I understand the 20% upfront cash/CPF with 80% bank loan (eligible). My question - that I have sufficient min under my special account of $65k+ - can I and my wife use the excess from Special account to combine with the balances from the Ordinary Account to pay for the 20% upfront ? Thanks for advising

Morning,

You sound like you dont have any outstanding housing loan and preparing to buy second/ subsequent housing.

Sad to say, even though you have sufficient amount in your SA to meet the required minimum sum of $69,500. You are NOT allowed to use the excess amount (after setting aside $69.5k) to fund your property purchase.

ONLY funds in ordinary account can be utilised for the 15%, remaining 5% will be in cash if you are able to obtain a 80% bank loan.

I hope I have solved your doubts.

Feel free to contact me if any.

Warmest Regards,

Evening,

Under the current ruling, only OA can be used to purchase residential properties, providing the necessary terms are met. Of the 20% downpayment, 5% must be cash and the balance 15% from OA and/or cash.
