Upgrading to a bigger HDB

John's growing family is ready for a bigger space! He's excited about welcoming his second child and needs a larger HDB to accommodate everyone comfortably.

Typically, 50% of the proceeds from selling a HDB would be used as a down payment for a new HDB if one wishes to continue taking up an HDB loan (for the second time). However, John wants to keep most of his proceeds to help cover the cost of his renovation and higher household expenses.

That's where the POSB 5-Year Fixed HDB package comes in. By refinancing to this package, John can enjoy:

  • Greater financial flexibility: The proceeds from selling his current HDB can be used to make a down payment on his new home or kept as an emergency fund for peace of mind.
  • Lower Interest Rate: Enjoy a competitive interest rate of 2.50% p.a., lower than HDB Concessionary Loan, leading to substantial savings on monthly repayments, ensuring financial stability for the long term.
  • Exclusive Renovation Loan Rate: The POSB Renovation Loan offers a 0% interest rate for the first six months, providing interest savings and additional funds to cover renovation costs.
  • Cash Rewards: Receive a S$2,000 cash rebate, with a minimum loan of S$250,000, to help offset refinancing fees and jump-start your financial goals.

John is thrilled about the interest savings and the S$2,000 cash rebate he'll receive as a refinancing customer and the interest savings on his renovation loan. It's a win-win situation, allowing John to seamlessly upsize and secure his family's future with greater financial peace of mind.
