For the most part, there is no difference between applying for a regular mortgage and a refinancing mortgage. The only difference is customers are required to pay off the outstanding balance of their current mortgage. For details on refinancing, please call our Mortgage Hotline 2963 6489 within office hours.

In Hong Kong, most home mortgages are either based on our Hong Kong Dollar Prime Rate (P) or Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR).

A conventional mortgage will allow up to 70% of the property's value. To borrow up to 90% of the property's value, customer can apply for the Mortgage Insurance Program.

Upon making any mortgage application or redemption, you will be responsible for the legal expenses to be incurred by both yourself and the Bank, regardless of whether or not both parties are represented by the same solicitor firm. While the Bank only engages solicitors from the Bank’s list of approved panel firms (the “List”) to represent the Bank, you have the right to engage your own solicitors out of the List to separately represent yourself. However, if you engage separate solicitors to represent yourself, extra legal costs will be incurred by additional work to be conducted by solicitors representing each party in reviewing and negotiating the other party’s documentation. Therefore, you are reminded to check with the Bank on whether the solicitor you are going to engage is on the List to avoid incurring additional costs.

Please note that the Bank shall not be liable for any loss or damages which you may incur in connection with your engagement of any solicitors. The legal expenses charged by the respective solicitors may vary depending on the solicitors’ firm.
