Asked by
Hi, I will be taking a bank loan for a HDB resale purchase. May I know whether the Option Fee can be included as part of the 5% cash downpayment?

For example,
Housing Price: $400,000
5% Cash Downpayment: $20,000 (Part of regulation)
15% CPF Downpayment: $60,000 (Part of regulation)
Option Fee: $5,000 (OTP + Exercise to OTP)

Therefore, after minus off the Option Fee ($5,000), am I paying $15,000 as Cash Downpayment?

Thank you.

Hi Eric,

Should you opt to take up bank loan, the maximum loan you are eligible for will be 75% of the valuation of the property or purchase price whichever is higher. The $5000 option fees you pay to secure and exercise the OTP forms part of the 5% cash component.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

Hi Eric,

Yes, the option fee that you paid out forms part of the cash consideration for the purchase.

However, do take note that the maximum loan limits now is at 75%. Hence, you will need to fork out 25% as downpayment, not 20% as you mentioned. Cash downpayment would be minimum 5%, with balance 20% can be from CPF.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB resale and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen
