Hi,

It depends on the age of the marine parade flat you have identified, most balance lease are below 60 years which means there are some potential restriction on the CPF usage. 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.

Warm Regards,

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship.

Our unit comes with its challenges but Ivan remained positive and had no qualms committing to our plans right from the start. It took only 6 weeks of aggressive marketing for him to secure a good offer which was a pleasant surprise in the end.

Ivan was always responsive and we had no worries to pass him the house keys. The whole process was transparent and hassle free, and he was always thinking from our point of view on how to make life easier for the client. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered the enquiries on property guru website.

He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked.

When it comes to selling of our unit, he was always prompt in arranging for viewings and he also tried his best to arrange and consolidate the viewings due to our time constraints. He is a reliable and prompt agent and is always willing to clarify any concerns and questions that we have.

Thanks Ivan! :)

Hi Sir,

Thank you for your query.
With regards to your CPF usage , could you enlighten me on which blocks you are targeting as it is primarily affected by the balance lease of the flats. The older the flats (lesser balance lease), the greater the restriction on CPF use. In such cases involving both the sales and purchase, you might want to be advised throughly on the procedural framework , understand the financial timeline as well as draw up a financial plan with succinct calculations to further enhance your understand. Do contact me for a non obligatory preliminary discussion as to how you could proceed with your plans. A professional outlook and insight to the market could value add the process and at the same time, you could understand more on the pricing based on the customised sales transaction report and caveats for you.

Where words do fall short, I would let me accolades and testimonials speak for my dedication and experience in this industry for the past 20 years. Please visit my website : www.kumarrai.com for all the up to date awards, testimonials and accolades. Thank you very much!

Good day Sir / madam .

Yes you can use up all your cpf balance in your cpf ordinary account to pay for your hdb after setting aside the cpf minimum sum.

You are allowed to pay the hdb in full cpf because of your seniority in age, other younger buyers will face restrictions such as a cap or ceiling with their cpf to pay for very old hdb .

Kindly contact me joanne chia hp 8333 3327  for a no-obligations chat for your property needs.

May i offer my services at a charge of 1% commission for exclusive ( sole agent ) selling rights to your property or 2% for open listing ( many agent ) .

Dear Sir/Mdm,

After you sell your private condo, the CPF plus accrual interests that you have utilised for the property will be refunded into your CPF account. Since you have already reached the age of 55 and you have already set aside the minimum sum amount, the refunded cpf will be credited into your bank account as cash.

As for the purchase of the marine parade flat, you can pledge up to 50% of your minimum sum towards the purchase. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with further assistance!

Regards,

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients (2016/2017)
“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”

Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations.
We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”
Susana (Buyer)

“Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!”

Hi,

1. Due to your senority of age. The CPF withdrawal limit for property less than 60 years does not affect you. However, do note for those under 30 years will not allow any withdrawal of CPF for the purchase.

2. You have to notify CPF before selling off your private property you need the CPF to make the next purchase. This is to ensure CPF board will not retain any amount to fulfill "Full Retirement Sum" or "Enhanced Full Retirement Sum".

3. If the sales proceed received is insufficient for the next purchase, you will need to take note of loan tenure is 65-current age. Any loan beyond 65 yrs old shall restrict the loan amount.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.
