Asked by
Hi, I'm a divorcee and so is my friend. We intend to buy a 4 room HDB together under joint singles. As I have already taken 2 HDB loans, I'm not entitled to take a 3rd one. My friend on the other hand still have 1 chance to take HDB loan. My questions is, since I have more funds in my OA (around 200k) than my friend. Is it possible that only him apply for the loan, combine with what I have in my OA and buy a resale flat from the market?

Hi,

1) UNmarried & single must be SC and >=35 years old to be eligible for the Joint Single Scheme.
2) On top of the above basic, ensure you and your friend do not have siblings buy/own an HDB flat using the same scheme.
3) Note that your friend going to apply for a 2nd HDB loan, HDB will request him to use 50% cash proceed from the last sale to fund the new purchase. If he already used the money, ensure appeal to HDB to waive before commit to your next purchase.
4) In a purchase, there is no regulation on all owners must apply for a loan. Thus you can proceed with your plan; he will apply for the loan and pay for the mortgage.
5) In your case, it is recommended to use Tenancy-In-Common to benefit both parties. Meaning you spelled clearly the percentage share for each individual. If he is paying more then it is only right that he owns a higher percentage and vice versa.
6) The advantage of Tenancy-In-Common is both parties can identify who will inherit your share and how much they receive. Unlike Joint-Tenancy, the survivor owns everything.
