What if HLE isn't enough what should I do? Go for bank loans?
Looking for ready SBF flat this time round and it estimated to cost around 400k and according to HLE online I'm only given 238K .. we do have CPF saving but not much around 30k only .. is it possible to negotiate with HDB to give me around 90% loan ?
Nope
HLE is based on ur combined income and they see that 238K is the comfortable amt they can loan you..
You also need to understand that $238k for 25 years is $1080/monthly..Is your combined CPF O/A contribution enough or do you have to top up with cash?
O/A contribution percentage drops once u hit 35 years old..
As for bank loan enough their loan would be higher..You need to know if u use bank loan, downpayment would be 20% of which 5% must be in cash and 15% by CPF..
5% for a $400k flat is $20k cash
15% of $400k is $60k CPF..
Of cos you can apply for AHG/SHG grants to help out but how much is your combined income and has one of the 2 applicant been working for 12 consecutive months prior to application?
