Good afternoon,

Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TSDR) means your total monthly debt obligations (car loan, mortgage instalment etc) cannot exceed 60% of your monthly income.

Whereas Loan to Value refers to the max loan amount you can take as a percentage of valuation.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Dear Sir/Mdm,

Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) affects the loan amount you will be able to take. Under the current framework, TDSR is 60% which is to say you can only use a maximum of 60% of your income to service your monthly mortgage. This is also including your other loans for example car loan and credit card loan.

Loan to Value (LTV) represents the max percentage of loan you can take. For a private property, the LTV is 75% that is to say you can borrow up to 75% of the property's valuation.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

Hi,

Both restrictions are governized by MAS, to ensure citizens do not over spend on property.

1) Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR): is the amount you could loan for housing needs based on your monthly income.
This is to prevent over borrowing to purchase any property in Singapore.
Current rate is 75% of your monthly income. Any other loans such as car, personal, credit card installment etc will also affect the amount you intend to borrow.
However, there are other ways to increase your loan to max, i.e. 75%.

2) Loan-To-Value (LTV): This is another restriction over purchase property, such that to ensure by spending this amount it does not affect your retirement using CPF.
Thus maximum loan is 75% on the market value of the property. This also restrict the maximum withdrawal from CPF is 75% of the purchase property.
Thus there are different percentages set for 1st, 2nd, 3rd or more property.

Both LTV & TDSR are closely related. Once the percentage of LTV is fixed, such as the latest cooling measure implemented last year on 5th July 2018; reduce from 80% to 75%.
All borrower can only loan maximum to 75% of the property price based on their salary.
TDSR might indicate you can borrow >75% of the property price based on your salary, but the bank can only provide 75% of the loan based on the property price based on LTV.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Hi Mdm,

Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) and Mortgage Servicing Ratio (MSR) are ratios used to determine how much you can loan, based on certain criteria like age, income, debt and liabilities etc.

Loan-to-Value (LTV) is the ceiling of which you can loan for a property purchase. LTV is now at 75% for first property loan, which means that you can only loan up to a maximum of 75% of the property purchase/valuation price. If you already have an existing property, and wish to purchase a second property whilst taking another loan, LTV would be 45%.

For example, if your TDSR allows you to loan up to max of $1m, and the property you're planning to purchase cost $1.2m, you will only be able to loan up to max of $900k (75% of $1.2m), even though your TDSR allows you up to $1m.

Another example, if your TDSR allows you to loan $1m, and the property you're planning to purchase is $2m, you will only be able to loan max $1m even though LTV allows you to loan up to $1.5m.

I am experienced and well-versed in both private and HDB resale transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.
