uniquesoul 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2010 hi sealawie, Assume ur buying a sub sale hse eh? in fact, after u apply home loan, u gotta make d/n payment 1st. As to apply for epf , u need sufficient docs like s&p, and some relevant docs. no matter what..d/payment 10% gotta be paid and even the lawyer fees. this is the cons of buying sub sale hse.

CFA 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2010 EPF will allow you to withdraw the difference between the purchase price of the Property less the Sum Financed subject to your EPF Account II having the sufficient funds. EG, if the Property Price is say RM350K and you are taking RM300K financing, the max sum you can withdraw from your EPF for this purpose is RM50K eventhough your EPF Account II has RM100K. This is to ensure that you don't use the money for other purposes. Hence, you will need the SPA and the Letter of Offer from the Bank in order to apply for EPF Withdrawal.http://www.kwsp.gov.my/index.php?ch=p2memb...ype&ac=1850 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saelawie 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2010 if we have to pay first then only can apply to withdraw EPF, means EPF will issue cheque under applicant's name? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uniquesoul 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2010 Nope, EPf will bank in cash into your hb's acc. Then u may use the epf fund to pay for the deposit and everything. if we have to pay first then only can apply to withdraw EPF, means EPF will issue cheque under applicant's name?
