Hi. My partner and I booked a SBF unit. But we are facing the issue of HFE approved loan amount being too low. HDB approved grant amount based on our combined income, but loan amount was solely based on my partner's income. Please advice

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this roadblock. Typically you may consider obtaining a private bank loan to check if you may obtain a higher loan amount, or you may check with the HDB officer if there’s any possibility of getting HDB to reassess your HDB loan eligibility and check with them if there are any other forms of income that they maybe able to take into consideration.

Feel free to reach out to me if you encounter any other issues.

Cheers!

Thank you for sharing your situation. Have you been working for the past 12 months? Or do you have any ongoing loan that is under repayment or have any bad credit history? Or are you a non-Singapore Citizen or PR? If you are not listed as a co-owner, your income will also not be included for assessment. Read More

My Answer with regards to your Question:

It seems like the issue you're facing is related to the HDB loan amount being lower than expected, based solely on your partner's income. Here are some suggestions to address this:

Private Bank Loan: Consider exploring the option of obtaining a private bank loan. Private banks may have different eligibility criteria and lending limits compared to HDB loans, so it's worth checking if you can secure a higher loan amount from a private bank.

Reassess HDB Loan Eligibility: You can reach out to the HDB officer handling your case and inquire about the possibility of reassessing your HDB loan eligibility. Ask if there are any additional forms of income or factors that can be considered to potentially increase the loan amount.

Financial Situation: Reflect on your financial situation and check if there are any factors that could affect the loan amount, such as employment stability, ongoing loan repayments, or credit history. Ensure that your financial records are in order and highlight any positive aspects that may support your loan application.

Ownership Status: If you're not listed as a co-owner of the property, your income may not be considered for loan assessment. Discuss with your partner and the HDB officer if there are any implications or options related to ownership status that could impact the loan amount.

Seek Professional Advice: Consider consulting with a financial advisor or mortgage broker who specializes in HDB loans and property financing. They can provide personalized advice and assistance tailored to your specific situation, helping you navigate the loan application process more effectively.

By exploring these options and seeking guidance from relevant parties, you can hopefully find a solution to address the issue with the HDB loan amount and proceed with your SBF unit booking smoothly.
