Financing

 Financing An Executive Condominium

Buying an Executive Condominium (EC) is a long term financial commitment.  Moving past the issue of 'Should I Buy an EC Now?', the next logical step for potential homebuyer is to check whether it is within their means to buy an EC unit. 

1. Consider What is Needed

Besides the need to know an estimate of how much monies is needed in totalilty, homebuyers should be familar with the payment timeline.  In addition, what other cost will be involved such as stamp, legal fees and applicable regulatory measures.

Unlike buying a BTO unit from HDB, there is no HDB housing loan for the purchase of EC unit.  Applicants are advised to check on their loan eligibility from banks or financial institutions licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore before committing to a purchase of an EC unit.    

In general, following would be required for the purchase an EC unit under construction. For specific details, please check with the bank or solicitor regarding financing matter.

2.  Next, Consider Your Available Resources 

a. Monies in CPF Ordinary Account -  The saving in the CPF Ordinary Account (including Housing Grant, if any) can be used to pay for remaining 15% downpayment.

Only the applicant and co-applicants can use their CPF monies for the purchase of the EC unit, occupiers listed in the aplication are not allowed to use their monies for this purpose.

Login here with your Singpass to check the CPF Ordinary Account balance (CPF website –> My Statement -> Section A)

 b.  Cash -  The minimum cash amount needed is the Option Fee of 5% of purchase price.  This is based on the assumption that applicant(s) can secure the maximum 80% loan from bank and there are enough  CPF monies in the applicant(s) account to pay the balance downpayment of 15%, the legal and stamp fees.  If not, any of these shortfall would need to be paid in cash.

For applicant(s) with bank loan less than 80%, and who plan to use part cash and part CPF to pay for the total required amount, the payment system is "Cash first, CPF later" and not "CPF first, cash later".   So, do the sum correctly, the minimum cash amount could be substantially higher if your CPF cannot be used for the balance downpayment and stamp duty as it has been reserved for later stage payment.   

c. Bank Loan.   It is advisable to get an In Principle Approval (IPA) done with at least one bank before you do a booking.  IPA is an amount that bank is potentially prepared to lend based on the borrower's income, credit history and prevailing regulatory control measures.  IPA is not a guarantee, but it does give the applicants an indication how much they can stretch to find a unit that best meet their needs.

Different banks may offer different interest rates packages and IPA limit.  However, with the 60% Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework (MAS Notice 43 29 June 2103) and the 30% Mortgage Servicing Ratio (MSR) public housing alignment, bank is taking longer to process and are now more stringent in offering mortgage loan. Ideally, the IPA should be done with at least one bank before you visit the showflat.  

About Home Loans - Key Questions to Ask the Bank Before Taking a Home Loan

d. Existing Flat. This is an useful asset that can be used to finance the purchase of an EC unit. For 2nd timer applicant, there is no resale levy to be paid for the purchase on an EC whose land was bought before 9 Dec 2013. As EC unit are meant for owners' occupation, buyers and essential occupiers listed in the application must sell their exisiting flat within 6 months from the date of Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP).

When Should the existing flat be sold?

e. Monthly CPF contribution. Buyer can use their savings and monthly CPF contribution to the Ordinary Account to service their mortgage loan. Under the CPF Board's requirements (since 1 January 2008), the CPF withdrawing limit for a housing loan obtained from a bank or financial institution is set at the lower of 120% of the Valuation Limit or the Available Housing Withdrawal Limit (AHWL). Once the CPF withdrawal limit is reached, mortgagors will have to pay their monthly instalments in cash

Also, do take note that besides the cap on $5000 salary, the CPF contribution rate decreases with the age of 35, with marked reduction in rate at 50 years of age.  With effect from 1Jan 2016, the salary cap on CPF is raised from $5000 to $6000.

CPF Contribution and Allocation Rates 

3. Finally, put the financial numbers together. 

The outcome here is obvious. Applicants can go ahead with the booking if they have the financial resources to cover all the required payments before bank disbursement of loan and am comfortable with the monthly payment to service the loan.  

It can be a daunting task for some to get the calculation and numbers work out. Imagine the effort if numerous tweaks and/or 'what if' scenarios for different loan quantum and tenure need to be work out in order to determine the best comfort zone.  This is where the value of a competent agent is appreciated.

Two new ECs being launched

Developer Qingjian Realty's Bellewaters executive condominium (EC) in Sengkang goes on sale today, while Kheng Leong has announced that the Terrace EC in Punggol will hit the market next week.

Pricing at Bellewaters starts at $744 per sq ft (psf), which would see a three-bedroom unit go for $722,000 or more.

Mr Li Jun, the general manager of Qingjian Realty (South Pacific), said this level is "affordable for EC purchasers".

The project is located near Compass Point, the upcoming Sengkang General Hospital, Seletar Aerospace Park and Tampines Expressway, added Mr Li.

Four-bedders start at $864,000, while "CoSpace" units, which give home-buyers the option to combine the utility and study rooms, will go from $937,000.

The sales gallery at The Terrace will open next Friday, with E-applications from Nov 21 to 30 and bookings from Dec 7.

Kheng Leong said yesterday that The Terrace is "poised to benefit from Punggol's strong and continued growth".

Plans for the new Punggol Downtown area include a learning corridor to house educational institutions as well as a creative cluster for commercial activities.

Indicative pricing for The Terrace, which has 747 units, ranges from $770 to $840 psf.

The project has a mix of three-, four- and five-bedroom units, which vary in size from 1,001 sq ft to 1,711 sq ft.

Prices at Bellewaters are a tad lower than those at Qingjian Realty's other EC project, Bellewoods in Woodlands, launched last Saturday at $750 to $820 psf.

Of the four ECs that have announced prices over the past two months, Lake Life in Jurong is the most expensive on a psf basis, with flats priced at $799 to $930 psf.
