With a pay cheque of $1,700 a month, Mr Melvin Marc Loh, 52, had long accepted that he would not be able to buy a flat in Bedok to live near his mother. “I don’t think I can afford to buy a resale flat in Bedok with my salary,” said the sales associate, who is...
He had to move into his sister’s flat, as he did not have much savings in his Central Provident Fund account.
Similarly, civil servant Ms Teo, who asked that only her surname be used, is planning to apply for a two-room flat to live near her family after the new framework is rolled out. But only singles who earn $14,000 or less a month can buy Plus flats on the resale market in the future. “Life circumstances can change in a few years. If I buy a two-room BTO flat, and after a few years, I find a partner and have a child, I would have to share the one bedroom with my child until he is six or seven years old before I can sell the flat,” he said, noting that he would be in his 50s by then and may not have enough money in his CPF Ordinary Account to buy a bigger resale flat.
Huttons Asia senior director of research Lee Sze Teck said he understood singles’ disappointment at the size and age restrictions. “However, there is a need to strike a balance between the needs of singles and families,” he added. He added that the $14,000 income ceiling for both families and singles buying Plus resale flats will help curb potential sharp price increases when such flats are resold, thus ensuring they remain affordable to Singaporeans.
