Hi, so here's an update to my previous question. My wife's PR application did not went through. However, we are still very keen to purchase a resale flat. I understand there's a non-citizen spouse scheme that we can tap on. Details of our financial standings; I'm 28 years old, and my wife is 26 years old. My wife is a taiwanese, and I am a SC. Both working in Singapore for the past 3 years. My monthly salary is S$3356 and hers is S$2320. I currently have S$42k in my CPF-OA account. We both have never bought nor own any property. What are our chances of buying a 4-room flat near Bedok Reservoir?Our combined cash in hand is around $20k. We just applied for the HLE from HDB, but seems like only my income will be taken into consideration. If so, our hopes of getting a 4-room flat seems unrealistic right?

Hi,

You may want to consider taking bank loan instead, which could bump up the loan amount. Taking HDB loan will mean chances are slim for a hdb 4rm at bedok reservoir.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Hi Mr David,

It is common for newly wed couple consider HDB loan due to able to loan up to 90%, and minimum cash outlay.

(1) Finance:
You shall need to budget your purchase to around $400k in order to do so.
According to my calculation, cash & CPF payment shall be as such:

(a) Cash: $16.5k
(b) CPF: $41.6K

To pay for all misc, stamp duty, legal fee, insurance etc.

(2) Grant:
The above calculation valid provided you receive "Single Grant" of $25k (for 2~4-rm).
You should be qualified for this but still need HDB approval. :-))

You are not qualify for proximity grant as that required at least 1x SC + 1x SPR.

You will also need to qualify for a loan amount of $330k from HDB:
You may used this HLE calculator to check an estimation:

(3) Bedok reservoir:
There are 4-rm flat that can match this. However, you have to prepare that the flats remaining lease is 60+, meaning most of those that could fit your budget, interior condition is not going to be as nice as those newer flats.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards
