Salam alikum, I recently purchased a house in Perth. I am an overseas worker and didn’t know about any islamic bank.
Now I am stressful because the way I am paying mortgage in not according to sharia. I need your help if I can transfer my existing mortgage to an Islamic bank and pay according to sharia?
Hi Faridullah,
Thanks for your question.
Transferring your existing mortgage to another lender is referred to as refinancing and is possible to do. You might want to take a look through the steps associated with refinancing. Before you start, take a look at the break costs and exit fees your current lender will charge you to leave your home loan to see if it’s a financially viable option.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
Thanks for your reply. I want to refinance but my question is that I want to borrow according to sharia, just like other islamic banks are doing Overseas. Reply if you can be of any help in this matter.
Hi Faridullah,
You’ll need to get in contact with Arab Bank directly to see if they are able to lend to you in this way, as I’m unaware of the specifics of sharia. If they can’t offer you this, you may want to get in touch with a mortgage broker who might be able to offer you other options for lenders.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
