Financing & Buyer Context
Three practical considerations should shape any 1-Room purchase in Central Area:
- Loan tenure and age: HDB loan tenure is capped at 25 years for HDB Loan and 30 years for bank loans, subject to the remaining lease covering the youngest buyer to age 95. Check remaining lease carefully if you plan to use CPF Ordinary Account funds.
- CPF usage cap: Where the remaining lease is under 60 years, CPF usage is pro-rated against a formula tied to the youngest buyer's age. This can materially reduce the cash-CPF mix available for your downpayment.
- MSR and TDSR: Mortgage Servicing Ratio is capped at 30% of gross monthly income for HDB purchases (50% combined TDSR for private loans). Budget early for these ceilings before committing.
