Mr and Mrs Tan, aged 40, are second-timers. They are living with their 12-year-old child in a 2-room public rental flat. Mr Tan is the sole breadwinner, earning $1,400 a month. They are currently paying monthly rental of $240 in cash. Show If they apply for a 2-room flexi flat with a 60-year lease under the Fresh Start Housing Scheme (Fresh Start), they will be eligible for up to $35,000 in housing grants. Assuming they have cash/ CPF savings of $35,000, they would need a housing loan of about $65,800, which they will be able to qualify for with their household income. The monthly mortgage instalment of $300, over a loan tenure of 25 years, can be paid mostly through their CPF contributions of $290. The remaining $10 can be paid by cash. This will free up more cash for their daily needs. Find out more about Fresh Start. This is Premium Access Only listing.
