Asked by
Hi, my fiancee and I (first timers and both under 35) are intending to purchase a HDB resale flat as owner and essential occupier. We have the following queries:

1) Is it possible to purchase a HDB resale flat under one owner and one essential occupier, and will the essential occupier be able to purchase another property after the 5 year MOP without incurring ABSD?

2) Will we still be eligible for first timer grants and proximity housing grants under this scheme?

3) Is it true that only the owner will be able to use his/her CPF to make payment for the flat and only his/her income will be assessed in determining the quantum of the loan provided by HDB/Banks?

Truly appreciate your help in advance!

Hi,

Yes, you can purchase under Fiance/Fiancee scheme, with one party the owner and the other the essential occupier.

You will be eligible for CPF Housing Grant, if your combined household monthly income is below $12k. You will also qualify for Proximity Housing Grant if you stay within 4km to you parents residence.

Only the owner's income will be used to assess for loan eligibility, and the occupier will not be able to utilise the CPF funds for the flat.

Essential occupier is not the owner, and will not incur ABSD should he/she purchase another property after the MOP has been met.

Dear sir/madam,

Looking into your enquiry, I believe you have medium term plans to purchase another property where you have 1 for investment and 1 for own stay. Subjective to your existing financial situation, it will be good to plan out with projection of your finances as well as the price trend of the existing market to determine how you should go about charting your progress and growing in your asset wealth.

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 clients’ 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.

I look very much to hear from you soon.
