Asked by
I owned a 4-room HDB with my parents as co-owners and bought this flat 14 years ago (as of 2025). It is my first time buying a HDB. We took up a bank loan as my parents were not eligible for HDB loan. Because of the monthly repayment for this flat, my CPF OA is very low now. I have less than 10k in OA account. The monthly was deducted through my OA. Can i ask,

1) If i sell this house, how do my parents get back their CPF that was contributed a lump sum of 10k each to their account when my OA is low? Through the sales proceed of our house?

2) If i manage to sell the house, Can i buy a resale hdb for my new house with my fiancee (who does not have CPF contribution as she does not work) even when my OA is low? and using bank loan? Because i am aware i will no longer be eligible for HDB loan.

3) If i manage to buy a resale HDB, Can my fiancee still be co-owner of the flat?

The calculation is as such:

Cash proceeds from sales is derived from selling price of your property, minusing off your outstanding loan and subsequently minusing off the CPF monies used for this property plus its accrued interest. The latter amount will be refunded back to your CPF so if you parents have also used their CPF monies for this flat, this amount will also go back to their account.

You will be eligible to purchase another resale HDB with your fiancee and your CPF monies maybe utilised for the purchase, depending on your age as well. You may still be eligible to purchase the flat using HDB loan as you have not used any HDB loan before, unless your parents will also be co-owners for the next purchase. Is your fiancee a Singapore Citizen or PR?
