Hi,

1) 15 month wait out period not applicable as it is selling a private property to buy another private property and not resale HDB

2) It takes approximately 12 weeks from exercising of OTP to completion. We need to time the sale completion to be approximately 3 weeks before the purchase completion so the CPF refund and sale proceeds can be in time to port over to the purchase completion.

May I know if the 5 year MOP of the EC has been fulfilled? I have assisted various homeowners to do the same and have helped them to smoothly transit to their next property. Please give me a call at 97432395  so I can give you an overall view of the process and assist with a detailed financial calculation.

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Condo Seller

Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends.

Condo Seller
Andrew : Ivan understood there's urgency to sell my private property too within the given timeframe, provided me with assurance and solutions. When the sale of my private property commenced, it was during the Covid-19 pandemic period; whereby, only 2 unique visitors were allowed to view the property on any given day. Notwithstanding this, Ivan somehow managed to arrange many viewings in the weeks ahead & from time to time, he would also update me on the viewers' feedback (if any), after their viewings. My place was eventually sold within 5 weeks only from the commencement of its marketing (which was well ahead of the 6 months deadline that I had to meet). Most importantly, my property was sold close to my asking price & frankly, this too, exceeded my expectations!! Kudos to Ivan, for the effort & hard work he put in Read More

Dear sir/mdm,

As you are upgrading to a private condo, there is no 15 months wait out period. The wait out period is for private home owners who are looking to purchase resale HDB after the sale of their private property, if they are 55 years old or below, or if they are 55 years old and above looking to purchase a resale HDB that is bigger than 4 room flat.

Typically, the transaction will take about 12 weeks to complete after exercising of the Option To Purchase, as this is the usual time frame required in order to discharge the bank loan without incurring any penalty from the bank, therefore if you require the funds from your sale to fund your purchase, including your CPF funds, it will be ideal to time the completion of your purchase at least 2.5 weeks apart from your sale. Hope this helps!

Hi,

The 15-month wait out period is only for purchase of HDB resale flats. It is not applicable for private properties.

If you're looking to do both selling and buying, it is advisable to plan the timeline properly, so that you do not incur ABSD on your purchase.

As both the sale and purchase are for private properties, completion timeline can be discussed and fixed. It can range from as soon as 3 months, or delay for as long as 6 months or even more, depending on your housing needs.

If you wish to avoid the hassle of having to shift house more than once during the transition, I will be able to assist you on planning for your sale and purchase. I will ensure that you have a smooth transition to your new home.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile +65 97 48 63 05. I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.
