Bank In-Principle Approval (IPA) — Why It Is Critical Before Booking
An official conditional loan pre-assessment from major Singapore banks (DBS, OCBC, UOB) establishing your indicative borrowing limits under MAS TDSR (55%) rules, safeguarding booking deposits against loan shortfalls.
New launches require a 5% cash booking fee for the OTP. If loan financing fails before expiry, <strong>25% of this deposit is legally forfeited (losing $20,000 to $50,000+)</strong>. Obtaining an In-Principle Approval (IPA) safeguards your booking deposit against borrowing shortfalls.
Balloting moves fast. An active IPA gives you maximum loan budget clarity, letting you select your preferred stack and floor level with complete confidence.
With an active IPA, banks convert your pre-approval into a formal Letter of Offer within 24–48 hours upon OTP issuance, easily beating the 3-week legal deadline.
