Hi,

1) If you transfer the flat from your parents to you, you will need to refund the CPF that your parents have used for the flat. After the refund of CPF, if they have more than the required minimum sum, they will be able to draw out the excess as cash from their CPF accounts.

2) If the flat is getting older, I will not advise you to take over as it will become increasingly difficult to sell in the future especially if the leftover lease is less than 60 years.

3) I will require some financial information from you to determine whether you have the financial means to take over the unit as you may require a loan and you can also use the CPF in your OA account to finance the purchase of the house.

4) I think your situation is not a simple one and I will need further information from you before I can make more informed recommendations.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with further assistance!

Regards,
Nick Tan

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”

Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.

Weilun & Benita (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations.
We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”

Hi,

you are eligible to buy over your parents' ownership in current flat as you are eligible under public scheme with your married wife.

Do take note that by doing so, you must be financially capable to take up a loan and refund whatever CPF OA funds your parents had utilised before. This will most likely be back in their retirement account if not cash.

By the way do bear in mind that buyers might have difficulty to utilise maximum loan and CPF OA funds for flat that are at least 40 years old (balance lease 50 years) so if your existing flat is not young, you might want to consider other options.

Perhaps you can share more with me so I will be in a better position to advise you further.
