Asked by
I am looking to get a resale. Say the price is 800K.

Though I can get a loan of 80%, I do not wish to take up the max loan amount of 640K. Say I take 70%, this amounts to 560K.

Does that mean the Balance Purchase Price (I am assuming this means whatever that is not covered by the HDB Loan) is now 30%? Since I am taking a HDB Loan, I believe I need to pay a downpayment of 20%, and this can be financed by either cash or CPF or a combination of both.

My question is what about the remaining 10%? Do I pay it upfront together with the downpayment and what are the modes of financing this?

Hi, the remaining 10% can be either CPF or Cash, I am assuming you wish to finance a smaller loan amount, this is also something that is encouraged by the government. As long as you have the means to, you can pay any amount in CPF and Cash initially and opt to cover only the rest through HDB loan.

    Hi, for the 30%, it will depend on whether it is cpf or cash, cpf will be deducted when you submit the confirmation of your financial plan through the HDB resale portal, at this point you will have decided the loan amount you want to take. So the remaining of the 30% that you are paying in cash will be at the resale completion date, which is when you collect the keys. Prior to resale completion you only need to pay the option fee of 1k and exercise fee of 4k usually. Do reach out to me if you have more queries.

    Hi, thank you for the reply.

    Just a confirmation, I pay 30% upfront (I guess it will be staggered at the signing of Agreement for Lease and collection of keys)

    Q1. Am I right to say that this additional 10% is to be payed upfront together with the downpayment of 20%?
    Q2. If the answer to Q1 is yes, do I get to choose which stage of of the 2 phased payment process to pay the additional 10%?

    Thank you!
Hi,

Yes this balance 10% has to be funded in cash or CPF OA, can't take loan for that if you decide to go with 70% hdb loan instead. So your down payment is 30%. If its in cash, it needs to be in a cashier order lump sum typically payable to HDB at completion. Suggest to fully max out the loan first. You can always decide to do partial redemption of hdb loan later and hdb typically does not charge extra fees for that. Do also remember approx 3% buyer stamp duties is payable as well on top of purchase price.

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

Assuming that you are taking minimal loan as you have mentioned, your up front payments will be the amount up to $5,000 paid directly to the seller as well as stamp duty. Balance payment, it will be payable upon completion of the purchase, thus, if you are only taking 70% loan, the balance 30% will be paid for on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyer will make arrangements for drawing of CPF funds for the purchase with the balance as cash in cashier's order form to be paid during completion. Do take note that you will also be required to reimburse the sellers for the property tax paid on a pro rated basis.

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by
your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several
agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling
the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole
dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a
trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would
gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation
should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and
looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will
certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our
neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed
potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the
process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very
thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and
recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--

Yvonne (New launch buyer)

--Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was
also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a
first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and
answer questions we had--
