As the saying goes, “change is the only constant�. Without change there will be no growth, and without growth, there will be no prosperity. So far, it has been an exciting journey for Property Hunter. This past year or so, we have made some tweaks and additions. In January 2016, we changed the overall look of the magazine. In January, this year, we finally launched the much-anticipated PH App. A lot of time and creative work was put into both processes, and thankfully so far, they have been very well received. Another very exciting milestone for Property Hunter last month was being awarded the prestigious MSC status by MDec. To be given this title, it means that a company must be an IT or IT-facilitated company. And that’s exactly where Property Hunter is heading towards. To achieve this, we hope to eventually shift from being a publishing company, into a fullyintegrated IT company. And the first step in this process is that we have made the decision to change our magazine from being a monthly, into a bi-monthly publication. The decision to go bi-monthly is so that the transition into going fully digital will be easier for everyone involved. We will slowly shift our focus into moving all the content to our website. The first bi-monthly magazine issue will be rolled-out in June this year. We sincerely hope that you understand and will still support us all the way. Sometimes these changes are necessary and they have been thought of carefully. Every decision we make is usually made by putting you, our readers and our clients, in mind. Thank you always!

HOUSING LOAN DOCUMENTS 10 important things to look out for before signing Words By Chris Tan
A
signature serves as a universally recognised symbol of proof of an agreement and seals the deal in many agreements and contracts and
makes it legally binding. One should scrutinise loan documents carefully before signing them. The terms in housing loan documents are usually standardised by financial institutions. The terms may vary by the letter of offer which is tailored to the prospective borrower’s circumstances and capabilities on the repayment of the loan. With the idiom, “the devil is in the details” in mind, one would certainly want to avoid being taken by surprise by certain terms and conditions that might have been missed.
www.PropertyHunter.com.my
37
HOT TOPIC
Here is a list of 10 things to look out for before signing that housing loan document.
THIRD. Interest Rate. It needs to be considered that the rate of interest per annum quoted by the financial institution from time to time differs according to present circumstances and will be reflected in the letter of offer. Different financial institutions also provide different Effective Lending Rates (ELR) subject to revision which has been updated recently and can be accessed at the BNM website. According to the BNM Guide to Consumer on Reference Rate, the borrowers should compare and contrast ELRs offered by different financial institutions, ask for a Product Disclosure Sheet for the best ELR suited, enquire about the factors which could affect the Base Rate (BR) from the financial institution, observe the monthly
FIRST. Type of Loan. There is a wide variety of loans offered by financial institutions. Each type of loan is unique. These include overdrafts, deferred payment, term loans, flexi loans, Islamic financing, interest only loan, etc. The borrower must understand the features of each type of loan from the bankers before choosing the one that best suits them.
SECOND. Loan Amount. Apart from financing for the purchase price of a house, the borrower may request the financial institution to finance other costs that will be incurred by the housing loan facility such as the Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA) or the Mortgage
repayment amount and assess further capabilities of the loan’s affordability to equip the borrower to deal with the fluctuation rates periodically.
FOURTH. Length of Loan. Housing loan periods can range up to 35 years. It can also depend on the borrower’s age, reaching up to 65 years of age (or any other age as determined by the financial institution). However, longer loan tenures will usually be given to younger borrowers with a good credit profile. The length of loan also determines the amount that needs to be paid monthly as longer loans for the same amount of monies borrowed requires less servicing monthly.
Reducing Term Takaful (MRTT), valuation fees and legal costs. MRTA and MRTT is a reducing term life insurance which protects the borrowers financially in the event of a death or total permanent disability. Most of the financial institutions require the borrowers to subscribe to the MRTA or MRTT for their loan. The borrower may ease their financing burden of having to pay for upfront costs getting financing of the said costs in the loan amount. However, this additional loan amount will increase the amount of the monthly instalment.
38
www.PropertyHunter.com.my
FIFTH. Payment of Loan. One shouldn’t burden themselves too much and bite off more than they could chew in financing their loans. Instalment amounts should be kept in check so that instances of increment are kept in check. The amount spent per month on financing loans should not eat away too much into the funds needed for the cost of living.
SIXTH. Lock-in Period. Financial institutions will set a ‘lock-in period’, whereby the borrowers are not allowed to settle the loan repayment in full prior to the deadline period otherwise, an earlier exit penalty will be imposed. Besides the duration of the lock-in period, the commencement date of the lock-in period also plays an important role especially for the financing of under construction houses. The common commencement date could be from the date of first loan disbursement or full loan disbursement. For instance, if the commencement date of the lock-in period is from the date of the full loan disbursement, the duration of the lock-in period for the financing for a completed house is effectively shorter than financing for an under-construction house as the latter will take 2 to 3 years to disburse the loan fully. Therefore, the borrower should be aware of the lock-in period time, the start date of the lock-in period, as well as the rate of the exit penalty.
SEVENTH. Type of Security Document. For residential properties, it can either come with its title or without it. The security documents that concerns properties with a title are the charging instrument in Form 16A, Charge Annexure, and Facility Agreement. Properties that do not have its own title yet require the Deed of Assignment, Power of Attorney, and the Facility Agreement as security documents. In certain circumstances, if the financial institution is under the impression that the borrower’s financial background or records are not strong enough, additional security may be required. The additional security could be in the form of a guarantor, an assignment of rental proceeds, a charge over the fixed deposit, etc.
EIGTH. Events of a Default. The ‘events of default’ clause in a loan agreement stipulates that events trigger the financial institution’s exercising rights in the loan agreement, such as demanding for the full repayment of the loan amount. Financial institutions tend to have very broad “events of default” clauses to protect their interest in instances which are in the opinion of the financial institution may imperil, delay or prevent the borrower or the security party from performing its obligations or jeopardise the financial institution’s interest.
TENTH. The Right of The Financial Institution on Default. In the event of a default, the financial institution could immediately suspend the utilisation of the loan to prevent further disbursement. The amount owed by the borrower is immediately payable upon the Financial institution’s demand and they can impose a default interest on the amount owed and due. The financial institution shall exercise the rights as attorney of the borrower and/or security party to deal with the property in the borrower’s and/or security party’s name and on their behalf.

