Let say my wife n I bought a resale hdb at 800k, valued at 780k. Am I right to say that the 20k (COV) cash is part of the 20%(160k) required to be paid if we take a bank loan (loan at 500k).

Hi,

1) COV is not under consideration of any borrowing institute here including banks or HDB. This is an additional amount that buyer willing to offer to the seller as a bonus.
2) If the valuation is at $780k, your 5% (cash) is $39k, and 20% (cash and/or CPF) is $156k. If you manage to get 75% of the Loan-To-Value from the bank.

3) Only the amount you offer in OTP; option + exercise fees are included in the 5%.

4) For your current case is such:
(a) Loan $500k (since this is less than 75% of LTV which is $780k).
(b) You will have to prepare
(i) cash (5%) = $39k,
(ii) CPF and/or cash $156k + $85k = $241k,
(iii) COV: $20k cash.

5) Thus you need at least $39k + $20k in cash.

6) Note that the above amount did not take in consideration of legal fees and buyer stamp duty.

Hi Sir,

No, COV DO NOT form part of the downpayment you need to pay.

As the name suggests, COV is Cash over Valuation of the property. Which means, you will have to pay Cash on top of the Valuation.
