Hi Guru, we are PR couple but I'm PR for 2 years 6 months (1 Oct 17 will be 3 years). Should we start looking for housing now as I know PR with minimum for 3 years are eligible to buy resale HDB flat. Or we can start looking now and settle paper document once we are eligible to buy? Our budget is 350k or less. Please advise the breakdown payment and cash required. Thanks!!!

Afternoon,

As you still have about 6 more months to go before fulfilling the SPR holding requirement, it would be good to start hunting in late Sept or early Oct. Being SPR buyers, you will need to prepare the following funding:

1) 5% ABSD
2) 20% down payment, provided you are granted with 80% loan
3) 3% Standard stamp duty and legal fee
4) 1% agent commission
5) Around $2k for valuation, admin fee, tax refund, etc.

Do contact me further should you require my assistance.

Hi Ke Wei

You will need to wait out the 3 years before you can purchase a resale HDB flat.

You may start to engage a real estate salesperson (RES) 2 weeks before your 3 years are up as any time earlier will be a wasted efforts on your part as you will not able to purchase. This is because I have help numerous SPR/SPR buy a resale HDB and it had taught me that SPR/SPR tend to be quick with their decision as they had the experience in choosing a home. This likely due to their experience in choosing a place to rent. This time is to buy.

Once you are really, you may call 9620 0827  for a casual chat or email to gavin.ng@orangetee.com. We can do a pro-forma financial statement with the latest policies then.

Good evening Ke Wei,

I will advise you to only start househunting around 1 month before you fulfill SPR status for 3 years. Because if you start too early, you wont be eligible to ink on the OTP as well.

As for the initial outlay, it will be as such:

1) 5% cash downpayment inclusive of $5k option deposit
2) 15% CPF OA or cash downpayment
3) estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty
4) 5% ABSD as SPR
5) $2k legal fees
6) $80 resale application
7) $200 valuation fee
8) 1% of purchase price plus 7% GST as agent's commission.

Based on your budget, you might be looking at 3rm or smaller sized 4rm flat if possible.

I had assisted a few SPR buyers in their resale HDB purchase last year. Hope I can be of help to yours as well.

Warmest Regards,
