Asked by
Hi, I have just completed the payment of the outstanding mortage on our 4-Rm HDB flat. Per all the fliers we get, the valuation is above $525K for apartments sold in this location.

I am now looking into buying a condominium but not looking to sell our HDB residence (prefer to use it to generate a rental income).

I am trying to understanding what are the financing options available to a potential buyer like myself in such a scenario? Is it possible to 'pledge' our HDB flat to offset the loan secured towards purchasing a condo? If so, can I still apply for a mortage loan based on my personal income to finance the purchase of a condo?

I am new to all this so would appreciate any advise that can enlighten me. Thanks!

Hi MSG,

HDB apartments cannot be used as collaterals. However , banks will access your income and offer a loan based on your eligibility and the valuation of the condo/apartment.

Hi MSG,

Since you have no outstanding loan, you are eligible for 80% loan from bank for condo purchase.

You must meet the MOP of 5 years before can purchase condo. By the way, you cannot 'pledge' your HDB flat to offset the loan for condo purchase.

It is best to speak to banker and do AIP (Approval In Principle). They are able to assess how much you can borrow.

Please call me at 96836230  . I am able to connect you to bankers whom i closely work with.

Thanks,
