Hi friends, can you help me please? I currently do not own any property. I am interested to buy a resale condo now to live in, and am trying to work out the various elements of purchasing one. Can anyone tell me if the below will form the total cost of my purchase?

- x% cash for 20% downpayment
- x% CPF for 20% downpayment
- Stamp duties (deductable from CPF)
- Legal fees (deductable from CPF)
= Total cost of purchasing a condo

Lastly at my age, what is the maximum loan tenure period for me? I am 38 and my wife is 36 and both working.

Thanks a million!

Hi,

If both of you are citizens, breakdown of purchase price as follows:
Cash 5% (minimum)
CPF 15%
Max bank loan 80%
Stamp duties approx 3%
Legal fees approx 3K

For maximum loan tenure, 65 years old is the reference figure. as a rough guide, ( 65 - your income-weighted average age ) will be your maximum loan tenure, subject to your respective income levels and any other loan obligations you have. May I discuss further with you regarding your financing and housing requirements? Thanks.

Warm regards,

Good evening buyer,

My banker can advise you on your in principle approval so both of you can gauge how much bank loan can you obtain. Do take that max loan will be up to 80% and max loan tenure will be 30 years or up to retirement age of 65 years old.

Provide you can obtain 80% bank loan, your initial outlay will be such as:

1) 5% cash downpayment
2) 15% CPF OA funds or cash downpayment
3) estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty (pay in cash first then reimbursed if your CPF OA funds got excess after 15% CPF downpayment.)
4) $2.5k to $3k legal fees
5) valuation fee, stamp duty for mortgage etc. (cash)

Maybe you can share with me more information on your finances and requirements so I will be in a better position to advise you.

Hope to hear from you soon! Cheers!

Enjoy your weekends!
