Asked by
Currently I am staying in a EC which TOP was 2006 and I wish to purchase another private property for investment. I understand that I need to meet the minimum occupation period of 5 years for my second property. My question is
1) Does that mean I can purchase the 2nd property in Jan 2011??
2) Though currently I have not met the minimum occupation period, can I still purchase the property which will TOP in 2 years time?

Hi Starry,

As long as you meet the MOP of 5 years, you can go ahead to purchase your next condo.

Dear Starry Chan;

Yes,you will need to meet the Minimum Occupation Period of 5 yrs for EC before you can purchase another private property.Even before the new ruling,this was already in effect for EC bought direct from developer(5 yrs MOP).No,you cant buy another property under your name even though it will only be TOP in 2 yrs time.The 5yrs is from the date of keys collection of your EC to signing of Option to Purchase for your new property,and not the TOP date.Maybe you can start looking for your next property next year when your MOP is approaching?Hope it helps..
