  • United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, March 31 - 2009 at 16:21

HSBC Bank Middle East Limited, which had drastically cut back on mortgage lending due to the credit crunch, today announced that it raised its loan-to-value ratio for financing to 75% on completed villas, 70% on completed apartments and 50% on off-plan units. Prior to today's increase the bank's loan-to-value ratio had been 60% for villas and 50% for apartments. Abdulfattah Sharaf, CEO of Personal Financial Services, HSBC Middle East, said the offer is mostly aimed at 'end-users who have recently faced acute difficulties getting affordable mortgage finance'.
