Mortgage — first-year cost

What does the first year of this mortgage cost?

Every sample states prime minus a spread, HIBOR plus a spread, and the HIBOR cap. This page marks whether the payment is currently using H or currently using P.

File freeze date

These mortgages are illustrative samples. HIBOR and prime are frozen numbers in this file, not today’s fixing. A cash rebate may have to be returned inside the lock-in.

TrueCash only compares and illustrates. It is not a mortgage broker, it does not take applications, and it does not pick a plan for you.

Ranked by the cost you picked

All 9 samples fit.

The payment uses the side marked in force: capped H or P, whichever is lower, unless the file sets a bank rule. First-year cost is interest over the first 12 months, plus upfront fees, minus any cash rebate. Mortgage insurance is left out. The numbers are illustrative.

    All-in 3.77%
    HIBOR rate and cap
    H + 1.50%
    capped at 4.00% · All-in 3.35%

    Sample all-in H is 3.35%. Sample all-in P is 3.77%. The lower one is H, so the payment uses 3.35%.

    • Lock-in
    Monthly payment
    HK$27,586.44
    First-year cost
    HK$118,177.02

    The 4.00% cap does not bind at this sample HIBOR.

    First-year cost already subtracts the cash rebate of HK$67,200. Inside the lock-in, early redemption may require that rebate back.

    The instalment may not be the cheapest. Year-one cost looks low because of the rebate. The 4.00% cap does not bind at this sample HIBOR.

    Sample: the rebate is large and the lock-in is long. Leave inside 36 months and the rebate this page deducted may have to be returned.

    First-year cost already subtracts the cash rebate of HK$28,000. Inside the lock-in, early redemption may require that rebate back.

    No rate cap. The rebate is 0.50% of the loan, capped at HK$40,000 in this sample. Maximum LTV is 70%.

    Sample: the lock-in is 36 months. Refinancing inside it may mean returning the whole rebate.

    The 4.50% cap does not bind at this sample HIBOR.

    First-year cost already subtracts the cash rebate of HK$50,000. Inside the lock-in, early redemption may require that rebate back.

    The discount to prime is smaller, so the instalment is higher. The rebate and the higher LTV are the point of this sample.

    Sample: 90% LTV often needs mortgage insurance, and that premium is not in this page. The rebate locks for 36 months.

    First-year cost already subtracts the cash rebate of HK$22,400. Inside the lock-in, early redemption may require that rebate back.

    The upfront fee of HK$3,000 is included in the first-year cost.

    H+1.35% sits a little above the 3.10% cap, so the capped rate is used. There is also a sample valuation fee.

    Sample: 24-month lock-in. The HK$3,000 valuation fee is an expense in this illustration.
