Asked by
Back in 1988, I owned a direct purchased 4-rm HDB flat & it was sold in 1995 due to divorce (unforseen circumstances). As per the HDB flat ownership policy, a divorcee is classified as a single, not allowed to own a direct purchased HDB flat of any room size. Currently I ownd a 3-rm HDB flat which was purchased from the resake market in 1998 after the divorce. I wish to enjoy the privilege to purchase a 2nd direct purchase HDB flat in 2013 when the government announced the new changes for single applicants to buy a new BTO flat direct from the HDB. Can I base on compassionate grounds, appeal / request for a waiver of the resale levy for my first flat or alternatively appeal / request for the resale levy to be charged according to the current new resale levy scheme.

Dear sir/madam,

You are definitely entitled to write in to HDB to appeal or request of waiver for the resale levy or adjust it according to the new resale levy scheme, but it is also up to the HDB panel to decide if your appeal or request is successful. Unless your situation then is extremely extraordinary, I do not see good chance of the waiver happening as there will definitely be multiple other potential buyers out there with similar issue as yours for the HDB to waive.

Lastly, as the saying goes, if it doesn't hurt to try, then go ahead.