With this, the share of affordable housing transaction is made as the proxy for the share of affordable homes within the market. The shortage of affordable homes is determined by subtracting the stock of
property acquisitions. With this, the report suggested four proactive measures – forming a central repository to monitor and manage supply and demand; rising supply and lowering the prices of affordable homes; diversifying financing sources via innovative financing schemes; and developing a thriving rental housing market by enforcing tenancy protection to make rental a viable option and not a last resort.

S P Setia Berhad (S P Setia), Permodalan National Berhad (PNB) and Amanahraya Trustees Berhad (as trustee for Amanah Saham Bumiputera) (ASB) had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Intent (MOI) to commence negotiations on the proposed acquisition by S P Setia of the entire equity interest in I&P Group Sdn. Berhad (I&P Group), which has remaining 4,263 acres of landbanks to fast track its expansion plan (“Proposed I&P Acquisition”). The indicative price for the Proposed I&P Acquisition is estimated to be within the range of RM3.5 billion to RM3.75 billion. However, the final purchase price will only be determined and agreed upon after taking into consideration the necessary due diligence results, the audited net assets value (NAV) of I&P Group which as at 31 December 2016 was RM3.16 billion. The Proposed I&P Acquisition will be funded by a combination of equity, internally generated funds and borrowings. S P Setia is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to expand its land banks and to stay ahead as the leading township developer in Malaysia. Upon successful completion of the Proposed I&P Acquisition, S P Setia will have increased its prime land banks in Central Klang Valley and Johor Bahru significantly. “We are truly excited about this corporate exercise

