Asked by
Recently I brought a EC and sold my HDB flat. I am now in dilemma as my HDB flat was sold very late thus we used cash to pay for the 15% payment thus we didn't earn any profit from the sale of our flat. I am now considering not to proceed with our purchase of the EC but it will result in forfeiting of our 5% deposit which is about $24K and cancellation of our bank loan $2.8K. Can any kind soul advise whether I should proceed to cancel my EC purchase or just carry on and hope that after 5 years when we sell our EC, we can make a profit by then. If we cancel our purchase of our EC, we will rent a HDB flat to stay till we get BTO but it again depends on our luck whether we can get it soon or not.

Hi,

For immediate halting of your purchase, you will faced significant losses and this losses cannot be recoup by:
(a) renting a flat
(b) buying a BTO.

On top of that, you will also penalized by HDB for cancelling the EC purchase. Thus reduce your chance of getting BTO.

Though cannot guarantee you will gain profit upon MOP of your EC. But according to current observation on property trend, the past few years including 2017 were the best time to buy.
2018 has been forecast by Morgan Stangley and many property expert the rise in property will not be less than 5%.
Although we also cannot guarantee these forecast will come true nor it will rise like in 2006, but the future definitely looks bright with the following events in 2017:
(1) GLS (Government Land Sales) has hit record high
(2) En-Bloc hits record high
(3) World eco rise more than 3% in 2017.
(4) Share market is still rising

Even if there is a major event, lets say "Black Monday" where share market falls. The whole event will not last long, 2008 decline only last for 6 months. 1998 last 18 months, 1988 last 12 months.
You will still see property market rise higher than now for the next 5 years.

HI,

I can really understand how you feel from what you have shared. To be honest, I will never encourage you to give up your EC now.From what I see, you could be penalised more than what you have stated in your post.

What I can suggest is that you can give me a call and I can advise you further on that. I will also share my reasons on why I do not recommend you to give it up. No worries as there are no obligations at all. We can just take it as a chat and I can just offer whatever advice I can to answer your queries.

Looking forward to hear from you soon! Cheers!
