If Hfe approved and successful in unit selection. But after unit selection decided to go self employed/ change of job, will there be an reassessment of income or current project will be forfeited due to loan? Confused as not sure HFE reassessment is automated or by request only. Can we also reassess when its closer to key collection since it takes about 3-4 years and by then we can submit 2 years NOA. Any similar cases (change of income after HFE)

Hi, yes it will be assessed closer to the key collection date if there are a big change in income, and no it will not be forfeited.

This concern should be minimised, since it is not HDB's objective to stop the buyers from having their income increase over the next 2-3 years after the BTO flat selection. Read More

Hi,

1) Changes in income are common over a period of 3~4 years timing.
2) The HDB will request the buyers to update their income nearer to the key collection. The loan might increase following the increment of the household income if needed.
3) The HDB will have the final explanation and decision on isolated cases when the household income exceeds the income ceiling of eligibility.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

HDB Loan Reassessment After Unit Selection

Generally, HDB doesn't reassess your income after you've been approved for an HDB loan and selected your unit, unless:

You Inform HDB: You proactively inform HDB about a significant change in your income or employment status (e.g., becoming self-employed).
Red Flags During Processing: If red flags arise during loan processing (e.g., a bank alert about defaults), HDB might request updated documents.
So, changing jobs or becoming self-employed after unit selection shouldn't automatically trigger a reassessment. However, it's important to consider the following:

Maintaining Loan Eligibility: You'll still need to meet the income requirements to qualify for the loan when it's time to collect the keys (usually 3-4 years later).
Financial Stability: Ensure your new income stream can comfortably support the loan repayments.
Reassessment Options:

HDB Doesn't Reassess Automatically: As mentioned, HDB doesn't automatically reassess your income closer to key collection.
Option for Reassessment: If your income has significantly increased and you want to potentially qualify for a higher loan amount, you can approach HDB for a loan re-assessment closer to key collection. This might involve submitting your latest Notice of Assessment (NOA) for the past 2 years.
Recommendation:

Transparency with HDB: It's always best to be transparent with HDB. If your employment situation changes significantly, consider informing them proactively. They can advise you on the best course of action.
Similar Cases:

Unfortunately, there's no way to access specific details on similar cases due to privacy concerns. However, the general principle is that HDB focuses on your income eligibility at the time of key collection.

Remember: It's crucial to maintain financial stability throughout the process. If you have any concerns about your ability to afford the loan repayments, consult HDB or a financial advisor for guidance.
