Hi Mr. Welly,

She need not sell away her condo if she has already bought it before you all registered your marriage. However, if you intend to include her name into the HDB, she is required to dispose the condo within 6 months. Yes you can buy resale HDB with your parents no issue, but do note your parents have to sell away their current flat within 6 months.

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,

(Client's Testimonials)

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship.

Our unit comes with its challenges but Ivan remained positive and had no qualms committing to our plans right from the start. It took only 6 weeks of aggressive marketing for him to secure a good offer which was a pleasant surprise in the end.

Ivan was always responsive and we had no worries to pass him the house keys. The whole process was transparent and hassle free, and he was always thinking from our point of view on how to make life easier for the client. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered the enquiries on property guru website.

He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked.

When it comes to selling of our unit, he was always prompt in arranging for viewings and he also tried his best to arrange and consolidate the viewings due to our time constraints. He is a reliable and prompt agent and is always willing to clarify any concerns and questions that we have.

Thanks Ivan! :) Read More

Good morning,

Firstly, when you opt to purchase the resale HDB unit with your parents, do note that they will be required to sell off their residential property within 6 months from key collection, if they have any on hand.
Secondly, as long as the purchase of the HDB unit is done before getting registered at ROM and that you do not add your partner's name into the HDB unit as essential occupier or co-owner, she will not be required to sell off her current property.
Lastly, you can only utilize your CPF OA or your parent's CPF OA for the purchase on the HDB resale unit. Your partner should not have any contribution from her CPF into your HDB unit.

Do feel free to contact me should you require additional assistance.

Hi Welly,

You can purchase a HDB resale with your parents under the Public Scheme. However, they will be required to sell off their existing properties within 6 months upon the purchase.

Also, your fiancee need not sell off her private condo when she marries you.

Should you need any 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 and your partner in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
