edenstrauss 3 Report post Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) U will not be able to mobilise any funds in their CPF account if they are only occupiers. Unless u include them as owners. However, u must take note that in the near future if they would like to withdraw ownership due to any unforseen reasons, u would be required to pay them the full amount of CPF monies that they have utilised for your flat, including its accrued interest. And vice versa should both u & ur fiancee decide to buy another flat of your own. Unless BOTH u & ur fiancee r mentally prepared to stay with your parents for good. Otherwise it can become a very sticky issue later on. U should also check with your fiancee if it is ok with her that she stays with your parents for life. And one more issue is that u need to check with HDB if your parents meet the criteria in obtaining a HDB loan (if applicable) at a concessionary rate. Please refer to this link: http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10321p.nsf/w/...ho?OpenDocument If the owners could fork out the full payment for the flat, then no need to apply for HDB loan.

spidt09 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 side track a bit. what if my parents were to sell their house, and stay with me. their house valuation 380. if managed to sell their house for 420 means 40k cov. so how much will they get in cash? from hdb sales proceeds calculator is 80k. 1) is that 80k = cash proceeds, or cash proceeds + cov = 80, or cash proceeds + cov = 120? 2) does the 50 50 percent rule still applies since they not getting a new flat? sorry i don't quite get it. pls advise. thanks!

spidt09 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2011 indeed buying and selling house is a tough task. thanks to u guys, at least i slowly learning. may i ask a few more questions. 1) since my parents are selling off their house, and not buying another as staying with me in the future.. will they still need pay resales levy once they sell off the flat? they aren't sure if they have used any grants before. 2) if outstanding balance is 150k, and outstanding installment is 10k. does that mean my outstanding loan is 150, or 160 (150+10)? thanks!

Outstanding instalment? refer to remaining amount of mortgage loan yet to be paid? Yeah, the mortage loan info at hdb page. It states outstanding balance 150k, outstanding instalment 20k. So the mortage loan left to pay is 150k or 170k (150 + 20)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
