* The new MAS rules impose an absolute limit of 35 years on the tenure of all loans for residential property. This will apply to loans to both individual and non-individual borrowers, as well as refinancing loans1, from 6 October 2012.2
* In addition, MAS will lower the LTV ratio for new residential property loans to borrowers who are individuals, if:
the tenure exceeds 30 years or
the loan period extends beyond the retirement age of 65 years.
For these loans, the LTV limit will be:
40% for a borrower with one or more outstanding residential property loans3 and
60% for a borrower with no outstanding residential property loan.
11 MAS will also lower the LTV ratio for residential property loans to non-individual borrowers from 50% to 40%.
