Asked by
Got prior indication from bankers that I could loan up to 80% of the property I am interested.

Signed OTP and paid 5%. Later on the banks came back and said I could not take up to 80% because I only started working in this new company for about 7 months.

Big gap now since the loan amount is much smaller than plan.

What is the consequences if deal can not be fulfilled?

Thanks,

Hi Dan,

Have you only been issued with the Option To Purchase or you have already exercised the Option To Purchase at the lawyer's office?

The information you have provided is insufficient for a definite answer here. 5% could be the booking fees at a new launch project or adds up to the amount paid until the stage where you exercised the Option To Purchase in a resale arrangement.

Up to the point where you have not exercise the Option To Purcase, it is not too bad as you only stand to lose the deposit or part of it depending on type of property purchase. In the event where you have exercised the Option To Purchase at the lawyer's office, the situation is more serious. Have you spoke to any other bankers and see if they are able to come in and help?

Morning,

IPA from banks are only valid for a period of not more than 3 months and is subjected to changes when your income and credit status varies at point of loan application.
Your agent should have provided you with the appropriate advice accordingly before signing the Option.
As of now, before you have exercise the Option, you can only opt to the owner and hope that they are willing to refund you the option fee and void the OTP. Else, you will be likely to lose the Option fee if you are unable to obtain sufficient funds.

Hi Dan,

If you had gone for a developer new launch unit, and your finances does not allow you to exercise the OTP, you will have to forego the unit and forfeit 25% of the deposit that you had already paid.

It is always advisable to get an in-principle approval from a qualified banker before committing to any property purchase.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen

Hi Mr Dan

Have you paid your Stamp duty ?

Also I believe this is from resale market ?

Look for a good mortgage broker or look for other banks including Hong Leong Finance or other finance companies and see if they can grant you the loan.

Different banks have different loan criteria so you might still get your 80% loan

Best of luck

You can contact me if you need someone to speak to.
