The Short Answer

简单来说

First-timer families buying an HDB resale flat can combine three grants: the CPF Housing Grant, the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) and the Proximity Housing Grant (PHG). Together they come to up to $230,000. Singles can get up to $115,000.

首次购屋家庭购买转售组屋,可合并申请三项津贴:公积金购屋津贴、加强版公积金购屋津贴(EHG)及就近购屋津贴(PHG),合计最高23万元。单身人士最高可获11万5000元。

The PHG is the one most buyers in Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol and Serangoon can plan around: you get it for buying a resale flat to live with your parents, or within 4km of them.

在后港、盛港、榜鹅和实龙岗,最值得提早规划的是就近购屋津贴:购买转售组屋与父母同住,或住在父母4公里范围内,即可申请。

Your HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter confirms which grants you get and how much. Apply for it before you start viewing flats.

您的组屋购买资格信(HFE)会确认您可获得的津贴与金额,看房前请先申请。
