Not a housing expert. My understanding: after selling your BTO, whatever mortgage remaining on your current BTO will be paid of first. Then, you can put the remaining money into your new resale flat and take out a mortgage for the remaining sum. However, if your resale is valued at 650k and you bought it at 700k, you will have to pay 50k up front in cash. That's called cash-over-valuation. (I think the original purpose was to prevent buyers from buying at too high prices, make them think twice before anyhow-ly buying expensive resale.)
So make sure try to you buy a flat that's priced close to valuation.
Hope this helps a bit.
