What does it mean when the mortgage interest rate is converted to LPR?

The conversion of mortgage interest rates to LPR means that the housing loan interest rate changes from the original variable interest rate to the loan interest rate introduced by LPR. The new LPR quotation sheet is formed by the open market operation interest rate points. The LPR quotation sheet is once a month, and the quotation date is the 20th of each month. The housing loan interest rates in various places are quoted based on the LPR interest rate. The mortgage term is usually more than 5 years, and the 5-year LPR interest rate is mainly used as a reference.

Does anyone know how much the down payment is for a single mortgage?

The down payment for a single mortgage is no different from the general down payment. The down payment for an ordinary house must be more than 30% of the total house price; the down payment for a second mortgage must be no less than 60%.

If you apply for a provident fund loan, the down payment for a house less than 90 square meters is 20%, and for a house over 90 square meters, it is 30%. The interest rate of a provident fund loan is relatively small. If you can apply for a provident fund loan, it is recommended that you choose a provident fund loan.

The down payment for a single person applying for a mortgage is generally more than 30%. Down payment = total house price - customer loan amount. The calculation method for the down payment of a second-hand house is: net down payment = actual transaction price - customer loan amount. If you are buying a second house, the down payment will be as high as 60%, so you must confirm whether you have enough money.

Do I have to pay interest if I repay my mortgage early?

Early repayment of mortgage will return part of the interest. Generally speaking, early repayment can be divided into two parts, one is the early repayment principal, and the other is the interest generated from the early repayment principal from the last repayment date to the early repayment date. So, it can be seen that early repayment of mortgage includes interest.

However, whether early repayment is cost-effective depends on the user's repayment method and how many installments have been repaid. When the loan repayment period is more than halfway, early repayment is sometimes not cost-effective.
