With this new ruling, Yowetan should be hit hardest???

Ringo33
06-10-12, 09:29
Actually I think Yowetan might be in trouble liao. Based on what he said previously, he will face problem refinance his FV property unless he has the money to bring down the LTV from 90% to 60%. So by time his existing loan hit year 3 or 4, interest rate is going to jump significantly and he will be at the bank mercy to accept their repricing package.



My current HDB flat has an outstanding loan of 450k approximately. The loan is from SCB @ 0.65+Sibor rate.

The second loan as mentioned will be based on the 90% of the purchased price, at the rate of Sibor+SOR combination with base rate of 0.40%.

He has no problems with his loans. You have to read his post that you can figure out. Not just 1 off statements he made. This is true as long as he is still with his current job.

I would be very surprise if banks doesnt tighten up their staffs lending LTV after this announcement, especially if the loan tenure is beyond 30 or 35 years.

At the moment if he take up a 2nd loan with more than 30 years tenure, he will have to pay 60% down payment. So my question is, why would the bank need to offer him 50% LTV mortgage incentive just because be is a staff? wont that be creating subprime within the organization?

No sub prime lah issue. Home loan to staff is just a drop in the ocean compared to entire home loan. Banks have very stringent criteria to join them and also remain in the banking industry, I wrong move like- bankruptcy, jail, etc. and they can no longer work in the financial institution.

Btw, I do not work in the bank.

It's been like this for so many years. Many of my friends are bankers. including my own sister. 100% sure they can get 90%LTV plus attractive staff rates. Even their normal saving accounts are at 1% p.a. staff rate

Hi All. Thanks for the concern. I appreciate all of your kind intention and attention.

I am also caught by surprise last night when I was browsing propertyguru for D05 properties - Hundred trees, Botannia, The Parc condominium, The Sorrento and Carabella.

My wife actually warned me of it when she caught the news in the Yahoo Website.

As of moment, there is nothing I can do. I will double check and confirm with my company HR on the consequences trigger by the MAS.

I am surprise if the recent CM policy of restricting loan quantum does not apply to all as there is exception from bank staff? Isn't this an unfair policy?

Think for those who want to circumvert the recent CM policy should quickly join the banking sector then ?....:scared-5:

MAS policies ultimately is driven by risk management. Like someone said before, bank staff loan privileges are just a drop in the ocean and doesn't affect the risk environment much, just Maris Stella, or Stilla Maris.

If the purpose of CM is for risk management isn't it important for everyone including those in the banking sector to be subjected to the same loan restriction? With the slow down in economy, what if some banking staff get retrenched? Won't this excessive LTV of 90% for banking staff be withdrawn and cause some impact?

NO, its not the same. 90%LTV will give you the opportunity to buy a 1m pty with just 100K, while under normal circumstance, you would need 200K.

You don't have to worry as long as yr S&P or Option is signed before the 6 Oct 12. It doesn't matter if you still haven't taken up bank loan. The CM is not dependent on date of Bank LO but date of S&P/option.

see small print on MAS website


2 The rules will apply to new loans granted to individuals and non-individual borrowers, by financial institutions regulated by MAS, for the purchase of residential property, if the date when the option to purchase was granted or, where there is no option to purchase, the date of the sale and purchase agreement, is on or after 6 October 2012. For re-financing facilities, the rules will apply where the application date of such facilities is on or after 6 October 2012.

yes, the FV will be the killer because 90%LTV and god knows how many years loan he took. Considering their age and appetite for risk, I reckon it will be easily 35 years and above, For the next 2 to 3 years, when BUC it will be fine, but come year 3 or 4, when interest rates goes up, it will be tricky, because any other bank he goes to for refinancing will require him to top up at least 30% due to his outstanding HDB loan.

And he and his wife better not lose their job with their existing bank.

I believe he has taken his loan prior to this announcement and I have reason to believe that his loan will be most than 35 years. At 90%, if you shorten the tenure from say 35 to 27, the jump will be pretty big for a household with combine income of around 7K to feed the entire family.

