What is an HDB Loan?
An HDB loan is a loan you take to purchase your HDB flat. Unlike a private bank loan, which is used for buying private properties, an HDB loan can finance up to 90% of your flat’s valuation or price, whichever is higher.
So for when you’re buying a flat worth S$400,000, an HDB home loan can finance up to S$360,000 of the flat price. The remaining 10% (S$40,000 in this case) has to come from you either in the form of cash, or your CPF Ordinary Account (CPF OA) or both.

First home purchase was made easier with Home Loan Whiz. Great rates, but more importantly the education by the team on loan details was a strong plus factor. Not everyone is a finance expert, and it was easy and detailed from him.
After the bank loan was confirmed, good followup to check that everything is well with the banker and lawyer.
Overall, I strongly recommend!

I was served by Lorraine Lee and she was very patient with my queries and clarified them all. Not only that, she helped me to secure a good rate whilst the rate is changing almost everyday during that period.
Appreciated her initiative and I even recommended my friends to her.
