The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited
Fixed Rate Mortgage Scheme
The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited (HKMC) has introduced a scheme for fixed-rate mortgages for 10, 15 and 20 years. It aims to provide an alternative financing option to homebuyers for mitigating their risks arising from interest rate volatility, thereby enhancing banking stability in the long run. These mortgage loans can be with or without mortgage insurance under the Mortgage Insurance Programme.
The maximum loan amount of each residential mortgage is HK$10 million. At the end of the fixed-rate period, the borrowers may either re-fix the mortgage rate under the fixed-rate mortgages or convert the mortgage to a floating-rate loan. The interest rates per annum and other details of the fixed-rate mortgages1 are as follows:
| Fixed-rate Period | Gross Mortgage Rate (GMR) | Full / Partial Prepayment Penalty (% of the prepaid amount) | Application Period | Drawdown Period | |
| Fixed Interest Rate | GMR after the Fixed-rate Period | ||||
| 10-year | 4.74% | The then prevailing fixed mortgage rate or The applicable floating mortgage rate2 |
1st year: 3% 2nd year: 2% 3rd year: 1% | From 26 Sep 2024 until further notice | Within 2 months upon receipt of application by the bank |
| 15-year | 4.89% | ||||