The only reason for LTV 90% is to free up cash or reserve for higher return and liquid investment.

his first problem is buy an expensive Tiong Bahru HDB flat to end up with massive loan amount of 500k, luckily not 1m like the crazy fellow in Queenstown

then he up his debt to crazy level relative to his income after buying FV

Morgan Stanley in the making, a 10% drop in property price will wipe out his family ... ok HDB will be more kind to him ;)

In his desire to earn big bucks, he is doing all this. I am not about to pass judgement if it is right or wrong.

My dad did 2 jobs (yes, one was driving taxi at nite) to get us a house and put food on the table and I respected him for this.

His HDB loan can be fully covered by their family cpf. furthermore, once the FV is up, the hdb can be rented and the rental use to finance partly the FV mortgage payment.

Yup come to think about it, he should be safe as nothing has changed for him (except that he has to probably give up thinking of owning D5 condo).
He still gets his 90% loan.
It will only hit him hard if in future, he no longer works in the bank and wants to refinance his loan.

nah, the sharing and loving should starts in the family. How on earth can you say that you are sharing and caring when all he did was to seek financing assistance from his company, parents and PIL to the extend that he is conditioning them that if they fall sick or get old, i will throw you at hospital and let the government take care of you.

This is the latest reply from MAS on the loans to bank staff

"We would like to update you that MAS has removed the exemption granted to residential property loans given by financial institutions to their staff for the purchase of a residential property for staff occupation. The removal takes effect from 6 October 2012. "

Chiaberry knew it...see the last post....

Will it affect existing staff loan?
If it does, then poor yowetan.

If not, then no wonder he quickly grabbed FV.

by now, u have alr exercised the option if not wrong.
The latest circular is based on the date of OTP, u may or may not be affected depends on your bank. Look like your chance of staff loan is slim.

I fired my banker yesterday on the last minutes of withdrawal of legal subsidy even they promised earlier. It was a last minutes decision from bank.

it could be a blessing in disguise ... 90% loan is very risky .. if property market corrects by 30%, banks may ask u to top up, be it staff or not

I am sure Mr Tan cannot get the staff loan :

I am also as confused as Laguna regarding your reply.

Dear yowetan, please clarify:

If you have exercised the option, it means you have signed the sales and purchase agreement, ie you have already paid the remaining 15% and you have signed the S&P in addition to the 5% booking fee when you signed the OTP.

When you have exercised the option to purchase, there is no turning back.

If you give up, means you have to sell the unit and incur the 4 y SSD.

Good luck to you.

if resale, i know that exercise means binding. if cant pay, and wanna break contract, will be sued. how much? it depends. say original price was $1m. but all this waiting and market down, so 3mths later can only sell at $800k, so the original buyer who backed out will be sued at least $200k (the difference) and plus other fees. very complicated one... which only chestnut and blackjack21trader can figure out using their 3rd eye

Hi Butter I have no idea about that too - like a curved ball from nowhere. I was just expressing my views or non-views most innocuously, just like most other people here are, in an online forum and was then slapped with such a strange and potentially controversial question.
seems like we are not allowed to have a view that is unpleasing to the majority here.


Why do you think so about Emma?

Ringo33
10-10-12, 18:36
Here is the standard payment schedule

1st Payment

a) Obtaining Option to Purchase (5%) - Usually happen at showflat when you agree to buy.

b) On Signing of Agreement for S&P (aka exercise option) (15%)

Between a and b is usually 8 weeks and by week 1 or 2, you will received the official S&P through developer lawyer. And chances are before you exercise your S&P you should already engage a lawyer as well as decided on which bank unless you want to pay for your own legal cost.

The penalty for not exercising the S&P before the dateline is 25% of the 5%, which work out to 1.25% of the purchase price.

Since Yowetan told us that he took a 90% loan to finance FV, he should have already start drawing down from the bank and CPF to pay for the balance 15% as well as stamp duty. I am not sure if he took a partial term/short term loan and partial home loan or full 90% home loan.

