What is the Loan to Value (LTV)?
The loan-to-value (LTV) limit determines the maximum amount an individual can borrow from a financial institution (FI) for a housing loan.
LTV refers to the loan amount as a percentage of the property’s value. For example, if an individual borrows $750,000 to purchase a property valued at $1,000,000, the LTV is 75%.
It was announced on 5 July 2018 that LTV limits will be tightened as part of a package of measures to cool the property market and keep price increases in line with economic fundamentals.
LTV Limits for Shell Companies
If the borrower is a shell company or not an individual, the LTV limit is 15%.
For more information, please refer to the MAS website at Loan Tenure and Loan-To-Value Limits.
