An
HFE letter will inform you if you are eligible for a flat purchase, CPF housing grants, or a HDB housing loan. It's a three-in-one application. If you intend to purchase an HDB resale flat, you will need a valid HFE letter, Intent to Buy (ITB), and HLE letter. Note that it takes about 21 working days to process your HFE letter application. Your HFE letter, like the HLE letter, will provide an evaluation of your eligibility for an HDB loan as well as the maximum loan amount you can get. Through the
HDB Flat Portal, you may submit an application if you qualify for an HDB loan. You can choose to finance your HDB flat with an HDB loan or a bank loan.
