Asked by
Hi agents. My parents are getting a divorce. My mother will transfer ownership of the current HDB flat to my father. My siblings will stay with my father. I am looking to purchase a HDB resale flat with my mother. I'm late 20s and my mother is late 50s. The primary intention of getting the flat is to have a shelter now. I also want this to be the house we stay in when I get married in the near future.

1) Are there any grants available?
2) Understand that HDB loan downpayment is 15%, maximum LTV is 85%.Typically is it easy to get maximum LTV from HDB? Are there any factors that might reduce the LTV ratio?
3) Any other issues that may arise from my situation?

Thank you all in advance.

Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and please feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, if your dad will to take over your mother’s share of the flat, then he must have the means to refund the CPF funds back to your mother OA account with accrued interest.

Hi,

1) If the current flat was bought from the HDB direct such as a BTO or SBF. Then you will not be able to get any grant since you are under 35 yrs old.
2) The loan amount is dependent on your and your mother's income and age. If the purchase flat price is far away from the loan amount then the HDB will not provide additional funds to meet the LTV.
3) There are 2 things I think you will encounter:
a) You will be applying for a 2nd HDB loan if the next loan is from the HDB again. By applying for a 2nd loan, 50% cash from the 1st flat sale proceeds will need to be used to pay for the subsequent flat.
b) If you are buying under the joint tenancy with your mother, in the future your mother might not have the sufficient financial capacity to buy over your share from you. In that case, you will be stuck.
It is recommended to use Tenancy-In-Common if possible so that your mother is still able to buy over your share when you intend to buy your next flat.

Hope the above answer 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.
