years.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-is-the-best-time-to-get-a-fixed-home-loan\">When is the best time to get a fixed home loan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interest rates are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/keep-an-eye-on-interest-rates-and-inflation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">predicted to rise<\/a> in the near future. The United States Federal Reserve is likely to raise its rates three times to 0.75-1% by end-2022 in a bid to tame inflation, with the first hike starting as early as March. Singapore&#8217;s interest rates are closely pegged to that of the US, so be prepared for our rates to edge higher as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that if you&#8217;re taking a bank loan, your monthly mortgage payments will most likely increase as well. A fixed home loan rate would be an excellent way to hedge yourself against the rising interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chat with a mortgage broker or your bank about your different loan options so they can help you decide which is the best choice for your situation.
