We are SPR. We are looking for the 5i HDB near to Redhill or Tiong Bahru MRT. How much cash we need to prepare? Does the COV still applicable to these area? If we fulfill the 3 years SPR status by May 2017, when we can start to pay the deposit for the option to purchase?

Afternoon Cynthia,

SPR couples are only eligible to ink the OTP upon fulfilling 3 years holding of the SPR status. Hence, it is currently too early to talk about it.
Cash above valuation is still applicable for some of the units within Redhill and Tiong Bahru area, especially for those high floor and unblocked units, younger units and those bigger units. As for how much cash is required, it would depends on how much CPF fund both of you have and how much loan both of you are eligible for.

Hi,

In popular mature estates such as Redhill & Tiong Bahru, for units with good attributes COV is pretty difficult to avoid. For SPRs, both need to acquire SPR status for at least 3 years each before they can buy hdb. Hence you might want to wait until Apr 2017 or so before exploring again. Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans further.

Warm Regards,

Good morning Cynthia,

SPR household must fulfill SPR status of 3 years first before both of you are eligible to purchase a resale HDB and ink on the OTP. You can start househunting perhaps 2 to 3 weeks before fulfillment of 3 years cause you will definitely suffer heartache if you like the unit but cant purchase the unit.

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

1) 5% cash downpayment
2) 15% CPF or cash downpayment
3) estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty
4) 5% additional buyer's stamp duty as SPR
5) $2k legal fees
6) $80 resale application fee
7) $200 valuation fee
8) 1% of purchase price plus 7% GST as agent commissionm
9) pro rated property tax etc

Your cash outlay will depends how much CPF OA funds do you have and whether do you need to fork out COV. Usually for prime location like redhill/ tiong bahru areas, you might need to fork out COV due to floor level, location, facing etc.

Hope my explanation helps!
