Uncertainty is mounting over reassessments for loan amounts and grant clawbacks
FIRST-TIME homebuyers are raising questions over a lack of clarity in government policy on assessments for housing loans and grants given by the Housing and Development Board (HDB).
In chat groups on social media channels such as Telegram, posts show several young couples caught in a bind over the amount of financing they now qualify for. This comes on the back of a change in when HDB assesses flat applicants’ incomes for loans and grants.
