Refinanced an Exclusive Bungalow in Sentosa Cove

Rikvin Capital provides client with a higher LTV on his property

An individual found themselves in a bit of a bind when they needed working capital for their business. Unfortunately, they had already maxed out their Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) and were unable to borrow from a bank. The individual owned an exclusive bungalow in Sentosa Cove, which was already mortgaged at a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 50%.

That’s when they approached Rikvin Capital for help. After completing the necessary property valuation and due diligence checks, Rikvin Capital was able to offer the individual a loan at a more favorable LTV ratio of 65%. This meant that the individual was able to cash out the 15% difference in LTV, which they used for business expansions.

Eight months later, the individual was able to settle the loan with Rikvin Capital. Thanks to Rikvin Capital’s flexible lending solutions, the individual was able to overcome their financial difficulties and continue growing their business.

FAQ

My bank is at maximum loan-to-value due to TDSR. Can you lend more against the same property?

Yes. The Sentosa Cove case here refinanced from a bank at 50% loan-to-value to Rikvin Capital at 65%, releasing the 15% difference (around $1.7 million) in cash for the borrower's business. We are not bound by TDSR, so we look at the property value and exit rather than your monthly income.

What loan-to-value can I get on a Sentosa Cove bungalow?

Up to around 65 to 70% of valuation on prime Sentosa Cove residential. The case here closed at 65% ($7.5 million on a $11.5 million bungalow), with rolled-up interest paid at the end of the 8-month term so the borrower had no monthly servicing.

Can I roll up interest and pay it all at the end?

Yes. Rolled-up interest means no monthly cost. The full interest amount is added to the loan and settled at the end of the term. The Sentosa Cove borrower used this so all the released equity went straight into business expansion rather than being eaten up by monthly interest.
