Eligibility for EC Purchase:
Age and Marital Status: There's no minimum age requirement, but you must be a Singapore Citizen (SC) or Permanent Resident (PR) forming a family nucleus. This typically means being married with a spouse or child, or an unmarried parent with a child. As a single person, you currently wouldn't meet the family nucleus requirement.
Income Ceiling: There's also a combined monthly income ceiling of S$14,000 for EC purchases. Since your income is S$20,000, you'd need to consider including another eligible co-applicant, such as a parent, sibling, or future spouse, to meet the family nucleus requirement and potentially stay within the income ceiling.
Alternatives to Consider:
Private Condominiums: If the family nucleus requirement is a hurdle, you could explore purchasing a similar-sized unit in a private condominium**. However, be aware that down payment requirements and loan restrictions might be different for private properties compared to ECs.
Resale ECs (After MOP): Another option is to wait until resale EC units at Copen Grand reach their Minimum Occupancy Period (MOP), typically 5 years**. After the MOP, these units might be eligible for purchase by single applicants.
Financial Considerations:
Loan Eligibility: Even if you meet the family nucleus requirement, getting a loan for a 5-bedroom EC unit can be challenging due to the high property value and potential loan amount. Explore loan options and eligibility criteria with different banks to determine affordability.
Down Payment: EC purchases require a minimum down payment of 25%**, which can be significant for a 5-bedroom unit. Ensure you have sufficient funds for the down payment and closing costs.
