Asked by
Hi currently I'm holding a joint tenancy with my mother and brother.
Mother age is 63 and brother is 41.
Our HDB flat is fully paid with no outstanding loan attached.
Here come the problem.
I will be getting my new BTO flat soon.
I understand that i would need to have my name taken out from the existing flat either before or within 6 month when i collect my keys.
And the remaining partly would have to top up the CPF amount plus the accrued interest I have used in order to have my name taken out right?
But what if my brother CPF does not have that much CPF amount to top up?
What can be done?
If based only on the CPF amount needed for the top up only which the shortage is about 15k. (Not sure if there is anymore hidden amount or rules that might add up to it.)
Also, I'm not looking at the selling the house away as they might have difficulty in purchasing another one.

Hi Edwin,

You are absolutely right that either your mom or brother must have the CPF OA funds or cash and financial capacity to get a loan in order to take over the share of your ownership.

In the event, they dont have sufficient CPF OA funds to do so then they might have to consider to take a loan or pay you back in cash.

Alternatively we should do up a financial plan to see whether can they downgrade comfortably.

Hope my sharing is informative and value adding towards your property needs.

May I know how can I value add further?

Good afternoon Edwin,

I will strongly advise you to speak to the HDB officer in charge of your BTO if not HDB branch office. Check with them against your situation and get a confirmation on the CPF OA funds needed to be refunded to you and cash/ CPF OA funds that your mom or brother has to top up.

With these, you will be more confident in proceeding forward.
