Housing in Singapore is ridiculously expensive, and prices only keep increasing. Of course, we have more affordable HDBs, but although they’re more affordable than private properties, they’re still going to break your bank.
But it’s a basic necessity to have a comfortable home for you and your family to live in. And no one should be denied housing because they cannot afford it.
That’s why here at 118 Credit, we have home loans for both future HDB and private property owners to support in getting the perfect home.
What is a Housing / Mortgage Loan?
A housing loan, also known as a mortgage loan, is a loan taken in order to raise funds to purchase a property. The loan tenures are also much longer than other loans since the loan amount taken will be significantly higher.
With a home loan:
Your property is used as collateral
The loan mount granted is based on eligibility
The loan is disbursed after the downpayment is made, when you pay the remaining amount to the seller or developer
Interest is charged from the first disbursement
There are typically 2 types of home loan rates for a new home purchase / refinancing of a property:
1. Fixed rate loan packages
Anywhere from 2-5 year fixed rates, followed by a floating rate after that period ends.
2. Floating rate loan packages
There are lock-in and no lock-in options available.
Home loan package with lock-in period: *SIBOR or **SORA+ a predetermined interest rate. After the lock in period, there will be a minimum step up rate.
Home loan package without lock-in period: Prime rate + a predetermined interest rate
*SIBOR: Singapore Interbank Offered Rate
**SORA: Compounded Singapore Overnight Rate Average, administered by the Monetary Authority of Singapore
