Unlike buying a car previously, once default the most kena tow back.Mortgage loan application require one to fill in present financial liabilities and earning capability. Just compare the cash inflow and outflow rates, bank can tell immediately your 'standing'.In more secured way as what i did in the few past instances, i sticked to UOB, because i have cash in the account 'par par' for them to see. They approved immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

9tails 2 Report post Posted September 26, 2013 The banks might take into consideration on your other outstanding loans, in order to assess your capability to service the housing loan. Depends on the ratio, but try not to take too much loan for such purposes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
