When it comes to Central Provident Fund (CPF) each new day is a day of discovery.

And today’s discovery is the CPF Property Withdrawal Statment: a document which provides information about all your CPF property transactions and is used for home loan refinancing applications.

Here is all you need to know about the CPF Property Withdrawal Statement and a step-by-step guide to obtaining it!


What is The CPF Property Withdrawal Statement?

The CPF Property Withdrawal Statment is a document provided by CPF for CPF members which summarises all of the member’s property-related transactions using CPF.

Why is The CPF Property Withdrawal Statment Important?

With the statement, you can check the total principal amount withdrawn from your CPF and the accrued interest owed to CPF.

More specifically, the total principal amount withdrawn includes your:

  • Payments for valuation / stamp / legal fees.
  • Payments to the financier (banks etc.).
  • Payments made to HDB / developer.
  • Payments for lumpsum and housing loan.
  • The monthly deduction for your CPF home loan instalments.
  • and more.

In addition, the statement informs you about the amount that will be refunded to your CPF account upon the sale of your property as well.

What is it Needed For?

In general, you will need to submit the CPF Withdrawal Statement for home refinancing loan applications in Singapore even if you have not used CPF to service your existing home loan.

This includes applications for:

  • Repricing of Home Loans*
  • Refinancing of Home Loans*
  • Term Loan | Housing Equity Loan | Equity Term Loan.**

*FYI: Repricing refers to switching to a new home loan package within the same bank while refinancing refers to closing your current home loan account and setting up a new home loan account with another bank.

**A Housing Equity Loan, Term Loan or Equity Term Loan all refer to the same thing and are often used interchangeably.

A housing equity loan is where you can borrow money by using the equity of your property as collateral. They are also known as ā€œsecond mortgagesā€ or ā€œcash-out refinancingā€.

But, this type of loan is only available to private property owners and Housing Development Board (HDB) executive condominiums owners who have satisfied the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of 5 years.

Now that you know more about the CPF Property Withdrawal Statment, let us dive into how you can obtain it.
