      tankee:
      is there a cap to the amount any bank can lend out for a property?


      like 80% of evaluation, etc?
      Yes, there is a statutory MAS cap and internal an internal cap based on their view of the value of the property and general conditions of the market.

        there is also a cap on he loan tenure based on the age of the prop for 99LH. Somehow, this does not seem to aply for HDB.


        :?

          The cap on loan tenure is dependent on the age of the borrowers at the time of borrowing.

            in that case, how would the bishan & strathmore buyers expect their bank to ever approve their loans? :? unless they have ready cash of $200k or more to cover the COV and the shortfall in loan. :?

                Of course have cap on amount. I was answering Nebbermind's query on the loan tenure. Your question was already answered by 3Boys.

                  :idea: so perhaps the so-called record sales are just some publicity stunts or politically motivated? :?
