Asked by
Hi, me and my SO are currently full time UNI students and we successfully balloted for a BTO and are unsure about certain issues. Since we’re both unemployed we’ll get the deferred income assessment right? So how do we go about applying for HDB loan and will we need it when we’re going down to choose a flat?

Also from what I know we’ll only have to pay 5% of the downpayment upfront is this including option fees? So we’ll be able to deduct it from the downpayment amount?

Thank you.

Hi,

1) You will be eligible for the deferred income assessment when you meet the following criteria, which I believed you are meeting the following:
(a) Full-Time Student
(b) At least one party is age 30 yrs old or below.
(c) At least one party must be a 1st timer.

2) The income assessment for housing grants and loans will be carried out approximately 3 months before the flat completion for an uncompleted flat.
3) For an uncompleted flat, you can make use of the Staggered Downpayment Scheme and pay the required downpayment in 2 installments.
(a) 1st installment of downpayment (5% or 10% of the purchase price) at the signing of Agreement for lease. This can pay using cash or CPF OA saving. This could happen 1 to 2 yrs before flat completion.
(b) Balance at key collection. This can pay using cash or CPF OA saving.

4) If you have sufficient funds in your CPF OA, you may use your CPF funds and get back your booking fees (not option fees). Otherwise, this paid booking fees will form part of your down payment.
