Hi Property Guru,

My Mother and I co-bought a HDB unit 5 years ago. I am married with a baby now and would like to get a new place to live.
Hence I am planning to withdraw my name as a co-owner of this unit, and she will be the sole owner. However, I have been paying the loan all these 5 years. My mother is self-employed, drawing little salary, and she doesn't has much CPF.

1. I understand that CPF will return me the amount I paid these 5 years. I can give her cash to pay off HDB the amount i have been paying for 5 years. I would also help her to pay the loan monthly by cash. Possible?

2. Since she would become the sole-owner. Would the value of this HDB unit be the same as when we first bought? Any complication?

Thanks very much! I appreciate your expertise.

Hi Gan,

Based on what I know, the main problem now is the salary of your mum. True enough, you can help to top up the CPF in cash to be refunded to you and pay the monthly installment. However, your mum may not be able to loan the balance outstanding amount, especially if you are taking HDB loan. If you are taking bank loan, perhaps you can still as guarantor and loan on behalf on your mum.

I suggest you approach HDB branch office for more detail.

Hope I had answered your question.

Feel free to contact me if you required any
assistance.

Thanks and Regards
