HSBC: Great News - we’ve further enhanced our residential lending criteria

01 October 2026

We’ve listened to your feedback and improved our residential lending policy for customers purchasing a New Build property and part exchanging their existing home with the developer.

From today, Thursday 1st October, part exchange arrangements will now be treated as a financial incentive of up to 2% of the purchase price.

Financial incentives (including the part exchange) up to 5% of the property price are accepted without impacting the property value.

Where total financial incentives (including the part exchange) is above 5%, the difference must be deducted from the purchase price for LTV purposes.

For more information, please visit our Broker website.
