We can provide mortgages for owner occupation in Hong Kong and Singapore , but not in other countries . Other restrictions related to property use may also apply and details are available upon request.

Please also note that we would normally not provide financing for certain types of property such as serviced apartments, resorts, golf course properties, student accommodation, former local authority or public housing, Defence Force property or similar.

The terms, conditions and fees outlined above are not all inclusive and are for indication only. They apply only to loan facilities that are issued and accepted from the date below and may be changed, amended or deleted without any prior notice. Please note that depending on the resident status and tax regime of the borrower's country of residence, withholding tax implications may affect the interest cost to the borrower and Lloyds TSB's capacity to lend. You should obtain independent tax advice which specifically addresses your current personal tax position as well as any possible future changes to your residency or domicile for tax purposes. Lloyds TSB disclaims any responsibility for any tax liability which may be incurred as a result of taking up any of our products or services.

The above terms and conditions, which should be read in conjunction with the full IMS brochure, apply to loans via Lloyds TSB - Hong Kong and Singapore only.
