How to take out a “Spiti mou II” mortgage loan
How you get loan pre-approval and approval from the HDB
1. Fill in the application form
If you meet the conditions for “Spiti mou ΙΙ”, book a priority appointment at a branch near you.
Bring along the necessary supporting documents that verify your personal and financial details and we fill out the application together.
We send your application for assessment.
3. Get loan pre-approval
If you receive a pre-approval, we provide detailed information about the documents you need to submit.
You have 60 days to find the property you want to buy and bring us its electronic building ID to confirm it meets the programme conditions.
3. Request HDB approval
We send your application to the HDB to verify if:
- The funds for your inclusion in the scheme are available and can be reserved until you receive the final approval.
- The property is blocked by another beneficiary.
Once the HDB evaluation is complete, we inform you about the outcome.
4. Get HDB approval
Once you are included in the programme, the HDB reserves the budget for your eligible application.
We inform you over the phone or by text message about its decision.
As of the day your application is included in the programme, the following must be completed within 150 days:
- Engineering inspection and due diligence
- Signing of the final purchase agreement
- Signing of the loan agreement
If the deadline is not met, the application is rejected and the HDB releases the amount of the eligible application.
You can apply again, assuming there are available funds in the programme budget. Otherwise, the application is transferred to a runner-up list and is included in the programme if funds become available due to other inclusion decisions being cancelled.
