Hi Gurus,

Recently I saw a unit I like and the remaining lease is 54 years, I am 37 years old. May I ask if I can use my full CPF and continue paying the remaining via CPF for the next 15 years?

Thank you.

Hi,

When buying property less than 60 years old lease, there are two main conisdering factors:

(A) Age
Your age + remaining lease of property is at least 80 years; 37 + 54 = 91.
Therefore this qualified.

(B) CPF usage:
A formula needed to apply to determine how much CPF OA can be used for lease less than 60 years:

(Remaining lease when youngest eligible owber using CPF turns 55/Remaining lease at the pt of purchase) * lower of purchase price or valuation value

(18/54)*$X = 33.33% of $X.

Meaning you can only used less than 34% of CPF to pay for the property.

Whether or not continue paying remaining via CPF shall dependent on the amount of down-payment, and how you finance the monthly installment.
But if you are referring to completely using CPF for the property, you already know the answer from answer in (B).

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Hi,

Based on the figures given, you will only be able to use you CPF to pay up to 67% of the property's purchase price or valuation price, whichever is lower.

The balance will have to be paid in form of CASH.

Thank you.
