The Client

Our client was referred to us by a law firm helping him set up a Singapore presence, which includes a company, family office, and trust.

Our client worked with our Chinese-speaking HNW team, who is very familiar with this exact case. It was especially good that we had referrals from similar clients in Hong Kong, so the client felt rest-assured. We work with over a dozen private banks in Singapore, helping their clients with International mortgage requests.

Singapore lawyer buys home in Chatswood, north of Sydney

The Client

Our client had done very deep research on how people in Sydney were slowly moving to Chatswood due to the lower cost of living. He was purely motivated for an investment and yield return.

How We Helped

Our client wanted to cover his rental yield with high leverage. Given Singapore banks require hefty cash collateral, it didn't make sense for him to use a traditional Singapore bank. Our client heard our presentation at a local social club and contacted our team in Singapore. We found a 30 year loan at 4.88% that was able to be closed in 45 days.

Singapore Citizen	Singapore	Lawyer	AUD 790,000	AUD 474,000

The Client

Our client contacted us after seeing our ad on WeChat! Our Chinese-speaking team immediately gained the confidence of the client.
