Commercial Bank offers special Home Loans for prestigious apartments and houses
The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has tied up with some of Sri Lanka’s leading property developers to support the aspirations of Sri Lankans seeking to purchase apartments or houses at 44 popular locations in Colombo, its suburbs or in Kandy.
The Bank has announced it will provide up to 80% of the value of an apartment at competitive interest rates with flexible repayment options, and that the loans can be disbursed within a week from the date of application in cases where Tripartite Agreements exist between the Bankand the Developer.
