Hello, currently my aged parents are staying with me and my wife in our 4 room flat. They have rented out their own 4 room flat. If we choose to get a 3 Gen flat, do my parents have to give up their 4 room flat? Thank you

Hi,

I assume you are referring to 3Gen BTO. Firstly, your MOP of 5 years must have been met before you can apply BTO. For a 3Gen flat, you need to form a 2 generation family nucleus to be eligible, which means your parents need to sell off their flat as well once the key is ready.

You might want to consider resale Jumbo units instead if you wish to keep your parents flat. The size is much bigger and you can choose not to include parents name as well.

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

Dear Sir,

Unfortunately if you were to apply for a 3G flat, your parents will need to sell their HDB flat within 6 months from keys collection as they will form part of the family nucleus for the new flat.

This is not recommended as I think they are currently depending on the rental generated from the HDB as retirement income tight?

You may want to consider getting an EA or an Executive Mansionette (1 room on the 1st floor) or even a jumbo unit to accommodate the big family and provide everyone with their private space.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your objectives better and provide you with further assistance!

Hi,

In order to be eligible for a 3Gen flat, you will need to form 2 family nucleus. Which means, that both you and your parents will have to sell off your existing flats within 6 months upon collecting the keys to your new 3G flats.

For me to give you a better advice, I will need to understand more on your family needs and objectives.

May I know apart from your parents and you and your wife, is there any other family members? How many bedrooms do you need in total?

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 in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen
