Good evening buyer,

As long as your household has at least one Singaporean and you have fulfilled your minimum occupation period, you are eligible to purchase a condo and keep the HDB.

If you dont have any oustanding loan, you can take up to 80% bank loan for your purchase. If you have utilise any CPF OA funds in this inherited unit, you have to set aside half of CPF minimum sum ($80.5k) in your SA + OA before you can use the excess in your OA.

Lastly, as this will be your second property. You will be subject to at least 7% additional buyer's stamp duty.

Hope my explanation helps!

If you need further assistance or advice in your property purchase, feel free to contact me. Cheers!

Hi

From the information you have given, you should be able to purchase a private property.

The only concerns you need to address is as below

1) ABSD
2) How to get 80% loan financing
3) Which private property to go for which suits your needs
4) Financial planning on cashflow after purchase

I hope you can call me before making a decision because myself is well-versed in the options available which could help you save on ABSD and also help on getting a 80% loan.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Cheers

Hi Mdm,

For your situation, your current flat will be counted as your first residential property. If you were to purchase another property, you will be subjected to the Additional Buyer Stamp Duty (ABSD) of 7% on top of the normal stamp duty of about 3% approx.

If the current house is fully paid, you will be eligible for a max loan of 80% for your next purchase. You will be able to utilize your CPF for your condo purchase but you will need to set aside half of the prevailing sum amount and can only use the excess amount in your OA account.

Please feel free to contact me at 9644 4854  if you need any clarifications.
