We are not spendthrift and total expenses adds up to approx $1k/mth.
Current total cash savings: $50k.
Are we able to survive and live on a household income of $3.7k?
Will we be able to service the BTO flat? We managed to get a 30k housing grant. So after grants, the balance for the flat is $370k

Have you considered your CPF? Can use that to offset the instalment.
Even without CPF, it's still possible to pay your instalments with cash, especially if you take the max loan tenure.

Hi,
Assuming you are below 40 years old,
Your maximum loan will be at $220,000 for 25 years at $999 a month
(2.6% HDB loan)
This means every month you should need to fork out around $150 in cash for the mortgage and the rest should be from your CPF OA contribution monthly.
So now on the purchase
You bought at $400k
You have $30k in grants.
and $220k in loans
This means you need to save another $150k in CPF OA and Cash in total in the next 2 years, and also please set aside some $ ($20k-$30k) for renovation.
Hope this helps.
