<\/div>

These days, CPF may as well stand for Causing Persistent Fights<\/em>. Nothing sours the mood faster than bringing up this sore topic. The only way to make it worse is to discuss how CPF is used for home loans. Here’s some clarity on the common issues:<\/p>\n

1. You can only use your CPF for HDB loans<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The truth is, you can use your CPF Ordinary Account (CPF OA) funds for both HDB loans<\/a> and <\/em>private bank loans. Note that you’re subject to some restrictions, such as withdrawal limits (see point 6), when you use CPF for your home loan.<\/p>\n

2. If you sell your house at a loss, you have to top up the difference to CPF<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You do need to return the money used from your CPF savings when you sell your house. This is to prevent people from extracting their CPF via a loophole (e.g. buy a house and then sell it, so you effectively withdraw your CPF money). After all, the CPF savings are designed to be used for your retirement.<\/p>\n

However, you only need to refund the principal amount and any grants used, plus any interest<\/a> you would have gotten. If for some reason you sell your house at a loss, you don’t need to top up the difference<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For example, if you’re required to refund S$600,000 to your CPF (inclusive of the interest you would have accrued), but sell your flat at market value for just S$580,000, you would just need to return S$580,000 to your CPF account.<\/p>\n

3. Once you turn 55, you can no longer pay for your house with CPF<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you’re still working and earn an income, you can pay for your housing loan through your CPF OA contributions. This is regardless of whether you meet the applicable Retirement Sum.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can reserve your OA savings before you turn 55 to pay for housing. For example, say you need to set aside S$186,000 for your minimum sum. You can put S$93,000 in your minimum sum, and set aside the other half to keep paying for your house.<\/p>\n

However, you should talk to a qualified financial advisor before doing this. Setting aside money this way will cause your retirement payouts to be lower.<\/p>\n

4. You must use all your CPF OA savings when taking an HDB loan\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is no longer true. As of August 2018, buyers can now set aside up to S$20,000<\/a> in their OA when taking an HDB loan.<\/p>\n

Many of the financial advisors we spoke to suggested setting aside six months of your mortgage repayments or S$20,000, whichever is higher. This ensures your home loan remains paid during times of financial difficulties, such as a loss of income due to retrenchment.<\/p>\n

5. You can always use your CPF to pay for conveyancing fees<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not really, this is a bit of a half-truth.<\/p>\n

Conveyancing fees tend to cost around S$2,500 to S$3,000, and are incurred when purchasing a house or refinancing. Now with some <\/em>law firms, you can pay for these fees with your CPF. However, it’s not true of all law firms. You’ll have to check with the law firm in question.<\/p>\n

To compound the issue, only some law firms will be accepted by your bank. It’s a bit of an annoying search process, to find a law firm that’s cheaper, accepted by the bank, and <\/em>also lets you pay through CPF. We suggest you ask a mortgage broker to do it for you to save the hassle.<\/p>\n

This is not an issue with HDB properties, as you can just use HDB’s appointed law firm (whoever they may be at the time), and it can be paid with CPF.<\/p>\n

6. You can always use all of your CPF to pay for the house<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From 10 May 2019, the limit on how much you can use your CPF OA savings depends on the type of property and housing loan.<\/p>\n

Here’s a summary of the limit.<\/p>\n

\"Infographic<\/a>
Infographic on the limit when using CPF to pay your housing loan. Source: CPF<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you’re taking a bank loan, the withdrawal limit will be 120% of your home’s Valuation Limit (VL), if you set aside money for the Basic Retirement Sum (BRS) in your CPF. The VL is the lower <\/em>of your property valuation or purchase price, at the time you bought it.<\/p>\n

For example, say you purchase your property at S$600,000, while the valuation was S$580,000. Your VL is thus S$580,000. Your withdrawal limit is thus S$696,000. Once you have withdrawn S$696,000 for your house, any outstanding amount will have to be paid in cash.<\/p>\n

Don’t assume this will never happen. Remember that, after factoring in interest rates, it’s quite possible to end up hitting the withdrawal limit.<\/p>\n

Another thing to note is that if the remaining lease of the property doesn’t cover the youngest owner till age 95. The limit on how much you can use your OA savings will be prorated based on their age.<\/p>\n

7. Your CPF can\/cannot be used to pay stamp duties
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Stamp
You can be reimbursed from your CPF account for your stamp duties.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one is a common source of confusion, with different people claiming both to be true. To clarify:<\/p>\n

For taxes such as Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD) or Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), you can<\/em> be reimbursed from your CPF OA. But\u00a0 you pay the stamp duties first<\/em>, and apply to get it reimbursed from your CPF account later. That means you must have the cash ready when the stamp duties are due (within two weeks of concluding the sale).<\/p>\n

For properties that are under construction, however, you can pay the stamp duties directly from your CPF.<\/p>\n
