Rising interest rates a major concern for property investors in 2023

Asking help from bank lenders will be challenging this year.

The increase in interest rates is seen to be a major concern for investors as they review their options in 2023, Savills said in its report.

In the short term, finance from traditional bank lenders is projected to be challenging as they will need to evaluate risk, which will provide for bank lenders who are able to fill the gap with enhanced returns.

To curb the potential of accrued borrowing, the government imposed cooling measures such as the TSDR framework which is applied to private and public properties.

The TDSR for private properties is set at 60%, meaning that borrowers can only take on a mortgage that does not exceed 60% of their gross monthly income.

The government also has a Loan-to-Value (LTV) framework in place, which limits the amount of loan that a borrower can take on based on the value of the property. The LTV limit for a first-time borrower is set at 80% and subsequent borrowers at 75%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
