Good morning!

They do not have to wait for 30 months before purchasing a Sale of Balance Flat (SBF) or BTO Flat. The sale of the HDB Maisonette has to be done 6 months within collection of keys.

Hope my answer helps!

Hi,

They need not wait out 30 months after selling the EM, can apply the BTO or SBF even before selling. Do note to be eligible to apply they must not have purchased 2 subsidized flats before.

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,

-- EC Sellers, Private Property Buyers Dr. Chan & Ms. Xie --

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. Read More

Hi,

There is no 30 months requirements for HDB owners purchasing a BTO/SOBF. The 30 months requirement only applies for private properties.

In fact, they need not sell their EM before they are allowed to apply for the new flat. They only need to sell off their EM within 6 months upon the key collection to their new flat.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen

Hi
HDB masoinatte is not considered a private property and as such there is no need to wait for the 30 months period before applying for BTO or sales of balance provided the seller has met it's MOP. Yes application for BTO or sales of balance can be done even before the flat is sold. In fact, if you have enough funds to purchase the BTO, you can also sell your current flat 6 months after getting key to the BTO. Do note that resale levey apply for 2nd subsidised purchase payable in cash. I am specialised in HDB transaction. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory consultation in regards to this.
