Why this matters
SMDC Green Residences sits at one of Manila's most strategic addresses — right along Taft Avenue, steps from De La Salle University, the LRT-1 Gil Puyat station, and the commercial pulse of Pasay and Malate. As a condo owner here, your property sits in a high-demand corridor that Philippine banks view favourably when assessing refinance applications. That means you're in a strong position to qualify for the best available rates — and Nook's lender network starts at 5.99% p.a., well below what most SMDC buyers locked in at signing.
Many Green Residences unit owners originally financed through SMDC's in-house arrangements or took out loans with banks at rates between 7% and 9%, often during a period when rates were high or when they simply didn't have time to compare offers. If your loan is at least two to three years old and your remaining balance is above 1,500,000 pesos, refinancing is almost certainly worth exploring. On a 3,000,000 peso loan at 7.50%, switching to 5.99% could save you more than 4,850 pesos every single month — that's real money back in your pocket, month after month. Owners of units in comparable Metro Manila developments like Two Serendra in BGC are already making this move.

Common questions
Yes — refinancing is specifically for existing loans that are already being repaid. As long as your loan is at least one to two years old, your remaining balance is above 1,500,000 pesos, and you have a good repayment history, you are likely eligible to refinance with a new bank at a lower rate. Nook will assess your situation and match you with the best available offer at no cost to you.
Most major Philippine banks accept condo refinancing in established Metro Manila developments like SMDC Green Residences, including BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Security Bank, RCBC, and UnionBank, among others. The specific approval will depend on your loan balance, income, and credit profile. Nook submits your application to multiple lenders simultaneously so you can compare real offers side by side.
The typical refinancing process takes between 30 and 60 days from application to loan release, depending on the bank and how quickly documents are submitted. Nook streamlines this by guiding you through each step and coordinating directly with lenders on your behalf. Most borrowers find the process significantly faster and less stressful when working through a broker.
Nook's service is completely free to borrowers — we are compensated by the bank once your loan is approved, not by you. There are standard third-party costs involved in any refinancing, such as transfer of mortgage fees and appraisal fees, but these are typically recovered within a few months of savings. Nook will give you a full cost-benefit breakdown before you commit to anything.
You'll typically need your latest Statement of Account from your current bank, a copy of your Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT), proof of income such as payslips or ITR, a valid government ID, and your latest tax declaration. Nook will provide you with a complete document checklist tailored to your situation once you begin your application. Getting started takes just a few minutes online.
