Asked by
I am 37 this year. With my mum, we co-own a 3-rooms flat in Yishun. This flat is fully paid.

Currently, $180K CPF ($140K in OA and $40 in SA), $50K cash and monthly income of $4.2K. After setting aside $65,500 for the prevailing minimum sum in CPF. Do you think is feasible to purchase an unit value at $500,000?

Understand the stamp fees is deductable from CPF. May I find out whether paid 3% stamp fees will be used to offset the total payable amount?
Based on the bank loan interests trend, what is highest it had hike?

Thank you for your advice.

Morning Deschester,

Is your $180k CPF OA inclusive or exclusive of the CPF minimum sum?
Are you SC or PR?
Let's assume that your $180k is not inclusive of the CPF minimum sum, you have about $110k + $50k. This makes up more than 20% of $500k. The only concern is how much mortgage loan you can get as you need $340k loan.
Being SC, you are allowed to purchase 2 properties, without paying for the addition buyer's stamp duty. The standard stamp fee is exclusive of the purhcase price.
As to how the bank interest rate will hike, nobody can give a definitely answer.

Do feel free to contact me if you require further assistance.
