The general rule of thumb is that the value of the property that you purchase should cost no more than 3 times of your annual household income.
The monthly loan repayment should not exceed 1/3 of your gross monthly income.
The financial institution will also take into account your other liabilities including credit cards, hire purchase loans and/ or personal loans.
You may proceed to use the Loan calculator on our Home page for you to calculate your monthly repayment when you are considering to purchase a property.
The financial institution requires a valuation if you are buying a completed property to provide an indication the property is worth what you are paying for.
In general, you will need the following documents when applying for your loan (not exhaustive):-
If you are a salaried employee:
(a) Letter of appointment (for new employee);
(b) Latest three months’ salary slip;
(c) Latest three months’ bank statements to show the salary credited;
