Asked by
dear gurus, my wife and I are living in a 3-rm HDB. It was purchased before marriage under my sole name, and still with an outstanding bank home loan. I had not used up all my CPF when buying the flat and have about $50k left in my OA. I wld like to ask: 1) since my wife's CPF money has not been utilized at all, she has no outstanding housing loan. Thus, is she eligible for 80% bank loan if we decide to buy a pte condo (she as the main applicant)? 2) Can I use the $50k bal in my OA towards the downpayment of the pte property as joint applicant? Thanks.

Hi Will,

For your scenario, wife as main applicant and you as co applicant for condo purchase, you are only eligible for 60% loan due to you having an outstanding residential mortgage loan.

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks.

Morning Will,

As long as your name have being used onto the property that is to be purchased, both of you can only get 60% loan. To avoid this, your spouse would have to purchase the property on her own name.
