Asked by
I sold my BTO last year due to divorce. Currently looking to buy a resale HDB with my partner and I understand that HDB has this clause whereby if I am taking a 2nd HDB Concessionary Loan, I will only get to keep only 50% of the cash proceeds, or S$25,000, whichever is higher from the sale of my previous flat.

May I know how is this going to affect my partner and I if we still want to take up a HDB loan? She is a first-timer. Is 50% of my cash proceeds needed as an upfront payment or, will this amount be deducted from my HLE to reduce my loan amount?

Hi

A very good day to you and Peace be upon you.

Yes you are right. It is HDB regulation that they will take 50% of your cash proceeds. ahowever you may want to try to appeal.

I can help you with the appeal and can also do a financial calculation so it will be easier for u to plan ahead.

do contact me should you require assistance.

Best regards

Hi Sir,

If you’re using HDB loan for the 2nd time, 50% of the cash proceed from previous sale will have to go back into your CPF OA account. Your partner is still able to use housing grants since she is a first time buyer. You may use the remaining 50% cash proceed to pay for your new flat to avoid accrued interest in your CPF. You may contact me for complimentary assessment so I can understand your needs better.
