Hey!

So under the eye of the law, the occupier is not a homeowner. With that, comes various pros and cons.

Cons:

Occupier's CPF cannot be used to help pay the HDB.
Occupier has no ownership rights on the property.
Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) applies to both the occupier and owner.

Pros:

The occupier will not be required to pay Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty
The occupier will be able to qualify for a higher loan quantum when purchasing a private property.

Under the Occupier and Owner scheme for a BTO unit, how much are the costs if the Occupier is subsequently added as the Owner for financing purposes? Heard there will Stamp Duty but unsure if it's 2+%?

I'm thinking of applying BTO as a first timer (owner) and my husband as occupier. Will we still be subjected to resale levy as my husband has purchased BTO previously?

I applied as an Occupier together with my wife (as the Owner) for a BTO previously. Would I be considered a first-timer after fulfilling the 5 years occupancy period and be eligible for grants?

If i put my mum as occupier for bto application. Currently she owns 4rm flat no intent to sell. Can i apply for new bto 3rm as a single?

Has anyone done this Owner & Essential Occupier scheme? What are the challenges faced?
