PSBank’s Home Rate Protect program offers buyers the option to loan up to 70% of the total contract price of their unit which they can pay for a maximum loan period of 25 years with a fixed interest rate currently at 11.5% per annum.
Beth Collingz, PLC Global Pinoy International Marketing Director and Lead Marketing Partners for PCPI’s Lancaster Brand of Condotels in the Philippines said the fixed rate of interest applied for the full 25 year mortgage protects borrowers from interest rate fluctuations and seals in the monthly installments for the term of the loan.
Open to all Filipinos and those married to Foreign Nationals who are at least 21 years old [but not more than 65 years upon maturity of loan] wherein unit buyers should have also paid at least 30% of the condo’s net contract price to be eligible for the loan – the program applies to Lancaster’s residential units only.
This development by PSBank follows the recent approval of Banco De Oro (BDO) a commercial Bank in Metro Manila, for a buyer’s financing or mortgage plan for Lancaster Suites Tower I Manila Condotel units. “The new financing scheme, a first providing Philippine Mortgages to Foreign Nationals residing overseas for the purchase of Condotel units in the Philippines, is now available to unit owners (Filipinos, Filipino-Americans and Foreign Nationals alike) whom are looking to purchase a Condo Hotel Suite or refinance their investments through BDO’s Home Loan” Collingz said.
Existing unit owners who are availing of Pacific Concord Properties in-house financing have the option to pay off their units in 144 months. With BDO’s Home Loan, unit owners can now opt to pay off the balance for up to 15 years [180 months] at only 11.5% per annum. By converting the existing in-house loan to BDO’s Home Loan, buyers will have more flexibility in paying off their loans at a much lower interest rate. What’s more, with BDO’s Home Loan, buyers can loan the full amount equivalent to 70% of the current value of their units regardless if they have already paid more than 30% of the units’ TCP. After paying the balance of the unit price to PCPI, the net amount will then be released directly to them. Buyers can take advantage of this offer to free up some cash as well as to finance the fit-out of their units in the condotel pool or their business set up requirements in their commercial units.
“Many of my previous clients whom have purchased units in Lancaster Suites Tower I are now set to cash in on their equity by availing of the new financing options to be able to reinvest in new units at Lancaster Atrium which is currently on preconstruction selling” said Collingz.
Collingz continued, “Not only will buyers of units in Tower I have rental income from their units from the middle part of 2007 that will partially offset mortgage payments, they can now free up their equity and take advantage of the current low prices for Condotel Suites in the new Lancaster Atrium and stand to make another 70-80% in property appreciation by the time the building is fully completed from 2010′
