Hi Gurus, I am planning to sell my hdb house and get a bto or sales of balance flat. Looking at the rough estimation after selling off my current house, both combined cpf with my spouse we are able to pay off a 4 room flat outskirt area with our current oa account without taking loan from hdb or bank.
Since we are not taking hdb or bank loan, besides the resale levy, will hdb still retain the 50'% cash proceeds from my selling flat?

Morning Wayne,

Based on your statement, your current unit have either being purchased with grant or directly from HDB. Hence you are required to pay a levy for the application of upcoming BTO. Using 50% cash profit is only applicable if you are using your second HDB loan entitlement. Since you are clearing it off with both your CPF, the rules hence not applicable to you.

Do feel free to contact me for further discussion.

Hi Wayne, if you are looking to purchase a BTO/Balance Flat, your concern should be getting a BTO/Balance flat first. You will only be required to sell within 6 months of getting your new flat.

Unless you are selling now, it is hard to forsee if there are any changes to the ruling when the day comes. But at the present moment, what Mike and Janerio have highlighted are what you need to take note of.

Hi Wayne,

As mentioned by my fellow professionals, if you are clearing off the purchase with existing CPF and not taking a loan, the retention of 50% of sales proceeds is not applicable.

As you are selling and purchasing using the CPF, it would be important to highlight to you that timing is critical concern, since the CPF returns from the sale of your existing unit will only be credited within 2-3 weeks, thereafter you are then allowed to utilise for your purchase. In this circumstance, you'll likely require to go on short term rental in between since a brand new BTO or SBF flat will definitely require some form of renovation before it is move-in condition. If there is anyway I am able to assist you further, do not hesitate to contact me further.
