Me & my wife is currently staying in a BTO and we are planning to sell it & buy a resale unit. But currently I’m unemployed & my wife’s annual income is around $43k. Are we still eligible to apply for a HDB loan for our upcoming resale unit? Or should We go for a bank loan instead?

Good afternoon Sir,

It will be best that both of you do loan assessment based on wife's income (be it HLE or IPA) before proceeding further.

Let's work out your numbers and what works best for you and family.

By the way has your BTO fulfilled 5 years minimum occupation period?

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

Best regards,

-- EC Sellers, Private Property Buyers Dr. Chan & Ms. Xie --

I would like to compliment Mr Ivan Ng for his professional work and effort.I sent my first post in Jan 2019 and Ivan replied promptly, so I have decided to contact Ivan for follow up. My EC was not ready for sale due to MOP (another 3 months from Jan) at that time and Ivan was able to give me advices on how to proceed from there. Initially we have decided to try to write to HDB for early sale but since it was only 3 months left, eventually we waited for another 3 months while we looked for our next property. Ivan was able to arrange for new property showroom appointment at a timely manner while helping us to list for our EC for sale. We were a bit worried when our EC sale time was longer than expected due to trade war, but Ivan was able to reassure us that our EC would sell. By November, he managed to secure a buyer for our EC. Thank you.

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. Read More

Dear Sir,

Both bank loan and HDB loan are possible. However, HDB loan is subjected to right sizing of loan and therefore you will only be able to cash out 50% of the profits from the sale of current flat, with the balance 50% going towards the purchase of the new resale unit. HDB loan also has a higher interests at 2.6% compared to bank loan interests which is about 1.5%.

It is important to plan your finances before selling and buying so that you can have an idea of your cash flow and more importantly how much cash will be left after the sale and purchase.

I have assisted many of my clients to transit from one HDB to another. Please feel free to contact me so that I can assist you with the calculation as well as help you plan the timeline.

Regards,
Nick Tan

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 wi Read More

Hi,

1) I assume you have utilized the HDB loan in the current BTO flat.
2) You are still eligible for the HDB loan as well as a bank loan.
3) If you are getting an HDB loan again, it means that 50% of cash proceed after selling needs to use to pay for your resale flat.
4) If you are getting a bank loan, you will need 5% cash and 20% cash and/or CPF for the down payment, provided your wife's income can get the 75% loan.
5) Using MSR assessment based on your wife's salary, she can receive a loan of approximately $215k if she is under 40yrs old.
6) You will have to assess how much you could receive upon selling your BTO, your current saving, and the possible loan amount before being able to decide you are ready for the move.
7) You will also need to check on the current situation whether you are able to find something that meets your need.

Hope the above answer your main concerns, but if there are more query, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Hi
Yes you are still able to apply for a loan as long as 1 party is employed. For further details on financial viability, I will need more information in regards to your profile and circumstances Do note for a second HDB loan, HDB requires half of the cash proceeds to be placed as a downpayment for the next flat. Some of my sellers choose to take a bank loan for their next flat instead as it puts them in a more advantegeous position. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussion on this.

Hi Sir,

Yes, you will be able to take up a HDB loan if you had not utilized it twice. The maximum times you can take up a HDB loan is 2.

You can also consider to take up a bank loan too, since the interest rates is much lower.

Also, if the price of your current flat is higher than the flat you're looking to purchase, you may not need to take up a loan if the sale proceeds can cover for your next purchase.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
