Correction, 28 October 2026: The former EC policy article included an incomplete financing test, unsupported project-exemption descriptions and price predictions. Its quick answers, worked household example, graphics and FAQs have been withdrawn. Do not use them to establish your eligibility, borrowing capacity or an expected investment return.
A TDSR illustration was not a loan assessment
The former example described assumed combined debt payments as manageable by comparing them with a 55% TDSR threshold. It did not properly separate that calculation from the mortgage-servicing test for an EC purchase. MoneySense’s current guidance states that the 30% MSR applies to an EC where its minimum occupation period has not expired. Passing one ratio is not proof of satisfying every financing condition or obtaining a loan.
We have also removed the old claims about guaranteed price re-rating, buyer urgency and future market behaviour. Those predictions were not established by the policy announcement. This correction does not assert that every historical policy statement in the former article was false; it withdraws an unreliable combined explanation.
Use the actual project, cohort and funding documents
For an EC purchase, identify the development and relevant policy cohort before relying on a general headline. Ask for the applicable eligibility and payment documents and obtain the lender’s assessment. Do not substitute a list that leaves an exempt project unidentified for confirmation about the unit you intend to buy.
Our TDSR and MSR guide separates the borrowing tests from the household budget. The sale-to-purchase calendar helps organise funding where another home is involved. Contact Lin Xuan or Ade for banker and property-lawyer introductions if your purchase depends on a particular eligibility or disposal condition.
