Hi Agents, I'm a PR holder. My Mum and I bought an resale HDB flat. Now I'm getting married with my fiancé who's a SC and we are considering getting a BTO after married. But my friend told me I need to sell my resale flat, is that true? 2nd question is, if I do need to sell, when must I sell it? Can I sell it after getting keys of the new BTO flat? Or do I have to sell before applying for the BTO flat? Pls help. Thx!

    Thx for the reply! One more question, instead of selling current HDB, can I just remove my name and let my mum own the HDB alone? Just let her "top up" my CPF

Hi,

Yes you need to sell away your current flat, within 6 months of key collection to your BTO. Thanks and hope it clarifies. Is there anything else I can assist?

Warm Regards,

Good morning seller,

Yes your friend is right. You are required to sell off current flat within 6 months from key collection date.

Hope my sharing is beneficial to your property sale.

May I know how can I value add in this sale?

Hi there,

You have to sell the resale hdb flat, not before applying for BTO, but within 6 months of getting the BTO keys.

Feel free to contact me at your convenience, and we can carry on from there.

Thanks and regards,

Afternoon,

You can apply for the BTO with your partner. But do note that you need to sell away the unit or your share within 6 months from key collection. Should you opt to do part sales to your mother, she would have to obtain loan or pay for the funds that you have contributed to the existing unit.

Do contact me further should you require my assistance.

Regards
