Hi there, thanks for writing to us on AskGuru.

We are sorry to hear about your predicament.

Usually, for a divorce case, you will get a court order where the court will instruct the divorced couple to dispose of the marital home and split the sale proceeds according to a certain apportionment by percentage.

You may incur a Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) in the process.

Once you have received your divorce documents (e.g. Decree /Interim Judgment, Order of Court, Certificate of Making Interim Judgment Final/ Divorce Certificate (for Syariah Court Cases) or Deed of Separation (if applicable), you can apply to buy an HDB flat from the open market.

Under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme, divorced persons must be 35-years-old or above to buy an HDB flat from the open market.

Hope this answers your question.

Best Regards,

Hi,

2) Current HDB no longer building Maisonette. Thus the biggest flat available is up to 5-room only.
3) As a single, to purchase BTO/SBF, you are only eligible for 2-rm in non-mature estate.
4) To find a Maisonette in mature estate, you can only buy in resale market.
5) You are still eligible to purchase Maisonette under Single Citizen Scheme, the only restriction is you are not able to receive any grant available.
6) To ensure you are eligible under Single Citizen Scheme, you must be at 35 yrs old or more.
7) There are no income ceiling if you are not applying for any grants.
8) However, if you are applying HDB housing loan, your income cannot exceed $7,000.
