Asked by
We are both PR for more than 3 years and eligible to buy resale flat.

We both have existing personal loans totaling around $1000 regular monthly payments + another 15K credit balance to be paid back by end of the year (minimum payment $300 per month)

We are earning 7.7K fixed monthly salary together.

Now the question is what is my TDSR and MSR if I want to purchase an HDB resale flat? Some agents said both together are capped at a total 30% when purchasing resale HDB flat and only private property will give me 60% TDSR.

However my own research shows TDSR is 60% including the 30% MSR for HDB resale flats (for fixed income earners). Please help to clarify.

Good afternoon Sreekanth,

For mortgage calculation for resale HDB purchase, it will be based on 30% MSR and max loan tenure of 25 years.

MSR will be based on your fixed income unlike TDSR which will take into consideration of your debt.

It will be best for my bankers to advise on this professionally so you will have a better idea how much can both of you loan based on your combined income.

Hi Sreekanth,

For resale HDB purchase for SPRs, you can only take bank loan and you must fulfil both TDSR 60% and MSR 30% requirements, and the bank loan will be computed accordingly.

As their respective names suggest, do note TDSR of 60% is for all your total debt obligations, whereas MSR of 30% is only about housing mortgage obligations.

To get an indicative loan amount, its best if I can get my banking partners to assist. Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans further.

Warm Regards,

Hi Sreekanth,

You have done the right thing by understanding your finance before you embark in your purchase of a HDB flat.

It would be necessary to get an IPA (In-principle-approval) on your loan quantum. This is in fact, within the scope of a banker to advise on the quantum of the loan.

I suggest you speak to the banker for an IPA. You may call or email to gavin.ng@orangetee.com if you need a referral for the mobile bankers.

As I have supported a fair number of SPR/SPR in their buying of HDB flats, you may contact 9620 0827  for a chat or email your enquiry gavin.ng@orangetee.com.

Evening,

MSR, mortgage servicing ratio is the ratio on cash top-up on your mortgage, based on your monthly income.
TDSR, total debt servicing ratio is the ratio of total debt which you are paying by cash monthly.
If your MSR falls within 30% but exceeded 60% of the TDSR, the among of loan you will be eligible for will be lower. This is done to reduce your TDSR ratio.

Do feel free to contact me for detail discussion.
