Asked by
I am currently an owner of a flat and I'm interested to buy an EC.

I have met the requirements for MOP. However, I still have a outstanding balance of $100,000 for my flat.

I understand that to buy an EC, you need to pay a downpayment of 20%. My wife and I have about $80,000 in our CPF OA and we have about $35,000 in cash, which is short of the 20%.

Does this mean that we have to sell the HDB first before buying the EC? Is there any other way we can finance the down payment without selling the house first?

Good day to you,

You have made the right choice by going for an EC. The ECs offered in the market right now is the last batch with no resale levy. The 5% cash & 15% cpf is a requirement to purchase an EC.

Although we wont be able to help with the payment, I personally advise you to go for a 2 bedroom unit which is definitely more affordable.

Has anyone helped you to assess your eligibility to purchase yet? If not, I will be glad to assist accordingly.

Cheers,
