Hi,

i wana ask how is the proceeds of selling of HDB flats for divource cases calculated?
Flat is held under joint owner for husband and wife.

Some arbitrary scenario:
HDB selling price: $500k
Outstanding loan say is $200k, say HDB Loan.
For husband, CPF used previously amount withdrawn + Accrued Interest = 200k
For wife, CPF used amount withdrawn + accrued interest = 20k for example.

For simplicity, assume agent fee = 0
, legal fee = 0, mortgage loan pre-payment penalties = 0 to keep things very simple.

How is the cash proceeds calculated?

Option A)
HDB selling price $500k - pay off HDB loan $200k - return back to everyone's CPF $200k husband wife $20k = $80k left.
So take this 80k cash divide by 2, so husband and wife each receives $40k cash each???

Option B)
oh the HDB selling price $500k needs to pay loan $200k first = $500 - $200k = $300k
Then take this $300k divide by 2: $150k each.
For husband, $150k goes to u, but sorry, u have utilised $200k from ur CPF+accrued, so u need to net net top up $50k back to ur own CPF? and for cash u get nothing of cos.
For wife, same $150k goes to u, but u have utilised $20k from CPF+accrued so, $130k cash goes back to u. huat ah?

Which is correct? A or B? if neither is correct, can you give an example how it is calculated?

Hi,

In short, it is basically the selling price minus :

1) loan amount
2) cpf usage plus accrued interest
3) legal fee

Hi Sir/Mdm,

For divorce case, there will be a court order which states the manner which the sale proceeds will be distributed. In your case, the sale proceeds is 80k and the court order will state the distribution ie how many percent will go to each party.

I have personally handled many divorce cases before and will be happy to provide you with further assistance and advice!

Regards,

I was featured recently on Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) Newsletter:

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients

“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”
Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.
Weilun & Benita (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations. We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”

Hi,

Sorry to hear about the situation, I hope you are managing well. I have handled divorce cases selling before and will be able to address your queries.

It depends very much on the court order on how it indicates for the treatment of the matrimonial property. The sale proceeds allocation will depend on how the parties agree. If it can't be agreed, it will be contested and the courts will decide based on their assessment of the whole situation. Option A is the more likely scenario if you guys agree on a 50-50 split, and its an uncontested amicable settlement. Typically the CPF utilized will be refunded to respective owners, unless court decides otherwise. The home loan outstanding will definitely be redeemed first.

I am contactable at 97432395  for further discussion.

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

-- HDB Yishun BTO 5-RM Sellers, Private Property Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Koh --

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan

-- HDB Toa Payoh 5-RM Sellers of Million-Dollar HDB, Mr. & Mrs Leong

We were fortunate to have met Ivan Ng. He was thorough in going through what the complicated home-selling process required of us and more so in understanding what we would like to achieve from the sale of our unit. His responsiveness and assurance, was a trait that we really appreciate. We managed to secure a sale that exceeded our expectation with Ivan’s advises. The offered price for our unit was a record set for the flats in the neighborhood. This was definitely supported by the fact that Ivan’s listing of our unit was detailed and stood out from other listings. Because of this, we also engaged Ivan's service to help us search and buy our new resale home. After some searches and viewings, we managed to secure one at a reasonable price with his help. With Ivan’s cheery and positive demeanour, selling our unit to procuring a new one, was a smooth journey for us. It was a pleasure to have worked with him. Read More
