Asked by
I just got married and is shortlisted to select a BTO flat. Currently, I am a co-owner of a fully paid HDB with my mum. I will need to transfer my ownership to her in order to buy another but will require to topup my cpf+interest I have use for this existing flat since my mum already retired and got no monies doing so. This pose a problem for me since without topping up, cpf board will not release my existing cpf to finance for my new flat even if my existing cpf is sufficient to payup for my bto. Can I obtain HDB loan for this? Any suggestion or way out?

Hi Alan,

For you to withdraw your name from the HDB that you co-owned with your mother, you must refund to CPF+Accured Interest on the amount that you had paid towards the property.

Your mother will be the eventual sole owner of this HDB flat, and she can either use her CPF monies (if any), or using CASH to repay this amount.

This amount will then be refunded back to your CPF-OA, and you can use it to pay for your new HDB flat.

You cannot have an interest in 2 HDB flats, in this case, having your CPF funds in both the flats.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to understand more on your case and provide the best possible solutions for you.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen

Dear BTO Buyer,

Re: Today’s SG Professional Choice- SGAgent.com & SGRealtor.com

Since the BTO, you can loan up to 90%. You and your spouse shall have no issues to pay the 10% using CPF.

Sometimes, it really simple if you can use cash to payback your CPF used for the existing flat to enable your mum wholly ownership regardless her status is housewife.

    Yes, I fully agreed that the easy way out is to use cash. However, we prefer to keep some cash for rainy day. Thus exploring if there are other alternative like using HDB loan for this. Are u aware?
Hi Alan,

Unfortunately with current policies, if your mum is not employed and can't take a loan, you have to use cash in this case to remove yourself from the ownership of the hdb, to refund the cpf utilized+accrued interest back to your account.

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,

Morning,

For the transfer of ownership, your mother would be the intended party to buy over your share on the unit. Hence she will need to obtain mortgage from Bank or HDB loan which is currently not possible or both of you have to prepare cash for it.
