For buyers and essential occupiers who have taken one HDB concessionary interest rate loan and buy the next HDB flat before disposing the existing one
Those who buy their next flat before disposing the existing one, HDB will first grant them a loan at commercial interest rates (which are pegged to the 3-month average non-promotional interest rate for HDB flats offered by the 3 local banks) after they draw down their CPF balance. After the disposal of their existing flat, they will have to redeem this loan with the full CPF refund from disposal of the existing flat and part of the cash proceeds. Upon redemption, the loan will be converted to a concessionary rate loan.
