Regardless of whether you are opting for an HDB or bank loan, our Mortgage Experts can guide you through the home loan application process. The cherry on top, you won't pay a dime for their support.

HDB home loans

There are various available options when seeking out the best home loan interest rates to finance HDB flats. If either you or your spouse is Singaporean, you can apply for HDB's housing loan which has a lower cash downpayment requirement and a higher LTV of 85%. Qualifying for an HDB loan, however, comes with various requirements, such as not exceeding the maximum household income limit and not having any private or commercial properties under your name.

HDB housing loan's interest rate of 2.6% is calculated by taking the current CPF Ordinary Account (OA) interest rate and adding 0.1% to it. As such, in theory, interest rate for HDB's housing loan can change if the OA interest rate changes (but it is no secret that OA interest rates have remained stable).

Taking a bank loan can potentially be more attractive, given the more competitive interest rates and wide options of packages to pick from. Should you be interested in taking up a bank home loan, find the best home loan interest rates for your HDB flat on PropertyGuru. Now that we have helped you better understand HDB home loans and the plethora of bank loans available in Singapore, you are well-equipped to select the best home loan for your needs. Regardless of whether you are opting for an HDB or bank loan, here are some steps to guide you through the home loan application process. Alternatively, speak to our Mortgage Experts for help.

Three simple steps to get your preferred bank home loan approved

Image step 1

Calculating Your Maximum Loan Amount

The maximum amount you can borrow from the bank to pay for your property is determined by calculating your Total Debt Serving Ratio (TDSR) or Mortgage Servicing Ratio (MSR). These can be calculated using PropertyGuru's linked mortgage calculators.
Image step 2

Obtain Your In-Principle Approval (IPA)

Much like the HLE, the IPA is a written documentation issued by the bank stating and documenting the maximum amount of home loan you can take to purchase your property.
Image step 3

Applying for the Home Loan

Upon receiving the IPA, home buyers have up to 30 days to pay the OTP before the IPA expires. Thereafter, the OTP is valid for 21 days for home buyers to make the relevant down payment and obtain approval for the preferred bank loan to take effect.

How to choose a home loan?

Choosing the Best Home Loan Interest Rates
KEY CONSIDERATIONS

Choosing the Best Home Loan Interest Rates

If you are browsing this page, you are probably wondering, “Which home loan is the best for me?”. Decoding the technical home loan jargon and comparing the numerous packages and interest rates offered by the various banks in Singapore can be time-consuming and tedious. Not sure where to start? Begin by understanding the different types of home loans available to you and mortgage terminology used.
With so many banks offering different home loan packages, choosing the right home loan rates can be hard. When assessing the right package for you, consider:
If a fixed interest rate or floating interest rate is preferable for you
The duration of the lock-in period
If there is any waiver of redemption payable if the property is sold during the lock-in period
If there is any free conversion within or at the end of the lock-in period
Regardless of whether you are going for an HDB home loan or bank loan, deciding on a mortgage is entirely dependent on your financial capabilities and risk profile. If you are leaning towards a home loan with lower risk, HDB's housing loan with a fixed rate of 2.6% may be for you. If you have the appetite for some financial risks and have the financial discipline to review and refinance your housing loan once every couple of years, bank loans may be a viable option for you.

As every housing situation is unique, consider speaking to one of our Mortgage Experts to get your situation assessed and receive tailored advice at no added cost.
