These figures are a guide only. The actual amount, rate, tenure, fees and approval depend on the provider and your situation.
01
What can it be used for?
Residential property: homes and private investment
Private residential financing covers homes such as condominiums and landed properties. Home-loan rules, outstanding housing loans and eligible CPF usage matter. HDB has separate requirements; do not treat HDB cash-out or eligibility as equivalent to private housing.
Commercial property: offices, retail and mixed-use
Commercial premises are assessed on approved use, value, business or rental cashflow and the borrower. Non-residential tax and CPF treatment differ from home purchases. Mixed-use shophouses need their residential and commercial portions checked separately.
Industrial property: factories and warehouses
Industrial loans need a check of approved activity, remaining lease, valuation and any lessor consents. JTC-related requirements apply to the relevant lease, not to every property automatically. An industrial unit cannot simply be assessed using retail or residential rules.
02
What does it cost?
Provider interest and charges
Check whether the rate is annual or monthly, flat or reducing-balance, and whether repayments include principal. EIR, where published, is separate from the advertised rate. Allow for processing, upfront, annual, legal, valuation and early-settlement charges where applicable.
Loura service fee
Separate from provider charges; no fee is assumed in the estimate. Your adviser confirms whether a Loura fee applies and its amount before you decide to proceed. All provider charges must be confirmed in the offer.
Purchase budget, down payment and upfront costs
Your budget includes the purchase price not covered by the approved loan, stamp duty, legal and valuation costs, and provider fees. Residential purchases may allow eligible CPF usage and may attract ABSD; non-residential transactions may involve GST instead. Keep Loura's service fee separate. Confirm the property's classification and your own tax position with a solicitor before committing.

Refinancing, equity release and bridging risks
Refinancing replaces an existing loan; repricing changes terms with the same lender. Equity release requests extra borrowing against accepted security, not automatic access to all paper equity. Bridging needs a credible repayment event and a plan if completion is delayed. Compare redemption penalties, fees and total repayment, and do not assume either savings or a completion date is guaranteed.

About these LTV figures
The LTV options are illustrative examples, not confirmed limits. For residential property, MAS sets maximum LTV limits that depend on your age, the loan tenure and how many housing loans you already have — the top 75% applies only in the most favourable case (MAS: tenure and LTV limits). Bank loans are capped at 30 years for HDB flats and 35 years for other homes, and total debt repayments are limited to 55% of gross monthly income (TDSR), with a 30% mortgage servicing limit for HDB flats and ECs (MAS: rules for new housing loans).
The highest option is not an amount you can definitely borrow. Actual financing depends on the property, the borrower, any outstanding loan and the provider’s assessment.

Illustrative estimate only, using illustrative example figures (amounts, rates, LTV and fees) — not verified provider offers, a loan offer or approval. Actual rates, fees, LTV, tenure and approval depend on the financing provider and your assessment. Provider, legal, valuation and other fees are excluded unless shown. Any Loura service fee is separate and disclosed before you decide to proceed.
03
Who may qualify?
- Residential, commercial or industrial classification
- Current balance, lock-in and redemption terms
- Valuation, lease and existing charges
- Individual income or business cashflow
Valuation, outstanding debt and who borrows
A valuation is not a guaranteed loan amount: the provider sets financing subject to applicable rules and its assessment. Existing property loans, charges, income and repayment obligations all matter. Individuals and sole proprietors can be subject to TDSR for non-residential property too. Companies generally undergo business credit assessment instead, but a vehicle set up solely to purchase property can fall within the TDSR rules. Company ownership is not an automatic exemption.
04
Documents
No documents are needed for the initial enquiry.
- Current mortgage statement and offer letter
- Property title and lease details
- Income or business financial records
- CPF records for relevant residential cases
- Relevant lessor consents for industrial cases
Additional documents may be requested by the financing provider depending on your case.
Documents and repayment planning
No documents are required for the first enquiry. Later, prepare purchase or ownership records, valuation details, existing loan balances and income or business records relevant to the borrower. Residential cases may need CPF records; industrial cases may need lease and use consents instead. The calculator illustrates equal monthly repayments at a constant customer-entered rate, excluding fees, rate changes and bridging repayment structures.

Frequently asked questions
How much down payment will I need?
It is the part of the purchase price not financed, with any required cash portion assessed separately. Applicable home-loan limits, your existing housing loans and eligible CPF usage affect the split. Confirm it before signing a purchase commitment.
Can I refinance while still in a lock-in?
A switch may involve early-redemption penalties or subsidy clawbacks. Compare these with the full cost of the new package and the option of repricing; a lower headline rate does not guarantee savings.
Does a commercial refinance use home-loan rules?
No. Confirm approved use and borrower type before applying any requirements. Industrial leases may add lessor conditions, while residential cases may involve CPF and housing-loan rules.
Does a valuation guarantee the loan amount?
No. The provider also assesses income, existing debt, tenure and relevant regulatory limits. It may approve less than the property's apparent equity.
Do I need documents or a credit check to enquire?
No documents are required for this initial enquiry. If you proceed to a provider assessment, income, property and credit records may be required. An enquiry is not a lender application or approval.
Want to know your options?
Start with a short enquiry. No documents are required initially; approval and final terms are decided by the provider.
