Asked by
Hello. Is there a minimum income requirement to get a loan for EC? We own a 5 room HDB flat and my married daughter has got a 3 room DBSS . Previously we wanted to get a EC with attached studio unit, but we exceeded the total household income. Now , my daughter has stopped work to care for her new born child and my husband will be retiring. Thus, how will this affect loan financing the EC?
Is there demand for DBSS at clementi?
Our 5 room flat is bought 2nd time from Hdb, are we able to be occupiers of the EC to qualify for any grant for my daughter's application.?
Can we still keep our 5room HDB for our son, who is less than 35 yrs?
Alternatively, we sell off our flat, can we buy a resale flat for our son's accomodation, since he can't get one on his own now.

Please advise.
Thank you .
With Regards
Florence

Hi Florence,

The amount of income required depends on the home loan required, but for new EC eligibility there is another regulation that the household income cannot exceed $16k per month for the application to be eligible.

One way to consider, based on the info shared, is to purchase the new EC under your daughter and son-in-law's name. If the finances of your daughter and son-in-law are strong enough, they can purchase the new EC under their own name, and you need not sell away the current HDB 5-room. This suggestion is also because of the line "Our 5 Room Flat Is Bought 2nd Time From Hdb" , which hints that you have purchased subsidized flat 2 times, hence this is also another indication that you may no longer be eligible for new EC purchase.

Finally, your son can't purchase HDB on his own sole name as he is single under 35 years old.

Perhaps we could have a chat to explore the best way to structure the property portfolio?

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,

-- EC Sellers, Private Property Buyers Dr. Chan & Ms. Xie --

I would like to compliment Mr Ivan Ng for his professional work and effort.I sent my first post in Jan 2019 and Ivan replied promptly, so I have decided to contact Ivan for follow up. My EC was not ready for sale due to MOP (another 3 months from Jan) at that time and Ivan was able to give me advices on how to proceed from there. Initially we have decided to try to write to HDB for early sale but since it was only 3 months left, eventually we waited for another 3 months while we looked for our next property. Ivan was able to arrange for new property showroom appointment at a timely manner while helping us to list for our EC for sale. We were a bit worried when our EC sale time was longer than expected due to trade war, but Ivan was able to reassure us that our EC would sell. By November, he managed to secure a buyer for our EC. Thank you.

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.

Hi Florence,

1) There is no minimum income requirement to apply for a new EC.
2) The limitation is only on the maximum income ceiling which is not exceeding $16,000.
3) According to MSR, the maximum loan you can receive around $1,060k if your monthly household income is around $16k.
4) If only using your husband's income to apply for a loan, I'm afraid the amount will be reduced by at least half because the nearer you reach 65, you will receive a lower loan.
5) Trivelis 3-room DBSS is sold from a range of $305k to $565k. Sure there is demand for DBSS due to a better design compared to normal HDB.
6) In order to be eligible to be listed as occupier of EC, the occupier is not allowed to own any property.
7) Only 1st timer is eligible for a grant. For your family case, there should not be any grant available.
8) You cannot be listed as occupier of an EC while keeping your HDB flat.
9) Your son is non-eligible for any resale flat at the moment until he reached 35 years old.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more query, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards

Hi Florence,

There is no minimum income requirement to purchase a EC, or any other property. You can purchase a property even without any income.

If you're considering a brand new EC, there will be a household monthly income ceiling of $16,000.

Loan financing would be based on both the age and the income of all the borrowers for the property. The maximum loan is capped at 75% LTV of the property price (or valuation), and will be based on TDSR/MSR framework.

DBSS Trivelis is the only DBSS in Clementi, and demand is healthy.

Your Son does not qualify to own a HDB flat on his own. You can choose to keep hold of your 5RM flat for him to stay, as your Daughter may not require your names afterall to qualify for EC purchase.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

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,
