Good morning buyers,

first and foremost, just a reminder. SPR household must be SPRs for at least 3 years to be eligible to purchase a resale HDB.

You should be able to obtain a substantial bank loan based on your combined income but according to your finances on hand ($60k CPF OA funds and $40k cash), both of you should only be able to afford a property up to $360k.

Do let me explain further.

Your initial outlay will be as such if you are able to obtain max 80% bank loan:

1) 5% cash downpayment
2) 15% CPA OA or cash downpayment
3) estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty
4) 5% ABSD as SPR
5) $2k legal fees
6) 1% of purchase price plus 7% GST as agent commission
7) $200 valuation fee, $80 resale application etc

Unless you have more finances on hand, if not your affordability will be restricted.

Hope my sharing is beneficial to your property purchase.

I had assisted a couple SPR buyers in getting their resale HDB below valuation last year. Wish both of you can enjoy this result with me as well.

Hi,

Both of you must hold SPR status for at least 3 years before you can purchase resale hdb.

Typical breakdown as follows:
Cash 5%
Cpf 15%
Max bank loan 80%
Stamp duties and legal fees approx 8%
Commission 1%+ GST
Hdb admin fees 500

How much you can loan also depends on your exact age, income and credit profile and any other outstanding loan you have the moment. Thanks and may I have your requirements further so to value-add further to your plans?

Warm Regards,

Hi buyer,

Right now you can only get a HDB flat up to about $400k (depending on your loan eligibility as well); this is due to the lack of upfront payment potential.

However, rest assured you are perfectly fine, given your earning power.

Feel free to contact me at your convenience, and we can carry on the planning from there.

Thanks and regards,

Sincerest apologies for the late reply as Propertyguru doesnt prompt me when there's any reply to my post.

If you have around $80k CPF OA funds and $40k cash, you should be able to afford a property worth up to $430k.

But nevertheless, it will be best to speak to a banker first so he/ she can advise you on your in principle approval (bank loan) before you start house hunting.

May I know how can my banker get in touch with you?
