Hi, can I check what do you mean by that? HDB grants are given to you in the form of CPF, and when you purchase the next resale unit, there will be resale levy applicable .

Good morning Kelly,
Care to share what do you mean?
Grants are usually disbursed to buyer's OA. When its a possible sale, utilised CPF OA funds will be refunded to buyer's OA.
Hope my sharing aids in your property needs. Do contact me if you need any assistance.

Hi Kelly,
There is no need to return the grants as once the grants are given to you, they will be deposited into your CPF and its considered your money. During the sale of the flat, the grants will be refunded together with the accrual interests back into your CPF account and you may reuse this amount when you purchase another unit.
Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your concerns and provide you with further assistance.
Regards,
Nick Tan

Testimonial from my Clients
Nick was introduced to me by a friend who learned that my previous property agent wasn’t meeting my expectations. During our first phone call, Nick quickly grasped my concerns and provided a detailed financial plan the next day. Since switching to Nick, selling my house has been much more relaxed. His virtual tour and informative fact sheet eliminated the need for my family and me to be constantly present for viewings by unsuitable buyers.
Nick was invaluable in purchasing my next property. He sourced units within my budget and analysed price trends of condo projects I was interested in. With Nick’s assistance, the buying process was seamless, and he expertly coordinated the sale of my current unit with the purchase of the next. Kudos to Nick for his outstanding service and advice!

During Nick’s presentation to us, he showed confidence and resourcefulness. He showed us his various methods of reaching out to potential buyers instead of just relying on Propertyguru. He also saw the potential of our home to sell at our projected price. Where other agents deem impossible to achieve, he did his analysis and deems it reasonable and achievable. Nick proves trustworthy. From time to time, Nick will update us on the progress and on any viewing. He will filter buyers who could not meet our asking price and provide update and advice on the offers. We are grateful that he helps us to negotiate for a good price for our home. In summary, Nick is dedicated, resourceful, trustworthy and willing to take challenges.

Selling our house was a pretty stressful ordeal, as we have already committed to buying our new home and hence have a timeline to meet. Losing a substantial deposit and worse still, not getting our dream home caused many sleepless nights as we are nearing our deadline. I am very glad we have decided to switch to Nick and seek his help after the dismal performance of our first agent. Not only is Nick very patient in explaining things to us, time and time again he gives us reassurance to allay our worries. And he walked his talk.
With his help, we finally managed to sell our unit at a price within our expectations, before the deadline. Nick’s service is top notch – he is knowledgeable in his field, swift to respond, easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating.
Thank you very much once again Nick, for this smooth transaction!

Hi,
HDB Grants are deposited into your CPF OA at the point of purchase, and it is probably used to pay the stamp duty or fund downpayment. The above forms part of the CPF utilized + accrued interest for the flat, and it needs to be refunded to your CPF OA account upon sale using your sale price. So you will be required to refund your own CPF on this upon sale. You cannot "volunteer" to return the grant to unwind the second timer status unfortunately. But you can use cash to voluntarily refund the CPF utilized for the existing property.
Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395 for a more in-depth discussion :)
May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

What do you mean by volunteer to return HDB grant? Are you indicating that you wish to return the housing grants back to government such that you will still be considered as a 1st timer?

Geryl LimRepliednot sure of your intentions in doing so. If you are intending to go for 2nd BTO, resale levy will be applicable (similar to returning of the grants received). Otherwise there is no need to return. If the intention is to reset your count as a 1st timer, I don't think this is possible.
