Hi, for the new purchase of the condo unit, your wife does not need to fulfill the minimum sum as this is her 1st property. And yes, with her cpf contribution, she will also be a co-owner. Pls kindly note that for your case, the stamp duty payable will be at 10%.

Good morning,

As she doesn't contribute any CPF OA funds in your current property, she doesn't need to keep a minimum sum.

And yes she has to be one of the owners in order for her to contribute her CPF OA funds into 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,

As your wife is an occupier, she does not need to fulfil the minimum sum as the private property will be considered her 1st. However, do note both of you will need to fulfil the minimum occupation period (MOP) of 5 years.

By using her CPF, she will be considered a co-owner. Do note that as you currently own the HDB, the private property will be considered your 2nd property and will be subjected to a total of approx. 10% stamp duty.

Do give me a call so that I can advice further. As you mentioned you can clear the outstanding loan, there are other options for you to consider when buying the 2nd property. But I will require more details as the options are subjected to your current situations.

Afternoon,

Being an occupier, she would not have utilized CPF for your current unit hence there's no requirement to fulfill the CFP minimum sum. Do note that you are required to fulfill the MOP before you are eligible for the upcoming purchase. If your spouse is foreigner, ABSD will be based on 15%.

Do contact me further for detail discussion.

Hi,

Since she did not contribute CPF towards the HDB, she need not maintain the minimum sum before she can utilize her CPF monies for the condo purchase.

With her contribution via CPF for the condo, yes that makes her a co-owner. If you are jointly purchasing, your stamp duties will be higher, relative to purchasing on her sole name only.

Thanks and may I have more details so we can explore whether which option is the best method to facilitate your purchase? Hope to have the opportunity to discuss further.

Warm regards

Hi,
Fyi, the ABSD for the new purchase will be 7% because that will be your 2nd property. Also if there is outstanding mortgage on the hdb, the max loan quantum of the 2nd property will be only 50%. Suggest to work out the financial plan in details before the purchase. To assist and advise you in details, please drop me an email for me to share.

I can be contactable at my mobile or email.
