Basically, there are:
- stamp duty
- lawyer fees
- valuation fees
- HDB application fees
- agent fees if you engage one (advisable)

The grants you can try to apply for are:
- Family Grant
- Proximity Housing Grant (if you find a flat close to parents)

All these are subject to eligibility and income ceiling.

If you would like, we can schedule a meeting to explain all these in more detail to you.

Hi,

If you're taking up a bank loan, you might want to prepare about 30% of the property price. This will cover for the 25% downpayment, plus stamp duties and other miscellaneous fees.

Hence, for a $500k HDB resale flat, that would be be around $150k. This amount can be from CASH or CPF, though you will probably need to set aside minimum $30k CASH, for the 5% downpayment plus agent fees.

Should you need any 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,
