Asked by
Hi. I am a going-to-be single mum. My salary is $3000, my OA balance is approx $35000 and my used CPF for my current house (owned with spouse) is approx $80000, inclusive of accrued interest. I am sure I am unable to buy over my current house as the monthly installment is over $1k.

Qns:
1. What kind of hdb pricing can I afford to purchase next?
2. Am I able to purchase a 4-room hdb?
3. Do I have to top up cash?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Nanny,

I would be most glad to assist you further and please feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, are both of you in the midst of selling the existing flat?

    Not in the midst of selling the existing flat yet. Please let me know the answers to my questions here. Let me know the overview. Thanks.
Dear Nanny,

I am sorry to hear about the situation. Have you already gotten the final judgement or court order to sell the flat as well as how the split of the proceeds will go?

Without knowing your age, we will also be unable to determine how much loan can you take, but with $115,000 in CPF funds after the funds are returned back to your account after the sale of current flat and assuming that your age is 40 years old currently, you will be eligible to take up to $170,000 loan, therefore if we combine this amount with your existing CPF funds, it is quite likely that you are unable to consider 4room flat. Quite likely will be a slightly old 3 room resale HDB instead. If your current unit is on HDB loan and you will be taking a 2nd HDB loan, 50% of your allocated sales proceeds needs to be used for the purchased unit based on regulations. As of now, because of the several uncertain factors, we are unable to advise further.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

Good morning Nanny,

Sorry to hear about your ongoing situation.

Which stage is your divorce proceedings at? Interim or you gotten final judgement?

As of now, your estimated HLE amount is around $189k based on your income and if you are 40 years old and below.

If you sell your existing HDB, you will have an estimated CPF OA amount of $115k.

You most likely wont be eligible to purchase a 4RM based on these 2 figures unless we have an idea how much sales proceed will you be getting if you sell existing HDB after divorce.

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

YT Tan
