So what does this mean for many of you out there, looking to buy a new home or first property? Well, before these new measures, your loan profile would probably look like this on a fictitious SGD1 million property:

Borrowable sum (80%): $800,000

Average market interest rate: 1.25%

Loan tenure: 30 years

Monthly repayment: $2666

At a TDSR of 60%, the borrower(s) would need to have a minimum monthly income of $4443 (after other loan and debt repayments are factored out) to qualify.

With these new measures in place since 29 June 2013, your loan profile will look quite different:

Borrowable sum (80%): $800,000

Mandated interest rate: 3.5% (at least)

Loan tenure: 30 years

Monthly repayment: $3592

A TDSR of 60% would thus require a minimum monthly income of $5987. That is of course after factoring out car loans, student loans and other debt repayments.
