To determine the Cash Over Valuation (COV) that a seller received for an HDB resale flat, you need to know two key pieces of information:
1. The agreed sale price of the flat.
2. The actual valuation of the flat as determined by HDB.
The COV is the difference between these two amounts. Here’s a simple example to illustrate this:
- If the agreed sale price of the HDB resale flat is $550,000.
- And the actual valuation by HDB is $520,000.
The COV would be $30,000, which is the amount the buyer has to pay in cash because it is the difference between the sale price and the valuation.
To find out the COV for a specific transaction, you would need to look at the sale price and the HDB valuation for that particular flat.
