Hi,

my situation is like this:-

me n my gf owned a house, the loan ... is under my name only.

now the question is... can i redeem my epf account 2 money for the 10% deposit ?

Thanks.

I wonder u already owned a house under ur name but u want withdraw EPF account 2 for 10% deposit ... Buying 2nd house? or u withdraw the EPF to pay the loan?

If u wanted to use EPF for paying deposit for new house, then it's possible but I think limited to first house only.

i already owned the house, together with my gf. but the loan, is only my name.
no 2nd house...

and i want to withdraw my account 2 money (10% deposit) from my epf, is that possible?

btw, i signed my snp on june 2009, so within 3 years, means until june 2012 i still can withdraw this money ?

I need to draw my EPF soon as well...in my case... already bought a house in Dec last year...I want to draw for purpose of renovation...I know it is not possible...but any other reason I can use to draw my EPF?

Seriously dun understand ur question.

If you already own the house, it is only possible to withdraw EPF Account 2 to pay off the loan. Why do you need a 10% deposit for a house you already own?

If i'm buying a 2nd house with my partner. Can both of us w/draw the epf $$$?

i have the same thinking too, i bought the house last year (9 months ago) under me & my gf name without using epf.

can we withdraw it now, so i can use it for car or maybe 2nd house.

ohh ... sorry for the confusion here.

okie, dun bother about the 10% deposit thing 1st. put it this way, i bought a house, with my gf. then the housing loan is under my name only. right now, i need cash ... for renovation .. or maybe other purposes .. like investment on other things. so from what i know, since this is my 1st house, i can withdraw money from my epf account 2, which is the amount of withdrawal is equivalent to 10% of my house price.

so my 1st question is :-

1) can i withdraw the money ? house 2 names, but the loan is my name.

2) withdrawal period. snp signed on June 2009, when is my due date ? 3 years after, means ... June 2012?

Whenever you haven't withdraw the money from EPF; yes, you are eligible.

You may refer to these posts of mine here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/879991?author=b00n

Or basically go through this same topic. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/879991

Yes you can withdraw the money from EPF. There are condition of 2nd house withdrawal. If your first house you bought already withdrawn from EPF, then you need to dispose of your first house before withdrawing again. If you first house is bought without using the EPF, then the withdrawal of EPF is consider for 1st house only.

I have just applied for EPF Account II withdrawal and FYI you are not allowed to withdraw the money for renovation or for other usage. It is strictly ONLY meant for reducing your current home loan. The cash will be directly credited to your home loan account anyway.

If you withdraw the money for the second time for the same house then it is to reduce home loan only. However if you withdraw for the first time to buy house the money goes into your own personal account. This apply as well for buying 2nd house with additional condition.

mayb u can check with ur current chargee bank the letter offer c whether r there stated " the bank is not allow u to withdraw the prepayment / extra payment which u withdraw from epf to offset the loan for own consumption purpose. " if there are no such clause, then try to withdraw the EPF amount offset ur loan principle and at the same time withdraw out for own use..

wonder is this possible as i know few banks did stated such clause that not allow the borrower to withdraw the extra payment which u dump in with ur epf money.

As far as i know, as long as the S&P have your name, u can withdraw the epf to pay for the down payment. My question is, are u purchase the house from developer? or individual? How come after signing S&P, they never chase for the down payment? I was thought that normally during signing s&p, u must pay the down payment?

Added on July 6, 2010, 3:05 pmAs long as the S&P having your name and your partner name, both of u are allowed to withdraw the EPF. If the S&P only have your name, then the partner have to prove the relationship with you i.e marriage certificate.
