Asked by
Greetings,

I am seeking professional advice from any agents here. Thank you in advance.

Currently, I am the first owner of a 3-room HDB flat with my mother, the second owner, since 2011. I have been paying for this flat via bank mortgage loan since then.

When I turn 35 next year (2021), I will like to purchase a resale HDB flat under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme. My plan is to do a transfer of flat ownership to my elder brother who is a divorcee, who will then live with my mother. I do not plan to sell off my current flat, the one I co-own with my mother. Based on preliminary research on the HDB website, I understand that this is possible.

The advice I need is mostly on the financial aspect to facilitate the planning of my eventual purchase of HDB flat in 2021.

I am wondering if the CPF contribution made to my current flat can be withdrawn to fund my new flat. If so, how much is the estimated amount I will be receiving?
What kind of grants am I eligible for?
How would my brother, the incoming owner, continue to finance this flat.
How much HDB loan am I eligible for based on the my current financial standing?

I am hoping to get answers to these questions so that I can anticipate and plan for the type of HDB flat I am able to purchase next year. If possible, this may even assist me in searching for a property in advance so that I can proceed with the purchase once I am officially 35.

I’d prefer to link up and consult with an agent who is able to assist me. I look forward to favourable responses.

Hi;

I would be able to assist you in this matter.. Yes, you will be able to do a transfer of your share to your brother. He would then need to take up a loan to finance for the outstanding loan for your current place. As of how much you can get back from the house, you need to log in to your CPF website and check, under Section C( amount used + accrued interest) .. Yes, you can use this amount for your next property. For your loan amount, would need more details from you before i could advise. Please feel free to contact me for further discussion as im unable to contact you via here.. Thanks..

Hi,

Yes, your plan is feasible.

Once you removed your name from your current flat, whatever that you have paid towards the flat from your flat will be refunded back to you, with accrued interest. This also mean that your brother, who is coming in to take ownership of the flat, must have the financial capability to pay you back your CPF, and is also able to support any outstanding loan.

As for your own purchase, the amount of Grant and Loan you're eligible for will depend on several factors like your income level, the type of flat you purchase, the location of flat you purchase etc.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen

Hi,

Yes based on the info shared it seems feasible. Firstly your brother must be financially equipped to be able to finance the flat on his own (have enough cash+cpf oa+ loan), as I assume your mum is no longer earning income. If so, he will be able to take over and you be able to exit, and your cpf utilized+accrued interest would be refunded to you. This amount can be used for the next flat.

As you bought the current flat directly from HDB, this is considered your first subsidy. So for the next resale flat, only can get the proximity housing grant of 10k if you buy within 4km to your parents place. How much you can loan depends on your age and income profile at point of application.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan.

-- HDB Hougang 4-RM Sellers Mdm. Ng & Jean --

Ivan was the first and only agent that we met before engaging him as our exclusive agent. At the first meeting, Ivan meticulously went through the entire sale process. As we were not familiar with the procedures, he spent extra time to explain what was required from us and what we should expect.

After a week of preparation, Ivan came to take photographs, and once the advertisements were up, we had interested parties coming to view the apartment the very next day. Within a week, we had secured an offer from the buyer. Ivan was reliable and responsive, and he made the entire process smooth and hassle free Read More

Hi there,

This can be easily done as long as your brother has sufficient CPF OA & income to take over from you.

For your buying, you'd need to assess your budget first before proceeding to the next step.

Feel free to contact me to discuss further.
