We are both SPRs and will reach 3 year soon. We have around $130K in our CPF OA and have been looking to buy a resale unit at $620K. How much cash do we need to prepare for down payment, stamp duty, legal and all other fees?

Hi,

Typical breakdown for SPR 1st property purchase as follows:
Cash 5%
Cpf 15%
Max bank loan 80%
Stamp duties (BSD+ABSD) and legal fees approx 8%
Agent commission 1%+GST
COV (if any)

Figures and timeline will vary depending on the purchase you made eventually. For a professional and hassle free process and to get a good price, it will be ideal to engage a buy-side agent. May I understand your requirements further so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your plans further.

Warm Regards,

Good afternoon buyers,

If you are able to obtain max 80% bank loan, your initial outlay will be as such:

1) 5% cash downpayment
2) 15% CPF/ cash downpayment
3) estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty
4) 5% additional buyer's stamp duty as SPR
5) $3k legal fees
6) $200 valuation fee
7) $80 resale submission fee
8) $500 mortgage stamp duty
9) 1% agent commission plus 7% GST etc

Usually law firm will advise you to pay stamp duties in cash first because CPF board might not release the funds within 2 weeks to IRAS.

You might need around $90k based on estimation.

Hi

I have read the responses from the other fellow agents and they have given you a comprehensive advice on the expenses.

Have served mainly SPR/SPR buyers and most time the ABSD can be paid through CPF. The timeline to complete will likely to be about 4-5 months from option date.

You may call 9620 0827  or email to gavin.ng@orangetee.com if you have further questions.