If its the former then there is a good chance that he might not be able to get financing for the property unless he have cash to folk out the difference in down payment. If thats the situation, then I think he might ask his PIL or parents to sell away their HDB to rescue him.

For purchase direct from developer is like that:

Sign OTP - pay 5% purchase price.
14 days later S&P delivered to you by developer.
Option will expire 3 weeks after the delivery date.

Exercise the option within the 3 weeks.(that means 5 weeks after signing OTP).

Pay the remainder 15% of purchase price within 8 weeks of signing the OTP.

This 20% must be made in cash. Cannot take from CPF.

Once the above is done, the option is exercised and the sale has gone through.

In yowetan's case I think he paid the 5% booking fee, then paid another 5% using his own money, then the extra 10%- bank paid for him?
Hey if so, then the rest of the loan would have been approved what!!!

Doesn't make sense at all......cos he said he exercised the option already.

My recently bought Flamingo Valley probably still stays at 1.57+mil SGD now.

3 weeks ago:
Hi. Yes. I am going to have that in plan. This is why I am doing all these to pool my resources as follows:

1. My HDB Tiong Bahru Rental forecast - 3k to 3.5KSGD.
2. My parents Rental as of now (5 room HDB) - 3.2kSGD.
3. My in-laws rental as of now (Mansionette) - 3.5kSGD.
4. Household combined income (myself and my wife) - 7k+ SGD.
5. Part time relief taxi driving (Thurs, Fri, Sat) - 1k+ SGD.

Propsective plan for my bro-in-law; I am planning to get him a Single's HDB flat, and rent one room out for around 500-700SGD. This is legal as he is not renting out his whole unit but a room. His employment income is around 1.4-1.8kSGD per month. If I can help him to get 4 room and above, we can potentially lease out 2 bedrooms + 1 living area which can be of total rental income of 1k to 1.5kSGD

Therefore our total income would be approximately 18k++SGD and max of 20k++SGD.

We will all live in Flamingo Valley, and make full use of it's facilities and ERL and EWL in future.

I think he is now very busy in driving taxi and got big headache for the loan.

if can't get loan, just forgo the money spent on the OTP. hope his parents and in-laws haven't sold their HDB to fund this nightmare

For purchase direct from developer is like that:

Sign OTP - pay 5% purchase price.
14 days later S&P delivered to you by developer.
Option will expire 3 weeks after the delivery date.

Exercise the option within the 3 weeks.(that means 5 weeks after signing OTP).

Pay the remainder 15% of purchase price within 8 weeks of signing the OTP.

This 20% must be made in cash. Cannot take from CPF.

Once the above is done, the option is exercised and the sale has gone through.

In yowetan's case I think he paid the 5% booking fee, then paid another 5% using his own money, then the extra 10%- bank paid for him?
Hey if so, then the rest of the loan would have been approved what!!!

Doesn't make sense at all......cos he said he exercised the option already.
I think he is ok lah.
His loan would have been approved.
The more I think the more confused I get.
Don't want to think anymore!

May be he paid the addition 10% first and waiting for his bank reimbursement after loan approved :simmering: .

Very well said, Emma. He has his own karma to bear (from his own actions and doings) while we have ours to take care. If we start to interfere in his life, we intergrate him into our karma and become partially responsible for his life.

Regardless he is for real or ficticious (which i am really unsure), I dont think its right for us to harbour ill thoughts or wish harm upon "anyone".

Many bros and sis have started off giving their advices out of kindness but if his thoughts and decisions ultimately do not align with ours, we shld just leave it.

Hi. Thanks for your kind concern over my case. Appreciate that.

I like to say "Not everyone who knows will made known to other THAT he/she knows".

FYI, I can write chinese , read chinese and was a Chinese club president in my school days. I could have use my window EN to CH to flower my posts with chinese poems and proverbs. Having said that, is there a need?

