To my understanding the LO only valid for a month only and it's not necessarily means we can sign SNP after loan approved. The officer told me that thy can verbally let me know if loan approved and by the SNP coming and they will issue the LO prior to signing SNP.
Probably someone could adv. how this works?
Bank Letter Offer only valid for one to two months. For two ( or three ) months onwards, the banker need to reinstate the letter offer validity by seeking Credit Approval. Means it might be rejected and you need to resubmit a whole updated income doc in order for banks.
Ex. Your submit the loan application at Jan and only aproved now, means LO date March 2012. If after 1 1/2 months, say May, you wanted to sign the LO. Banker need to reinstate the LO. Most banks should be no problem. But there is one risk where banks would requested a new application due to Income Doc provided was during January which was 4-5 months back, then the Credit Approval would not agree to extend the LO. Hence, pls resubmit new application.
While, some banks do have pre-approve loan, Alliance Bank has and UOB no. They can do a pre approve loan without booking receipt or certain property details. But to get approval first and then wait S&P signing time only to release LO, is no such things. Unless the S&P signing is within 2 weeks short period. The banker can hold the LO issuance and trying to KIV by amendment some package or etc and then re seek for approval without changes.
Hope it's clarifies you all.

You still can't sign the S&P.. Will have to wait for the developer to finalised the S&P. if your loan has been approved, you will be given 2 weeks to accept and the availability period is usually for few months.once exceeded the availability period, we will have to ask the bank for extension..
Uob verbally approved my loan @ 80% margin.. Alliance still pending finalisation on the loan package.
To finalize a S&P is just very quick. They unable to do so bcz they are yet to obtain the AP & DL and also they just finalize their agreement of DIBS package with several banks like Alliance Bank, UOB and Ambank.
And yes, Alliance Bank just finalise their loan package but they waiting the developer to pen to the LO but they had verbally agreed to it. You can starts to apply soon.
