Financing a resale flat: the extra steps
Older properties bring title-chain and age-of-building questions a new project does not.
4 min read
What you need to know
For a resale purchase the lender examines the full chain of ownership, the seller's outstanding loan and NOC, society dues, and the residual age of the structure. Buildings over 30 years old often see reduced tenure or LTV.
Sequence matters: the seller's existing loan is typically closed from your disbursement, with original documents released directly to your lender. Build that mechanic into the agreement timeline so nobody is left exposed.
