If you are buying a ready property in the secondary market (resale), you may get 85% to 90% as the loan margin subject to your joint income. That means you need to prepare 10-15% of the property value as down payment. Other additional charges you will incur are 1% to 4% for purchaser's stamp duty and another 0.5% to 1% for legal fees for SPA and an equivalent 0.5% to 1% for Loan Agreement.
If you are purchasing from a primary market (developer's units), the developer may absorb the legal fees.
