 IN PRINCIPLE APPROVAL

 IN PRINCIPLE APPROVAL

Before purchasing property in Singapore, obtaining an IN-Principle Approval (IPA)
is crucial for several reasons:
  • Protection of Option to Purchase (OTP) Fee: An IPA helps protect the OTP fee, which is a booking fee to reserve a property for purchase. If the loan application is rejected, the OTP fee is forfeited. 

  • Confidence in Property Search: With an IPA, buyers can confidently shop for properties without worrying about losing their deposit or booking fees. 

  • Avoiding Financial Surprises: An IPA provides a clear understanding of the maximum loan amount and tenure banks are willing to offer you, based on an assessment of your credit background and financial situation, helping buyers avoid unexpected financial challenges during the property   search. 

  • Competitive Market Advantage: An IPA can give buyers an edge in a competitive      market, as it shows sellers they are serious and prepared to act quickly. 

  • In summary, an IPA is a valuable tool for homebuyers in Singapore, ensuring they are financially prepared and can make informed decisions before purchasing property.
