Good morning Ms,

Both of you have to purchase under non citizen spouse scheme as you are a foreigner while hubby is Singaporean.

For loan assessment, only your hubby's income will be taken into consideration.

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

YT Tan

    Afternoon Eva,

    I understand your frustation. Reason being why your income is not taken into consideration is that you are only an essential occupier and not an owner. It's a requirement that if you are married, you need to include your spouse (Singaporean, SPR or foreigner) in the application. Be it essential occupier or owner. Foreigner cant own public housing, minimally has to be a SPR. Even he decides to apply for bank loan, your income will still not be taken into account.

    Alternatively would to opt for a private housing, in this way your income will be taken into consideration as a co owner. There will not be any additional buyer's stamp duty be payable as in the eyes of IRAS, the purchase will be your matrimonial home.

    Hi, thank you for your reply; it confirmed my fears. Do you happen to know why my income cannot be considered for the loan? I can't find an answer online as to why he has to apply as a single unit with an occupier when I'm his legal wife, residing in Singapore (and that I happen to earn more than him).

    We are looking for a 3 to 4-bedroom HDB, and the loan offered by HDB is ridiculously low. Can he apply for a bank loan and an HDB loan? Since, clearly, I don't exist and don't matter in SG that would be our only option. Or is it one or the other? Are there other loan options that can be cumulated?

    Thank you!
Hi there, accordingly to your situation, you guys should be buying under the foreign spouse scheme, where you husband is the owner and you the essential occupier. your income will not be taken into consideration when applying for HDB home loan. it would be best if you guys can apply for a HLE via HDB or talk to a banker to determine your loan amount before you start your search. do drop me a text or call for a more detail breakdown on the finances and timeline for your intended purchase.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and please feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, nope and only your husband could apply for HDB loan and you can’t.
