Hi,
I assume your MOP of 5 years for the HDB is fulfilled. BSD of approx 3% - 4% on the purchase is definitely applicable for any property purchase.
If a buyer can be secured for the HDB and the exercise date of the OTP of the HDB be before you purchase the private property, it would be considered you have sold off the HDB first and zero property count at point of purchase, hence ABSD will not be applicable. However it does come with the risks as the timeline is quite tight.
Alternatively, if this is a singaporean married couple household and you can sell off the matrimonial HDB within 6 months after purchase of the next matrimonial private property, it may be possible to apply for ABSD refund (do note you still have to pay ABSD first) upon sale of the HDB.
I have worked on both scenarios before and will be happy to share the best approach tailored to your situation. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.
Warm Regards,
Ivan Ng Realtor

I would like to compliment Mr Ivan Ng for his professional work and effort.I sent my first post in Jan 2019 and Ivan replied promptly, so I have decided to contact Ivan for follow up. My EC was not ready for sale due to MOP (another 3 months from Jan) at that time and Ivan was able to give me advices on how to proceed from there. Initially we have decided to try to write to HDB for early sale but since it was only 3 months left, eventually we waited for another 3 months while we looked for our next property. Ivan was able to arrange for new property showroom appointment at a timely manner while helping us to list for our EC for sale. We were a bit worried when our EC sale time was longer than expected due to trade war, but Ivan was able to reassure us that our EC would sell. By November, he managed to secure a buyer for our EC. Thank you.

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan.
