You may actually try applying for HFE based on your existing status to see if you are eligible for this downsizing.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

Hi,

If you are referring to 2-room flexi, yes you can apply with your spouse as long as your 4-room flat has met the MOP of 5 years, and you fulfil all the eligibility conditions such as income not to exceed $14k.

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends. Read More

My Answer with regards to your Question:

Here are some key points to consider:

Eligibility: The Studio Apartment Scheme is generally available to Singapore Citizens aged 60 and above. As you are reaching the age of 60, you may be eligible to apply.

Current Living Arrangements: Since you mentioned that you are currently staying in a 4-room flat, you may want to consider your eligibility and preferences for downsizing to a studio apartment. The decision may depend on your needs and preferences.

Application Process: To apply for a Studio Apartment, you would typically need to submit an application during the relevant application exercises conducted by the Housing and Development Board (HDB). These exercises are periodically announced, and interested individuals can apply during the specified application period.

Income and Other Eligibility Criteria: While the Studio Apartment Scheme is designed for elderly residents, there may still be income and eligibility criteria to consider. It's advisable to check the latest guidelines and eligibility criteria provided by HDB.

Consult with HDB: For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding your specific situation, it is recommended to contact the Housing and Development Board directly. You can visit the HDB Hub or make an appointment to consult with an HDB Housing Specialist who can provide personalized advice based on your circumstances.

Unfortunately, this platform doesn't allow me to direct contact you.
