Asked by
Hello everyone, as I have been away from Singapore for a very long time I realized that the regulation with regards to buying and selling of HDB have changed. First of all, I am interested in selling my 4 room flat and planning to buy a bigger HDB apartment.I just discovered that the regulation have change with regards to leaving a minimum sum of monies in our CPF medisave account. I have been working overseas for many years and have been serving my HDB loan and paying them in cash however when I made the initial purchase I used up all my money in my CPF ordinary account. What I have left is 467.02 in my ordinary account, 11,955.71 in my special account and 7922.68 in my medisave account.
From what I understand, if I sell my 4 room HDB, the total CPF funds that I once used to purchase will go back into my Ordinary CPF account and I still have to top up my medisave to the minimum required amount from the sale of my 4rm. I am confused with all the new rules, kindly advise.

Morning Rizal,

Are you more than 55 years of age? If not, you are not required to maintain the CPF minimum sum when you opt to sell away your current unit to purchase another HDB resale unit.

Do feel free to contact me for further discussion.

Hi Rizal,

If you are below 55 years old, you do not need to maintain the CPF minimum sum. But if you are above 55 years, you will need to set the minimum sum required, which means there's a limitation on the CPF funds that you can use towards your purchase of another HDB flat.

Feel free to contact me if you require further assistance.

Thank you.
