CPF Housing Grant

SC = Singapore Citizen . SPR = Singapore Permanent Resident

Only first timers are eligible for this grant. For details, see the EC Eligibility Conditions page.

* If you are from an SC/SPR household, you can enjoy the full housing subsidy by applying for the Citizen Top-Up when your SPR spouse takes Singapore Citizenship or when you have an SC child.

♠ The Half-Housing Grant applies to a first timer applicant applying jointly with a second timer applicant who had previously taken a grant or bought a new HDB flat or EC.

Financing for Executive Condominiums

Financing for executive condominiums are typically from banks or financial institutions as HDB does not loan for ECs.

Government regulations for loans are as follows:

• Tenor ≤ 30 years + age at end of tenor ≤ 65 = max 75% loan.
  Minimum cash downpayment = 5%.
• Tenor ≤ 30 years + age at end of tenor is 66 to 75 = max 55% loan.
  Minimum cash downpayment = 10%.

If you require financing, it is advisable to obtain an In-Principle Approval (IPA) in advance before booking a unit. It gives you assurance that you do indeed qualify for a loan, and ascertains the maximum loan you can get so as not to risk forfeiting any of your booking fee.

In addition, for executive condominiums it is possible to obtain 75% loan even if you currently have a housing loan (but not for private property purchases).

Email us via the Contact Form on the right for information on obtaining the IPA (free & without obligation), or for bankers specialising in executive condominiums to advise you on bank rates, loan eligibility & details.

Payment Schedule under Normal Payment Scheme

Payment terms for those taking 75% under Deferred Payment Scheme. An EC unit typically costs around 3% more under this option.

If you currently have a mortgage loan outstanding, you may still be able to get 75% bank loan for the new purchase (subject to bank credit assessment & approval). Click to Enlarge.
