            <title>Query on payment for property under construction</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3455056</link>
            <description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New in purchasing property, been reading for some times now in this forum, but can&amp;#39;t seem to find the below facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&amp;#39;s say if I am planning to purchase a property under construction - let&amp;#39;s say RM500k, with 10% downpayment whereby the construction will be completed within 3 years. How does the interest/cash outflows will happen during these 3 years? (i.e., computation of the interest portion).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;e.g.,&lt;br /&gt;Loan = 90% of 550k (purchase price) = RM 450k loan&lt;br /&gt;Interest on loan = 4.45%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Year 1&lt;/b&gt; - assume 35% completion - developer will bill to the bank and the bank will withdraw the loan and I will be billed on the interest portion of the loan withdrawn.&lt;br /&gt;Cash outflow:&lt;br /&gt;Downpayment - RM 50,000&lt;br /&gt;Interest portion -RM 7,008.75&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;35% x RM 450k x 4.45% = RM 7,008.75&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Year 2&lt;/b&gt; - 65% completion&lt;br /&gt;Cash outflow:&lt;br /&gt;Interest portion - RM 13,016.25&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;65% x RM 450k x 4.45% = RM 13,016.25&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Year 3&lt;/b&gt; - 100% completion - yet to be VP&lt;br /&gt;Cash outflow:&lt;br /&gt;Interest portion - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;100% x RM 450k x 4.45% = RM 20,025.00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vacant Possession&lt;br /&gt;Monthly instalment consists of capital + interest&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did I compute the above correctly? If yes, usually will we require to pay one-off straight to the bank on the interest portion or via monthly instalment during the construction period?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, understand that each bank has their lock-in period, will the 3 years under construction will be part of the lock-in period or the lock-in period will only be commenced upon VP?  &lt;!--emo&amp;:stars:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxub.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;  &lt;!--emo&amp;:stars:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxub.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;  &lt;!--emo&amp;:stars:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxub.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks</description>
