Asked by
I have recently sold my flat and would be getting a resale flat. However, the bank loan and my current CPF balance (before refund of CPF money from sales proceed of current flat) is below is price i bought the new flat. However, when the funds are in after the transaction of my current flat is complete, i would have sufficient fund. Question here is, when HDB is accessing my eligibility to purchase the resale flat, would they take into consideration the projected refund from the sales of my current flat? or does my current CPF balance + bank loan be taken into consideration only? I have a lead-time of about 3 weeks meaning that i sold my current flat 3 weeks before and had only thereafter exercise the option for the resale flat.

Hi,

1) The HDB only assesses your eligibility according to the eligibility schemes listed. This has nothing to do with your available funds.
2) Once you successfully register your intent to buy, it implied you are eligible to make a purchase of an HDB flat.
3) I hope there is someone who helps to time your selling and purchase properly. Because your timing is very tight between funds return and pay for the new purchase.
4) Since you are taking a loan from the bank, it means that you are engaging a private lawyer to do your legal conveyance.
5) You have to ensure your current CPF funds are sufficient for the buyer stamp duty otherwise you have to prepare to pay in cash. Because you have to pay the buyer stamp duty within 14 days once the HDB approves your resale application.
6) You will only need to pay your down payment roughly 3 weeks before the completion. If you have difficulty with this down payment, you have to highlight to your lawyer to make necessary arrangements so that your return funds can be in on time for this payment.
7) Any late return funds will affect the completion date to be delayed or even rejected by the HDB. You might land yourself with a lawsuit if this is not properly handled.
