Hey Gurus, I am planning to sell my home. Based on HDB latest transaction, I can fetch up to $430,000 (inclusive of COV). I have less than $70K mortgage. Intend to upgrade to condo. Saw listings for Woodsvale and Northoaks and am interested to get 3bdrm unit. Question is, since I intend to sell and buy the condo, will i be able to get up to 80% or 60% loan? I have no issues on the deposit, stamp duties and legal fees portion as have ard. $80K savings with my wife. My current CPF before selling my home is $15K (as using only my name for mortgage) but my wife is at $78K so far. Total would be $170K without selling my current HDB. Was thinking if a bridging loan is a good choice to use if assuming my upfront is not enough and a top up is needed. Thanks for your time.

Evening,

The pricing for 3 bedroom for in Northoaks and Woodsvale ranges from $850k to $1.49 mil, depending on size, facing and level. Assuming you are getting a unit at $900k, 20% would be $180k.

If you do not sell your current unit which is still under mortgage, you can only get 60% loan. This would then result in requirement of $360k. Therefore, it would be prudent to work out on your financial before deciding on what's the best method for you to move on with. Upgrading of property is a good move but don't fail to plan.

Do feel free to contact me for further discussion.

Dear sir,

Having sold a 3 bedroom unit in Woodsvale earlier this year to a family similar to your situation, the main consideration if ou definitely require a bridging loan will be to have sold your HDB with the buyers having exercised their OTP to qualify. This was what my buyers for The Woodsvale unit did back then. Nevertheless, I'd like to caution that this arrangement is not by default therefore will be subjected for eligibility assessment by the financial institution of choice.

With an excellent track record in North, I believe I am able to assist you in the sale and purchase transaction. Let meknow how I may get in touch with you and share more finer details about handling such transactions smoothly, on top of sharing some information on what you may do to try achieve better valuation which I normally share with my exclusive HDB clients.

Hi Sir,

Firstly, you need consider whether if you have any alternative place to stay during the transition.

If you have a place to stay temporarily, say for 3 months. I suggest that you sell your HDB first and then buy the condo. In this way you can loan up to 80% and save on the interest for bridging loan.

If you don’t have any temporarily place to stay, I thought taking bridging loan will be a better option. In this way, you will still be able to get 80% loan but you may have to pay some interest for the bridging loan. Generally, the completion time for HDB is longer than private condo, therefore, if we time the transaction properly, you should be able to move into the condo in time before completion of your HDB.

Hope that I had answered your question.

I will be glad if you could give me an opportunity if you need a salesperson to assist you.

Thanks and Regards