WHERE’S A PROPERTY HOTSPOT? There are so many new developments mushrooming, so how can you tell if an area is going to be the next best thing? With a few obvious indicators and some common sense, you can gauge whether a certain area is going to be popular or not. Words By Property Hunter
W
ithout a crystal ball, it can sometimes be difficult to find the next best place to invest in. And yet, most seasoned
property investors will tell you the same thing: Buy properties located in hotspots. If you’re just starting out, you must be wondering, “Where are these hotspots?” Even when you’ve found one, properties in these areas are usually pricey. But, the good news is, you can consider the neighbouring areas for future investment gold.
www.PropertyHunter.com.my
53
HOT TOPIC
TRANSPORT LINKS & IMPROVEMENTS Update yourself with any new transport links or improvements. Improvements to transport infrastructure usually have positive impacts on nearby property prices as it makes it easier for people to move around. Better access to hospitals, airports and the city makes an impact to property values in nearby areas as it makes it accessible, hence, a more desirable place to live in. Information on new transport infrastructure projects can usually be obtained through local state government bodies such as DBKK, SEDIA (Sabah Economic Development), as well as through local media channels such as newspapers.
FOLLOW THE BIG BOYS Have you noticed that every McDonalds is always located in a thriving area? This is a dead giveaway for an upcoming hotspot as chains like McDonalds, Starbucks or a huge supermarket chain have their own R&D team. They will only open in a certain area after extensive research is done to make sure that there are sufficient population and a need for one. As soon as you hear that a big chain is opening in a particular area, it’s a good idea to see what properties are available there for you to invest in.
LONG TERM EMPLOYMENT One of the most important factors when it comes to where people want to live is the proximity to work. When in the market for a property, find an area which is close to longterm employment opportunities. A quick boom (shortterm) in employment can cause a fall in the market when employment in the area goes down in the future.
SCHOOLS & HOSPITALS Families with young children or the elderly will favour staying close to schools and hospitals. Parents would not want to waste time driving their kids to and from school every day. Two words – traffic central. Hospitals will generally reside near good transport infrastructure because, in the case of a medical emergency, people can get to the hospital as quick as possible. And usually, areas with schools and hospitals will be inhabited by families, giving out a community feel, making it an ideal place to live in. Make sure to pick a very good or reputable school as locations within its proximity are the ones that will be searched for the most.
54
www.PropertyHunter.com.my
THE RIPPLE EFFECT Did you miss the boat on a certain hotspot? Don’t you worry. A “ripple effect” happens when property prices in a prime suburb have skyrocketed, pushing people to start looking to neighbouring areas that are more affordable, and when that too starts getting expensive, they move on to the next neighbouring suburb. Once an area has maxed out in terms of price, it no longer has value as a “hotspot”.
THE QUIET CATALYST Another way to find a hotspot is to find a catalyst. Just like schools and hospitals, the quiet catalyst are establishments that will attract and require massive numbers of homes for their workers, students, and tenants. These sorts of things include industrial areas and universities. More often than not, most people will not be informed or hear any news of its development, only known to regulars to the area until the project is announced in the media.
WHO’S BUILDING THERE? If you’re looking to invest in an area, especially a new suburb, check to see who’s the developer. It’s always safer to go with an established and well-known developer with a proven track record.
Once you’ve identified some of these areas, even better if they tick one or more of the boxes mentioned, you should dig even deeper and evaluate yourself with these questions:
l
How confident are you about tenants wanting to rent in the area?
l
What is the population there and its demographics?
l
Are there more than one reasons that the area will grow in value?
l
What are the negatives about the location and can they be easily overlooked?
l
What about other positives?
l
Will it be a destination or a dead-end?
When attempting to identify a hotspot, it should be measured with careful assessment of an area’s strengths and potential risks and should not be for the purpose of seeking for short-term investment gain but for the longer-term. Good luck in your search!

The Difference Between Internal & External Refinancing There are times when borrowers in the home loan market may find the need to refinance their mortgage loans. The most important factor that determines this decision is the allure of lower interest rates and to take out additional cash, once the new mortgage loan comes into effect. Co-written By Property Hunter and Miichael Yeoh

T
here are two ways to refinance one’s property. Refinancing is the replacement of an existing old debt obligation plan with
a new debt plan provided by a new lender. A common reason why people choose to internally refinance is to take advantage of a better financing plan to improve their personal finances and monthly repayments. A borrower can either take up an internal or external refinancing scheme.
EXTERNAL
REFINANCING? An external refinancing scheme indicates that a borrower is switching his loan from one bank to another. Borrowers should always check on the cost of both internal and external refinance methods.

TO Save money:

to Change loan type:
This generally requires that you refinance into a loan with a lower interest rate than your existing interest rate. Especially with longterm loans and large amounts of money, lowering the interest rate can result in significant savings.
If the value of your home has increased, refinancing allows you take up a new home-loan based on the higher valuation. This means that part of the amount will be used to pay off your original home loan, whilst the remaining amount could be used for other personal needs.
A flexi loan can save you from a lot of interest if you use it to your advantage. A flexi loan is a combination of term loan and overdraft. You will still be required to pay the minimum monthly instalment. However, any extra payment will go towards reducing the principal, and in turn, will reduce the tenure year’s payable.

Your original home value: RM400,000

SAVE ON INTEREST:
No hassle :
When your lock-in period is coming to an end, you should consider speaking to your existing bank and request for a lower interest package. However, this is subjected to the existing bank approval. Not only will this shorten your loan tenure, it will also help you pay less interest over the full duration.
You can avoid the extra paperwork and legal fees if you choose to reprice your loan. It may be possible that your bank knows that you’re opting for a hassle-free method, so whether you can convince it to offer you an improved loan package that is comparable to refinancing rates would very much depend on your negotiation skills.
Saves Money : There are many ways to lower your repayment. For example, if you currently have a fixedrate loan, you could consider switching it to a variable interest rate loan that generally offers lower interest.

Fund Your Retirement Through Property Investment When you’re ready to hang up your work boots, a rental property can be a useful source of regular income. Retirement used to be such a simple notion.

n the world we are in today, it is encouraged that we fund for our own retirement, and while a retirement pension is specifically designed for this purpose, it’s not the only investment that is well-suited for a retirement fund.
Some people swear that real estate investment is the way to create a comfortable retirement: 1. Buy a property. 2. Find a tenant. 3. Collect income while the tenant pays off your mortgage. Yes, it can be, if you’re willing to go all out. Property rentals offer the sporadic opportunity to generate passive income. Indeed, a well-located unit can produce an extra few hundreds per month after expenses. There are many ways to achieve retirement through investing in property.
