Asked by
I have bought a condo on my own in 2011 before I met my fiancée hence the loan is by myself. We are looking at purchasing another property 1 brm condo for investment purpose. My questions is if we were to purchase another property and want to take up the 80% loan, my understanding is the bank loan have to be under my fiancée name only. I need advise if I can still use my existing CPF of $30k in combination with my fiancée $120k CPF to purchase another property while the balance loan with bank will be taken under my fiancée name? Will CPF board allow me to utilize my CPF? I heard there is some minimum sum need to be kept in CPF before I can purchase 2nd property, is this true? What will be the minimum sum if this is true? The new property if purchase with my name included, are we still qualifying for 80% loan despite the bank loan is taken by my fiancée?

Hi Owyong,

CPF Minimum Sum

If the second mortgage is under both you and your fiancee's names, you will need to have $69,500 in your CPF (OA+SA) accounts. Anything in excess, you can use it to pay for your second property.

Your fiancee can use all her OA account monies to pay for her first property.

Mortgage Loan

If the loan is under both you and your fiancee's names, the maximum loan is only 60% as you are currently paying for your first mortgage loan.

If the loan is solely under your fiancee, she can borrow up to 80%.

Thanks!

Afternoon Owyong,

If the next purchase is under both names, both of you can only take up to 60% if loan tenure does not exceed retirement age of 65 years old (because you have an existing housing loan).

Both of you can utilise your CPF OA (provided you keep a minimum amount of $69.5k in CPF OA+SA)

If the purchase is under your fiancee's name, she is able to take up to 80% loan if loan tenure does not exceed retirement age and she is able to utilise all her CPF OA. You are unable to utilise your OA if property is purchased solely under her name.

Hope it helps!

Cheers!

Enjoy this festive season.

Warmest Regards,
