Asked by
Good day everyone,

i am a SC and am currently residing overseas with my wife and son [SC]. I am thinking of applying for BTO for my parents to stay while i am overseas. I understand there is a MOP to be fulfilled. Since there is no rental during this period, 1) will i face any legal issues if my parents stay in my BTO and 2) will my parents to able to conduct the physical portion of the application process such as collection of keys on my behalf?

i look forward to hearing your advise. Thank you.

You can actually try applying for HFE to see if your are eligible to do so. As for your parents acting as your proxy to manage the events arising from the purchase, you may wish to appoint them as your Power Of Attorney.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 15 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market. Check out the EdgeProp featured article on myself recently at https://www.edgeprop.sg/property-news/geryl-lim-leading-landed-real-estate-heart-hustle-and-harmony

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 15,900 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.

✔1 You can consider applying for an HFE letter first to check whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

✔2 If you would like your parents to handle matters on your behalf during the purchase, you may consider appointing them under a Power of Attorney.

✔3 It would be best to confirm the specific requirements with HDB or a qualified legal professional before proceeding.

Hi,

1) You are eligible to apply for a BTO even though you are not living in Singapore.
2) Of course, you must satisfied all the conditions listed by the HDB before able to get an approved HFE.
3) You have to be aware that your MOP will not be able to complete if you did not come back after the BTO key collection.
4) Since you are collecting your monthly income overseas, you properly will need to prepare a lot document to prove your income than those who are living and working in town where they could use their Singpass info directly.
5) It is only a hurdle but does not exclude your citizen's right for a subsidized flat.
6) The HDB might conduct regular inspection if your family did not come back at all during the MOP.
7) There are no legal concern for your parents to stay in your BTO. You have to include their presence in your flat using MYHDB portal as occupier after the key collection.
8) There are 3 physical presence expected from the HDB, selection of unit, signing Lease agreement & key collection.
9) Although you could appoint them as power of attorney, but, the HDB might eventually reject your application at any point of time when they felt that you won't need the flat in the near future.

All The Best!!!

Hope the above answers your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 9011*0636 or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.
