Asked by
I’m a PR and my wife is SG citizen with a SG citizen baby.I was doing a full time job since Oct 2019 until Sep 2022 And doing odd jobs since Sep 2022. My wife is doing a home based online business. (Self employer)
We have applied a sales of balance flat in May 2022. We had the 1st appointment in Sep 2022 and booked the flat.
I applied an HLE in May 2022. But I was told to apply again in Sep 2022 during the 1st appointment. Since my salary dropped sharply, HDB didn’t extend the HLE for me.

I just wanted to know will this affect my EHG application. Must I loan from HDB to have the EHG?

Hi,

1) Both the bank and HDB are using the same calculation method to determine your loan amount. Thus you will not get a higher loan amount even applying for a mortgage loan from the bank.
2) Since your combined income had dropped you should be able to get a higher EHG from the govt. Your EHG is not tied together with the HDB loan, it is considered separately.
3) Therefore it is not necessary to get a loan from the HDB to receive the EHG.
4) In your situation, HLE is still a better option compared to a bank loan. You should already be aware that you could still get up to 80% LTV from the HDB compared to 75% LTV from the banks.
5) You are also able to use CPF for all the 20% downpayment using an HLE. Whereas if using a bank loan you will need to cough out another 5% cash + 20% CPF for the 25% downpayment when using a bank loan.

Dear sir/

EHG is not tied to what loan you take therefore depending on the household income bracket, your EHG amount maybe increased. You are still able to take up bank loan, but the calculations or assessment considerations are the same as HDB loan. In fact you will need to cough up more cash up front for bank loan.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.
