Asked by
I'm 26 and my partner is 30 years old this year, we have chanced upon a one bedroom condo that is going to TOP soon in early 2018 and would very much like to go for it. Our combined monthly income is 9K. The unit is estimated at 700K.

There is currently a problem as my partner has a HDB flat jointly owned with his sister. Need to get his name out of the HDB flat and wait for the CPF money to be refunded then we will be able to comfortably pay that 15% downpayment. However, transfer of ownership could only be done under criterias such as marriage.

By the time i rush to get married, wait for the CPF money to return, i'm afraid the unit is already snapped up. Due to all these uncertainty we are holding back to book the option to purchase. Could anyone advise if there is a proper sequence for us to transit smoothly?

Hi,

If you wish to be very safe, its best to wait until his name is out and cpf OA refunded before making the next move. After all, these processing may take longer than expected and can drag for a few months. If not you can try to negotiate a longer timeline to complete with the current seller, they could be receptive at a higher price. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Good evening,

Firstly, in order for your partner to sell his share of the unit to his sister, she must be at least age 35 and above and is financially capable.
Then, it would take about 2 weeks after completion on the part sales before the CPF fund will be returned into his account.
Lastly, it would be good to know who much loan you can secure so as to work on the cash component.

Hi Ms,

Is your partner's sister Singaporean above aged 35? Because if she's not, I'm afraid she will not be able to hold the HDB flat under her sole name.

One way would be for your partner and his sister to sell off the HDB flat, before your partner can have his CPF funds back.

Alternatively, if you have the funds, you may opt to purchase the condo under your Single name.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you and your partner in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
