Hi,

Yes if the bank cannot disburse the monies in time when its called upon by the Developer, they have the right to charge for late interest payment. You need to secure a buyer within 6 months before key collection to EC.

Its will be good to start marketing the place early if your unit is in a location with many competitors. I have done similar sales with urgent timelines before and will be glad to assist.

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,

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered the enquiries on property guru website.

He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked.

When it comes to selling of our unit, he was always prompt in arranging for viewings and he also tried his best to arrange and consolidate the viewings due to our time constraints. He is a reliable and prompt agent and is always willing to clarify any concerns and questions that we have.

Thanks Ivan! :)

--- HDB Flat Sellers Mr. Hayum and Ms. Azizah ---

Ivan has justified our faith in appointing him as our Exclusive Agent. He transacted our unit at 620k, above valuation & highest price ever achieved for our block, within 2 months.

In a slow market, you need a proactive & committed agent who puts the extra effort. Besides advertising in papers & online intensively, he also had personally distributed flyers & spoke to potential buyers in neighboring blocks to increase exposure. Every week there were viewings & feedback.

He actually secured 2 attractive offers but assessed that the 2nd one will be a more smooth transaction. We're glad to have proceeded with his advice for a successful completion. Throughout he was professional and responsive. We wish him a great career and will be happy to recommend his services Read More

Dear Mr Dragon Fly,

Yes, bank will impose a penalty charge if you can't disburse the CPF on time.

With the current resale market situation, it really depends on the time frame to sell your existing HDB unit.

I understand you might have a concern on "where should I stay after the sale of your HDB".

I think the best will be having a meet up session with you directly to go through the time line, like when your EC is going to be available etc. so that I can give you the appropriate advice cos there are various scenarios that I can offer to you.

Feel free to drop me a whatapps or text message at 96921366  to go through a proper planning on the next course of property action.

Thanks.

Yours sincerely

Hi, as per what my other colleagues had shared, you may want to make plans to start marketing your HDB unit so as to avoid the bank penalty charges. As the market is on a down trend, it would also take a longer than usual period to have it sold.

Hi Sir,

I have assisted my clients who are in a similar situation to sell off their HDBs and upgrade to an EC while on a bridging loan.

With an intensive marketing campaign, you will be able to sell off your HDB within 3 months which I did for my clients, thereby minimizing their interests on the bridging loan.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can share with you on how I consistently help my clients to achieve the highest selling price within the shortest time!

Dear Dragon,
Good day to you!

I have a existing hdb flat and I've bought a EC. Other than the loan I took from the bank (say $500k) I've also a bridging loan (say $100k) with the bank to make up the shortfall.
> Noted. To be eligible for a bridging loan, the bank will require an option to purchase. For this, this implies proper workout timeline eg. how soon is the keys expected to be collected and where will you be staying when flat is sold. I will usually address such personal concerns before the best timeline is worked on together with the owners.

My qn is I need the cpf from the sales of my current hdb flat to pay for the shortfall. What if I can't sell off my hdb flat in time for that to happen and the bank can't disbursed the loan when req by the developer. Will the developer imposed a penalty for late collection of keys just because I can't sell off my current flat and make payment to them (I'm in defer payment scheme) ?? Thanks in advance.
> On general basis, the reply is yes. A late interest will be imposed but how much will it imposed? This will also link to the above questions upon detailed discussion.

Have a good day ahead and hope it answers your queries. For further information you require, feel free to drop me a call or message at :
