Property Mortgage Rates: Comparing "H-rate" and "P-rate" Calculations

When comparing mortgages, it is crucial to understand the interest rate mechanisms. Most Hong Kong banks offer "H-rate" or "P-rate" plans:

H-rate Meaning: Based on the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate. Rates fluctuate with market liquidity—dropping quickly during cuts but remaining volatile.

P-rate Meaning: Based on the Prime Rate minus a fixed percentage. These rates are generally more stable but slower to decrease.

Mortgage Comparison by Property Type

GICL accepts a wide array of properties, including /private housing, tenements, premium-paid HOS/public housing, village houses, industrial buildings, shops, offices, parking spaces, and land plots—with no age limit.

Residential vs. Non-residential LTV Ratios

According to the latest HKMA guidelines, the bank LTV cap is now 70% (regardless of usage).

First-time buyers can reach 90% LTV via mortgage insurance but must pay premiums and strictly self-occupy.

GICL Advantage: LTV ratios up to 80% with significantly lower approval thresholds than banks.

Premium-Unpaid HOS Mortgages

Within the government guarantee period, unpaid HOS can secure up to 95% LTV. Post-guarantee, banks typically cap refinancing at 70%. GICL Solution: We offer a specialized HOS Owner Personal Loan. Preliminary approval as fast as 5 hours, loan amounts up to $1.5M, no stress test, and no need to pledge title deeds.

Tenement (Tong Lau) vs. Village House Mortgage Comparison

Comparison ItemTenement Building (Tong Lau) MortgageVillage House Mortgage
Bank Mortgage Loan-to-Value (LTV) RatioUp to 90% (inclusive of mortgage insurance), but typically only 60% to 70% is approved.Up to 85% (inclusive of mortgage insurance), but typically only 50% to 60% is approved.
Common Approval DifficultiesHigh property age, or regulatory violations such as unauthorized building works/subdivided flats.Ownership issues (e.g., unclear right of way), extremely conservative valuations.
Bank Repayment PeriodDue to the high property age (usually calculated as "75 minus property age"), the loan tenor is shorter.Relatively flexible; some banks may offer up to "55 minus property age".

*If your application for these properties is rejected by banks, GICL offers solutions with no property age limit.

Mortgage Rebates and Incentives Comparison

Banks often lure customers with "Cash Rebates." However, HKMA rules state that if a rebate exceeds 1%, it must be deducted from the loan amount, meaning you cannot pocket the cash directly.

nstead of rebates that reduce your loan principal, choose GICL’s direct waivers. We waive legal, valuation, and handling fees (subject to terms), saving you tens of thousands in upfront costs and providing more immediate liquidity.
