- Total Budget = $110,000 + $274,900 + $35,070 (or $42,900)
- Total Budget = **$419,970 (or $426,900)**

- **Using Maximum Loan**:

- Total Budget = $110,000 + $385,900 + $35,070 (or $42,900)

### 5. **Summary of Estimated Budget**

Just by the above information provided, it seems that your options will be more of 4 room flats instead of 5 room flat, without factoring in your existing cash on hand that can be put into this purchase on top of the lease balance that you should consider, as your age will also be a factor for the flat type.

Rough worked out amount on the flat you should be looking at is to look at choices under $580k to be comfortable. Again, this is just an estimate. You will need to work out the calculations as well as the monthly instalment you need to commit to. Read More

Hi, based on the numbers you provided, the total amount of CPF you have is $77,970. Adding on the maximum loan amount as well as grants, it adds up to $603k for 4 room and $573k for 5room. However, this does not take into account the amount needed for other expenses such as buyer stamp duty, lawyers fees and more. For example, a 580k unit will cost $12,000 in buyer stamp duty, coupled with lawyer fees, valuation fee of $120, as well as renovation, which will be a sum of money as you are planning for it to be a forever home.

Based on numbers shared, buy price budget approximately $530k assuming you don't intend to use cash savings as top up, and also because part of the cpf needs to be used for stamp duty and legal fees.

Buyer

Mr Wang & Ms Ng : We want to convey our thanks to Ivan, who helped us find our first home. Ivan was very responsive when we first met, and took time to understand our needs and requirements for our first home. He helped us narrow down our criteria and gave us good advice on how to structure our mortgage as well. He also made a great recommendation of an area we never thought of, and it was where we eventually bought our home. We appreciate Ivan's thoroughness in pros and cons of all our options that we viewed. We never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision. In fact, Ivan gave honest and useful inputs on the considerations of acting immediately or waiting. All in all, it was a very smooth experience and we ate very happy with the unit we bought. Thank you very much, Ivan! Read More