Yes, it's really poor form to harbour ill will on anyone and irks me that sometimes people come across as rubbing their hands in glee waiting for the drama to unfold (not in reference to anyone in particular but that's the general feel i get when i read the forums sometimes). we may not mean it to come across this way but the person on the receiving end of this will feel hurt.
sometimes we just have accept that everyone is different and unless you have walked a mile in someone's shoes, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones and be too quick to pass judgement.

Bro Yowetan, I am indeed glad you have found a solution. You have ask me what it takes to be successful. I do not consider myself successful, but I can provide some pointers which you may use. Not all may be relevant but choose those that suit you OK. BTW, this will take a long time to read. because when i talk about such topics, it takes hrs, but I will condense and we can discuss more a long the way. bros and sis, if you read, please dont hamtam me, I will not respond to those who hamtam me. IF you want to share, we share. And I am really sharing OK, not preaching. This is taking a lot out of me because people will say I hau lian. And please no insults intended in this - just observations from me.

1. Earn more. why?
If you earn say $3k per month. say you save 2K. after 1 yr, you save 24k. after 10 yrs, 240K. (lets assume salary stay flat for pure discussion sake-if not I have to take out my calculator and do compounding). After 10 years, you can only afford downpayment. You will need to slot some more.
If say you earn 10K and save 6K per month. After 3 years you would have saved 210K(round off). That will get you started already.

2. You seem to say it so easy, but how do I earn more?
- Upgrade your skills.
- Have knowledge that your company really desires and will need you.
- This is very important - have EQ, read up tons of books to understand the human behaviour and master the art of readng body language.
- have a good relationship with your boss or superior - not to the extend of tripod. But if the huge pay increase depends on this, you just need to decide is this within u? If not, move on and look for another job.
- Know something that others do not know and master that skill such that the boss/superior will need to turn to you instead of others when he needs such a skill

3. Once you have done the above, you can easily look around and command a decent salary.

4. Go to an industry that pays well. Easy said then done right. Nobody ever said it was easy when it comes to money. So why to people pay well for a doctor, lawyer, sales, high end engineer???

5. If you cannot study, then go into a skill which pays well.

6. Do the job you love or do the job that pays well?
You have to choose. Is it money u want or is it love? if you happen to find it in both, you sure are a whole lucky and you will succeed. If it is money you want, tell your brain to love the job, over time, your brain will be tuned to that. But if you dread going to work, your brain has failed you and you better look for another job.

7. The job is for your to save money so that you can start investing and plan for retirement. The age of golden rice bowl is over. Anyone who cannot keep up with todays fast pace of life will be left out. In the past, no handphone. Companies need to fax you when they want to get you when you are overseas on biz trip. today - iphone, ipad, cloud, push mail... all the information is available. Thats why we get burn out.

So just imagine a person earning 30K a month and saves 20K a month. In a year, he would have 240K for downpayment for a house right?

Not many people are going to earn that kind of pay, but thats why the rich are getting richer.

So please dare to dream but more importantly, dare to make the dream a reality. I dreamed and the dream came true.

I am not rich, but I am definitely above middle class. The definition of rich is subjective. But this I do dare say, I am rich in :
- knowledge
- skills
- happiness
- sharing
- care for other
- wishing for others to be successful

If you have a good heart, good things will befall you. If you wish for bad things to happen to others so you can be more successful, your life will be filled with sadness. To me happiness is richness in the heart.

If you find this post too much for you to swallow and you fill like puking, go ahead. But please dont throw insult at me. Trust me, it took a lot out of me to do this and I am sincerely doing this because someone wants to climb up but have not found some form of guidance.
And a very happy Friday to all of you.

Brothers got noticed many car doors got dents bo? I once saw a cheap car driver purposely swung her door against a BMW. Now, she can say it's unintentionally, but the door was purposely opened very wide to scratch the BMW.

While I was there in my lamborghini opposite the incident, suddenly I have a vision! The whole windscreen infront playback like a video screen, you know what I saw ?

