SORA fluctuates on a daily basis, so if you re-taking a housing loan with your interest rate pegged to SORA, your loan repayments will change too. |

It is valid for 30 days from approval date. A home loan IPA is an approved loan amount based on the affordability of the borrower. However, it is not a binding document, and the final loan is subject to the property purchase price, valuation and other checks.
For your first property loan, the minimum downpayment is 25% of the purchase price, of which 5% must be paid in cash. The balance can be paid using your CPF savings.
The monthly instalment amount will be debited from your DBS loan servicing account on each due date. If you plan to use CPF to service your monthly instalment, inform your lawyer to set up the arrangement.
