Asked by
We have purchased a 3 room bto under the owner-occupier scheme. We love the bto and wish to move back here for retirement and plan to purchase a bigger 2nd property (condo) once the HDB reaches MOP.

Question: Will I (owner) be able to contribute to overall loan amount we can get while I am still paying off my HDB loan? Will the loan ratio be based off 75% or 45% since it is technically my partner's first property or do i have to pay off the loan amount for the bto in order to secure 75% loan? Thank you.

Good afternoon,

You can structure the next property with her as the sole borrower to get max 75% loan, however the loan amount attainable will be constrained by her income as your income cannot be recognized. If your name is the joint borrower, only max 45% will be attainable due to MAS regulations of 2nd home loan. The third method as you have mentioned will be to pay down the HDB loan, but this may in turn affect the funds available for your downpayment. Hence typically I will draw out all 3 scenarios for my clients to see which method is the most optimal to make the 2nd purchase happen.

Do note ABSD of 17% applies for Singaporean purchasing 2nd residential property as well, and there are also CPF restrictions for usage for 2nd residential property.

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

Good evening Sir/ Mdm,

loan amount will be 75% if purchased under essential occupier after MOP cause he/ she doesnt have any loan.

loan amount will be 45% if purchased under both names cause you as HDB owner still has an outstanding loan. Unless like you mentioned, 75% if you clear your HDB loan.

Do take note that if you purchase under both names, there will be cooling measures be subjected.

Additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD) of 17%, and need to fulfil your basic retirement sum first before you can use the excess if you have used CPF OA funds in your HDB.

Will you guys be keen to discuss and explore other options?

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

Best regards,

Hi
Assuming you are sole owner/borrower of the HDB flat, if you purchase another private property with your partner once the HDB has met it's MOP but still have outstanding loan, your LTV for the private property will be reduced to 45% and your CPF usage may also be restricted. You are also liable for ABSD for the next property. The best situation is for your partner to purchase the private property solely under her own name. ABSD is not applicable and she will be able to fully utilised the 75% LTV. However your pay will not be taken into account for loan assessment purposes as MAS does not allow a non-owner be a borrower. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussion on this.

Dear sir/mdm,

In your scenario, structuring of ownership for your 2nd property (condo) will be a critical factor that affects both your loan to value ratio as well as the stamp duty applicable. In the event that there is existing home loan still outstanding, the loan to value ratio will be reduced to 45%. Will you be meeting your MOP soon or you will still have a number of years more to go? Since the policies may change over the years, the structuring involved may also be different.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

Hi,

1) The property loan percentage from the banks is governed by the MAS.
2) The loan percentage is based on the owner's profile, such as monthly income, number of property mortgages owned, etc.
3) If the property is bought by an individual, with a zero mortgage loan, will be able to receive a maximum of 75% LTV.
4) Once you have 1 existing home mortgage, the maximum you could get is only up to 45%.
5) If both names are in the new property, then the maximum loan you could get is only up to 45%.
6) Once both names are in the new property based on your situation, you will be subject to a 17% ABSD since you already owned an HDB flat (1 property count).
7) You may get up to 75% LTV once you clear off the current mortgage.
