Good afternoon Kenny,

Have you apply for HLE (HDB loan) or IPA (bank loan) yet?

If you take up HDB loan, your cash outlay will be minimal as you can pay 10% downpayment fully by CPF OA funds.

Do take note these expenses have to be in cash:
1) $5k option deposit
2) $80 resale application
3)$200 valuation fee
4) 1% of purchase price plus 7% gst as agent commission

The rest like stamp duties or legal fees can be paid by CPF OA funds.

Hope my sharing is beneficial to your property purchase.

May I know how can I continue to value add in this purchase?

Warmest Regards,

Hi Kenny,

Recommend to get a HLE (hdb loan) or IPA (bank loan) ready first before the house hunting so as to zone in on the blocks that suits your requirements.

Other cash components for resale hdb includes:
Option fee 5k
Hdb admin fees 500 approx
Agent commission 1%+7% GST

Thanks and hope to assist with your purchase further.

Warm Regards,

Evening Kenny,

You will need know how much HLE you are eligible for before we can work on something that's within your budget. However, you will require at least $10k cash in order to secure a unit. This would involve the Option and Exercise Fee, valuation, HDB admin fee and commission fee.

Do contact me further should you require my assistance.
