Asked by
Hi, I am currently holding a HDB 4-rm flat, looking to upgrade to EC. But I am facing some issues.
1) I have not outstanding loan for the current house and had fulfilled the MOP.
2) My cash on hand about 30K, CPF about 50K. So does that means I must sell my current flat before I can booked a EC or should I wait till the EC TOP, then I purchase?

Thank you.

Hi there!

Thank you for your query!

Yes indeed, you can proceed to purchase an EC now. You will need to dispose off your HDB unit within 6 months of collecting key which spells good news since the resale HDB market is currently down. By the time the TOP of your EC is attained, market should have stabilized and your profit margin will be retained.

As for cash payment:
For 80% loan,
20% will be cash.
5% Cash and 15% CPF.

Other fees:
Normal BSD 3%
Legal Misc Fees
No agent fees.

Developers have also rolled out deferred payment scheme which can help ease your cash upfront if there might be any impending issues. I can throughly explain this concept as well.

I recently helped a client secure his EC unit at Bellewoods over the past weekend and will be glad to walk you through the entire procedure, at no obligation and no cost!

My company manages most or rather all of the ECs- Ecopolitan, Terrace/Bellewoods/Bellewaters and many more! You name it, we have it.
As such, I will be able to disseminate information and pricing details at the quickest due to being from the developer sales team.

Purchasing a private property requires a step by step guidance:
(1) Understanding your requirements and expectations ; Location, Preferred Sizing, Comfortable Quantum

(2) Running through the finances comprehensively :
-Financial cash flow calculations
-Utilization of Cash/ CPF
-Progressive Payments
-Timeline of progressive payments

(3) In-Principal loan approval
By my network of bankers at no cost

(4) Following that,
We can kickstart on identifying the ideal development and there after, the perfect unit that is more tailor made for your family's comfortable living.

In midst, you will progressively be updated and furnished with these documents :
(1) Price analysis of properties in your desired locales
(2) Customized sales and rental report of chosen project v other projects
(3) Indicative pricing and Transaction caveats of recently sold units in chosen project
(4) Projected yield and capital upswing info derived from within vicinity properties

Let's catch up at 96659926  and allow me to walk you through this process seamlessly! Furthermore, no agent fees is involved, with the entire technicalities of the purchase resting on my shoulders to best protect and maximize your interest.

Good afternoon EC upgrader,

Based on your finances on hand, I don't think you have enough to cover the 20% downpayment and the stamp duties.

It seems like you have to sell off your current unit and rent or move into your relative's place while waiting for your EC to be completed.

You can also opt for EC to be TOP and purchase the balance units as well.

The crucial point is you have to have your initial outlay ready for this purchase.

Hope my explanation helps!

If you need any assistance or advice in your property purchase, feel free to contact me. Cheers!

Warmest Regards,

Hi,

The 20% downpayment (5% cash + 15% CPF) is required within 8-10 weeks of EC booking, hence it appears you would have to sell away your HDB now to unlock the proceeds, should you wish to get the EC now. This method would mean you need to have some form of interim housing for 1 - 2 years before EC TOP.

There are some buyers who did so, as they felt they felt their HDB may not fetch as relatively higher prices in 1-2 years time (with a lesser balance lease then) than current prices. After all, the HDB resale market has been moderating downwards the past 1 year.

Thanks and may I understand your housing plans so to further value-add if you should proceed with the EC upgrading? Which EC are you considering now? Thanks and hope to discuss further.

Warm regards

Hi,

The downpayment for an EC would be 20% of the purchase price. For example if you purchase a 3 bedroom unit at 800k, that would mean you require at least 5% cash and 15% from CPF. There's a Buyer's Stamp Duty of approximately 3% ($18.6k), resale levy ($40k) may be applicable and Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty if you or your spouse is a PR.

The remaining 80% can come from loan. Do you know that for EC purchase, MSR (Mortgage Servicing Ratio) of 30% is used to determine the loan amount? What does it mean? What difference is it from TDSR (Total Debt Servicing Ratio)?

Do allow me to share more with you before you take the next step. I would like to put the numbers and sums down and share with you the options you have. I will also share with you common concerns upgraders have and how can you still benefit in the current market situation.

Please feel free to contact me for a non-obligatory sharing. I'm share you will have much to take away. :)
