Hi,
If you are looking to buy HDB, then, you got to submit an application for an HFE, with HDB. That, will give a picture on how to proceed.

If you are looking to buy private property, then, you need to conult a banker to get the maximum loan that you can qualify for. The rest would be based on your cash plus CPF.

Please contact me so that I can be of further assistance.
Cheers!

Hi Sir/Mdm,

Based on an initial estimation, you should be able to secure a loan of 1 mil if you are buying a private property or a loan of about 560k if you are buying a HDB flat.

To determine the maximum property price, we will also need to take into consideration your CPF in your OA as well as your cash on hand.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can assist you to calculate and give you an overview of the purchase process and highlight the important factors that you may want to take note of.

Regards,

Testimonial from my Clients
We have the privilege to work with Nick on our recent house purchase and we are extremely grateful for all the help he rendered to make the purchase a seamless experience!
Nick is attentive to all the requirements we have for our purchase and in the short span of time, he was able to provide us with potential shortlisted units that meet our criteria. (A big lifesaver for family with young kids and limited availability!) When conducting a viewing, Nick is highly proactive as he can be seen taking notes, asking questions, checking the conditions (that we missed or never thought of) and etc.
Overall, Nick remains reactive and portrays professionalism in this entire process. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family who are looking for their next home/move opportunity.

Jeannie & Victor (Buyer) Dec 2023
Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a property 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 with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.
Susana (Buyer)

Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!
Mr and Mrs Chan (Sold and Bought a property through Nick)

“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.”

Hi

Assume $10k per month salary, no other loans, good credit profile, 35 years old and below, your max loan should be approx $1.15mil for 30 year loan for private property, or $568k for 25 year loan for HDB

The max price affordability also depends on the amount of cash available for purchase plus your CPF OA funds available.

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

Buyer Mr Wang & Ms Ng

We want to convey our thanks to Ivan, who helped us find our first home. Ivan was very responsive when we first met, and took time to understand our needs and requirements for our first home. He helped us narrow down our criteria and gave us good advice on how to structure our mortgage as well. He also made a great recommendation of an area we never thought of, and it was where we eventually bought our home. We appreciate Ivan's thoroughness in pros and cons of all our options that we viewed. We never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision. In fact, Ivan gave honest and useful inputs on the considerations of acting immediately or waiting. All in all, it was a very smooth experience and we ate very happy with the unit we bought. Thank you very much, Ivan!

Buyer Mr Kypas

I had the pleasure of working with Ivan Ng on my first property purchase, and I cannot recommend him enough.
Ivan patiently brought me around to view multiple properties across Singapore, always taking the time to answer every one of my questions — no matter how big or small. He was incredibly prompt and responsive throughout the entire process, which gave me a lot of peace of mind.
What stood out most was his depth of knowledge and the way he guided me through each step with clarity and confidence. There were moments when I, as the buyer, felt unsure or overwhelmed — but Ivan was always steady, reassuring, and never made me feel rushed or pressured.
At times, it honestly felt like I was being helped by a friend rather than just a property agent. Even after the sale was completed, Ivan continued to follow up on several matters that clearly went beyond what was required of him. He never once asked for anything more in return.
ERA is lucky to have him. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and genuinely invested in helping you, I highly recommend Ivan Ng.
Thank You. Read More

hi,

Assuming you're 35 years old or below, the maximum loan tenure is up to 30 years for private property and 25 years for HDB flats.

Based on current financing rules:

Your estimated maximum loan amount is ~$1.12M for private property and ~$550K for HDB.

This means you could potentially afford a private property around $1.5M or an HDB flat around $740K, provided you have about 29% of the purchase price available in cash and/or CPF (covering the 25% down payment and 4% buyer's stamp duty +legal fee etc).

I can help you work out a detailed affordability breakdown and share suitable property options based on your preferences and budget. Feel free to contact me anytime — I’ll be happy to assist you further.

This platform does not allow me to contact you directly so kindly contact me at https://wa.me/6597261112 I would be glad to assist you further.

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--
Yvonne (New launch buyer)

--Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and answer questions we had--

Hi,

That would depend on a few things.
1. Is it a fixed income or variable income (commission/bonus component)?
2. Interest rate at that time
3. Age (will affect your loan tenure)
4. Buying HDB, EC or Private
5. Any debt
6. How much cash/cpf available

Assuming you are purchasing a Private property, max tenure of 30yrs and 4.2% interest, earning a fixed income of $120k.

- You will be able to take a rough max loan of $1.12m, translating to purchase price of $1.49m

Assuming you are purchasing a HDB, max tenure of 25yrs and 3% interest, earning a fixed income of $120k.

- You will be able to take a rough max loan of $630k, translating to purchase price of $840k

Hope this info was helpful. Happy to assist you further should you require. You can contact me at 8886 8622

There are still missing information required in order to establish an estimate in your case. To assess your loan, we will also need to know your age, as well as if your income is a self employed income or as an employee. Do you also have any financial commitments currently? This is to work out your loan base on TDSR.

On top of that, we will also need to know how much CPF monies is available to be use for the purchase as well as cash funds on hand for the downpayment required.

1. To purchase an HDB flat, start by submitting an HFE (HDB Flat Eligibility) application to assess your eligibility, grant options, and loan quantum.
2. For private property purchases, consult a bank to obtain an In-Principle Approval (IPA) to understand your maximum loan eligibility.
3. Your affordability depends on a combination of your approved loan amount, available CPF Ordinary Account funds, and cash savings.
4. With a \$10,000 monthly income, no existing loans, a good credit score, and age 35 or below, you can expect:
– Approx. \$1.15 million loan (30 years) for private property
– Approx. \$568,000 loan (25 years) for HDB resale
5. Use these figures along with your CPF and cash to estimate the maximum property price you can comfortably afford.
6. It’s best to run these calculations early in your planning so you can make informed decisions on unit type, location, and financing strategy.

(a) Private residential property: ~$1.5M
(b) HDB flat: ~$800k

All the best!

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

With an annual income of $120,000 (or $10,000 per month), you're well-positioned to purchase an HDB flat. However, certain grants, like the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) for singles, are tailored for those with monthly incomes up to $4,500, so you might not qualify for this particular grant.

To determine your maximum loan eligibility and explore available grants, it's advisable to apply for an HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter. This letter will provide a comprehensive overview of your eligibility for various housing options and financial assistance. Additionally, you can log into your CPF account to review your Ordinary Account balance, which will help in budgeting for your property purchase.

If you need assistance interpreting your HFE letter or navigating the next steps in your home-buying journey, feel free to reach out. I'm here to help you make informed decisions.
