OCBC launches advisory service on property purchase

It can compute, analyse, and provide information and consultation.

OCBC Bank is the first bank in Singapore to launch an online advisory service called OCBC OneAdvisor Home that brings together everything that both first-time home buyers as well as seasoned investors would need – from property listings, policy details, rules and regulations, to comprehensive affordability advice.

The OCBC OneAdvisor Home affordability tool computes the price range affordability for the buyer, including down-payment, stamp duty, minimum cash payment as well as legal and agent fees.

Plans are also underway to allow for home buyers to get to know OCBC’s mortgage specialists without having to first meet them face-to-face. Akin to popular e-commerce and travel apps, this game-changing new feature allows home buyers to see the past ratings and testimonials given by their mortgage specialists’ former clients.

In the coming months, OCBC OneAdvisor Home will allow home buyers to submit necessary documents through the website for a secure Credit Bureau check. In addition, home sellers will be able to get an indicative value of their properties from an accredited valuer. Services like the application for a renovation loan will also be added in the future.
