Hi Gurus,

My Wife and I are interested in purchasing a private condo unit at around $1.2M.

We have cash on hand around $100K and $500K in combined OA accounts. We just sold our flat and now staying with my in-laws. We only have a car loan with monthly installment at $1.5K with 4 years left to service.

Annual combined income at around $183K. Are we eligible for up to 70-80% bank loan after paying down payment with cash/CPF?

Do you think we are in a acceptably good shape financially to go with the purchase? Thanks in advance for all the kind advise!

Happy new year to you, buyer.

Looking at the finances on hand with your annual combined income, I think you are good to go ahead with your property purchase.

If not, it will be better to speak to my banker/s first so he/ she can advise you on your in principle approval (loan amount) and different loan packages.

With the amount in your CPF OA amount, you might want to consider reducing the loan quatnum if you want to.

Do contact me if you need further assistance or advice in your property purchase. Cheers!

Good day and Thank you for your query.

Please find the estimated cash flow for $1.2mil first property purchase by Singapore Citizen 35 years of age as following:
5% Cash: $60k
15% + BSD + Legal Fee from CPF OA: $215k
*If both PR, add 5% or $60k more for ABSD

Minimum Salary required for 80% Loan to Value with $1.5k monthly car loan repayment: $9,700 monthly
*The estimated salary required will increase if age of borrower is older than 35 years old and the loan tenure preferred is shorter.

Please do consult with a banker to get Approval In Principal (AIP) before making any purchase decision. Many agents here can recommend tried and trusted bankers and the required documents can be submitted via email for bankers to process the AIP within 2-3 working days.

You may like to know that private property buyers do not need to pay commission to agents to secure their desired units. Hence, it is highly recommended to engage one you are most comfortable with to have access to huge database, resources and ensure smooth buying process.

As we do not get prompted when you respond here, kindly contact us directly should you require additional information.

Thank you and have a pleasant week ahead.

Warm Regards,

Hi,

Your finances look promising to getting you your maximum 80% loan. Go get the exact figure, you would have to speak to a banker. Do u have a banker in mind or I could refer you to have an IPA done at no fee. With your loan quantum and exact finances, I could draft out the financial compitstions and progressive payment with timeline to illustrate the exact payment details. Following that, we could focus on the properties in line with your requirements, preferences and finances.

I will walk you through the entire process from shortlisting the unit, to proposing unit layouts, establishing financial / loan technicalities, admin and legal matters and beyond. Furthermore, there is no agent fees involved. Do contact me for a non obligatory discussion to walk you through this procedure step by step , with utmost professionalism.

Hi,
Basing on your statement, there shouldn't be a problem for you to get 80% housing loan. However, the best and better person to confirm this would be the banker. Normally before buying a house, I will recommend my buyer a banker for him to assess on the buyer's financial situation. The buyer will also able to get an In-Principal-Approval (IPA) from the banker, which more or less a secured loan amount from the banker which the bank can loan you for your house purchase.
This will leave you with no worry during the house searching, knowing for sure you already have in mind your loan amount. Let me know if you need any assistance or help, I can arrange a banker to contact you. Feel free to call me or write to me if you have any questions. I would be glad to help you as well in your new house searching.

Kind Regards

Dear prospective buyer,

I would say that to be in better position on assessment of your financial health for making a real estate purchase, you should speak to the banker direct since they are the professionals in this domain. If you are unsure of the interest rates and packages for various banks, you may wish to speak to a mortgage broker for advise as they have updated information on the loan packages and rates.

I am marketing a 2 bedrooms apartment along East Coast Road which is currently tenanted. Nice freehold apartment with plenty of amenities nearby.