I saw her son buying this same BMW 10 years later, with all the dents made covered in new coat of paint ! and that BMW driver driving a lamborghini !!! WAHLAUEH.....retribution ! Have a good heart la, see all the mercs and bimmers on the road, all got dents one :(

Bro, Lambo very temperamental hor. I understand it is harder to drive then the horse.

You damn lucky can drive the car. Me, my wife tell me to dream on. Porsche already she tell me cannot - she scared mei mei come to me. Because I actually quite good looking. Jokes aside. I fly, the SQ girls also chat me up. But that was 10 years ago lah. So she say, the best you can drive is a 4 seater cabrio. So LL, went sourcing for Merc E, Audi A6, Lexus IS250C. People ask me, hey why u never consider BMW - Wah piang, all my previous cars also I never test drive BM? Must be not fated.
So to cut the story short. You have hearing problem or not? You need ear plugs? Some people say it is music but hor, I have hearing problem everytime I get out of ferrari. Bro, I not joling huh... Serious... You got hearing problem or not? Please dont hamtam me OK
:cheers3: TGIF, thats what I will be doing tonite. All boys nite out.

u may think i talk cork sing song. but I remember watching Discovery channel, that the vodoo magic is actually a kind of drug undiscovered by medical science yet used on the target victim la.

You know you are very humorous. Everytime I read your post, I laugh a lot. I show my wifey, and she also laugh at your sense of your humor. She lauged when she saw the pi po pi po.

Take care bro. No hard feelings OK. And yes, I do believe in voodoo because I have seen it happening. Its all up to you. But dont play play.:doh:

Yes, brother chestnut is very correct. now, let me carry his, his.....his............b....b...................b.....bbbbb......ba................his points further and add this simple example:

Brothers got noticed many car doors got dents bo? I once saw a cheap car driver purposely swung her door against a BMW. Now, she can say it's unintentionally, but the door was purposely opened very wide to scratch the BMW.

While I was there in my lamborghini opposite the incident, suddenly I have a vision! The whole windscreen infront playback like a video screen, you know what I saw ?

I saw her son buying this same BMW 10 years later, with all the dents made covered in new coat of paint ! and that BMW driver driving a lamborghini !!! WAHLAUEH.....retribution ! Have a good heart la, see all the mercs and bimmers on the road, all got dents one :(

I also had a vision while sitting on the back seat of a bus traveling from EAST to WEST feeling the heat on by backside. feeling irate, While I see many people jostle and move from back to front and some irritating uncle pressing the bell every 1min to irritate the whole bus passengers.....

u noe wat!!! I realized that one day I might end up like the uncle if I dont participate in the national growth hobby. I will be old and bore and the only entertainment I get is to catch a buys and irritate the shit out of the every passenger in the morning and pissing of the china uncle driver. Only thing I feel is I have the power to piss the driver and many passenger off.

hah hah...

So moral of the story pls participate in the growth!!!! If not beg for someone to sponsor a Private Condo.!

unfortunately yellow is not my color.... if not I will have ask for a lambo.

I think from all the previous threads, forummers have also advise on the need to get a well paying job. Of course, this does not seem to be taken positively. Then more and more schemes were revealed which does not sit well with most people.

I am one that is watching for the drama to unfold. Until now, I still don't think he is for real. And like I have said in many posts, it does not really matter... at least for me, I am indifferent whether he succeed or not.

Anyway, Yowetan, if you are for real, you are damn steady!

Actually I think Yowetan might be in trouble liao. Based on what he said previously, he will face problem refinance his FV property unless he has the money to bring down the LTV from 90% to 60%. So by time his existing loan hit year 3 or 4, interest rate is going to jump significantly and he will be at the bank mercy to accept their repricing package.

me slow here..

the max can loan is 60% is it?

Yowetan has an outstanding loan, so he needs to fulfill 2 criteria in order to get 60% LTV :

1. loan tenure does not exceed 30 years
and
2.it does not extend beyond the age of 65 years old.

one more important one is debt servicing ratio...
with household income of S7,000, and outstanding loan of $450,000, unlikely he can get a loan at 60% LTV
