Dear Sir,
Allow me to clarify:
1. To purchase a residential property in Singapore, the minimum cash component is 5% cash, 20% can be using CPF and 75% loan. However, for resale property, you need to prepare some cash to pay for the stamp duty and additional buyer stamp duty as well.
2. The stamp duty and legal fees will be about 8% of the purchase price. This is on top of the purchase price.
3. Overseas property will not affect your LTV. Therefore you are still eligible for the max 75% loan provided your income is able to support the loan amount.
4. It is important to understand the overview of the purchase process and get your loan in principal approved first before embarking on a search. It is also important to identify properties which will appreciate in value in the future so that you are able to profit from it next time.
Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and assist you further.
Regards,
Nick Tan
