Thousands of SMDC condo owners are still paying rates of 8% or higher. Refinance through Nook and unlock rates as low as 5.99% p.a. — completely free to you.
SMDC OWNER ESTIMATED SAVINGS
No commitment. No credit check. Just your numbers.
Why this matters
If you bought an SMDC condo unit — whether it's a Sea Residences, Shell Residences, Vine Residences, or any other development in their portfolio — chances are your home loan was originally taken out at a rate well above what's available today. Many SMDC buyers locked in rates between 8% and 10% during their first repricing period, and simply never got around to reviewing their options. That inertia is costing them real money every single month. Refinancing replaces your existing loan with a new one at a lower interest rate, and with Nook's best available rate of 5.99% p.a., the savings on a 3,000,000 peso balance can easily exceed 4,500 pesos per month.
Nook is the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, and our service is 100% free for borrowers. We do the legwork of comparing offers from BDO, BPI, Security Bank, RCBC, Metrobank, and other major lenders so you don't have to. Once we identify the best deal for your SMDC unit, we guide you through the entire application process. You can check current mortgage interest rates in the Philippines to see exactly how today's rates compare to what you're paying now — the gap is often larger than homeowners expect.
SMDC condos are well-regarded by Philippine banks as collateral, which means you're in a strong position to negotiate a competitive refinance rate. Whether your unit is in Metro Manila, Laguna, or another SMDC location nationwide, Nook can match you with a lender that fits your profile and your property. The entire process is handled digitally, with minimal paperwork and no need to visit multiple bank branches. Getting started takes less than five minutes — just enter your current loan details and see your personalised savings estimate.

Common questions
Yes, most major Philippine banks including BDO, BPI, Security Bank, Metrobank, and RCBC accept SMDC condominium units as collateral for refinancing. SMDC is one of the country's largest developers, so their properties are well-known to lenders and generally straightforward to appraise. Nook works with all these banks and will match you with the one offering the best rate for your specific unit and financial profile.
On a 3,000,000 peso outstanding balance moving from 8.50% to 5.99% over a 20-year term, you'd save approximately 4,544 pesos per month — that's over 54,000 pesos a year. Savings vary depending on your remaining balance, current rate, and remaining term, but even borrowers with smaller balances typically save tens of thousands of pesos annually. Use Nook's free calculator to get a figure based on your exact loan details.
Yes, Nook charges absolutely nothing to the borrower. Nook earns a referral fee from the bank that wins your business, not from you. This means you get independent, unbiased advice and full application support at zero cost, and the banks compete for your loan rather than you having to negotiate alone.
You'll typically need your latest Statement of Account from your current lender, a copy of your Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT) or the developer's contract, proof of income (payslips or ITR for self-employed), and valid government IDs. Nook will give you a precise checklist once you've chosen a bank to apply with. If you're comparing lenders, you can also review the BPI housing loan requirements as a reference for what most banks ask for.
From application to loan release, the refinance process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on the bank and the completeness of your documents. Nook helps you prepare a complete application upfront, which significantly reduces back-and-forth and speeds up approval. Once approved, your new lender pays off your old loan directly and you simply start making lower monthly payments.
