Asked by
If I would like to upgrade to a EC from my current 5 room flat, may I know the actual cash required and will I be entitled to any grant? Or any levy that I have to pay? My existing flat is my first time purchase from HDB. I still have some outstanding loan from HDB.

Hi,
My input,
1. The initial down payment will be 20%, 5% cash and 15% cash + CPF.
2. As you had enjoyed the subsidy flat in your fist purchase of HDB, no more grant from HDB.
3. Since your current flat was purchase from HDB, purchasing a new EC will incurred resale levy. But you can avoid by choosing EC launched earlier.

To assist and advise you more in details, kindly drop me an email for me to share.

I am contactable at my mobile or email.

Hi,

Typical breakdown for hdb upgrader to EC as follows:
Cash 5%
Cpf 15%
Max bank loan 80%
Stamp duties + legal fees approx 3%

You won't get any grant as a 2nd timer. Resale levy depends on which EC project you purchase, some projects have NO resale levy applicable. If there is, you will be liable for 45k resale levy.

Thanks and may I understand your requirements so to assist on your EC plans? Will be glad to illustrate the financial planning involved. Thanks and let's discuss further.

Warm Regards,

A very good morning upgrader!

The initial outlay of purchasing a new EC is as such if you are able to obtain max 80% bank loan:

1) 5% cash (booking fee)
2) 15% CPF or cash downpayment
3) estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty
4) $2.5k legal fees
5) valuation fee etc

As you had enjoyed a subsidised unit before (HDB purchased directly from HDB), you will not entitled to any grant as a second timer.

There are plenty of new ECs in the market at the moment. You dont have to pay for resale levy for some older projects while have to pay for newer projects. If you have to pay resale levy, the amount will be $45k and it is based on your current 5rm flat.

Hope my explanation helps!

If you need further assistance or advice in your upgrading, feel free to contact me. Cheers!

Warmest Regards,
