Hi,

I assume you be classified as an essential occupier and so you only be eligible to purchase a private property upon the MOP of the HDB flat which will be 5 years later.

Hi Sir,

Yes, your wife can purchase a resale HDB under her sole name, with you as the essential occupier.

However, as the essential occupier, you will be required to fulfill the 5-year MOP before you're eligible to purchase another property. This means that you're not able to purchase a private property until after 5 years later.

Stamp duty payable will be dependent on the rates at the point of purchase (5 years later).

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require 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,

Hi,

HDB will need both your names to be included in the resale application, with at least 1 owner and 1 essential occupier, as both of you are considered married entity family nucleus. As you will need to be included as the essential occupier for the resale HDB flat purchase, you will need to fulfil the 5 year MOP period as well before you are eligible to purchase the next private property.

If you wish to purchase both and stay one and rent out the other, it may be better to buy private properties under individual names.

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,

-- EC Sellers, Private Property Buyers Dr. Chan & Ms. Xie --

I would like to compliment Mr Ivan Ng for his professional work and effort.I sent my first post in Jan 2019 and Ivan replied promptly, so I have decided to contact Ivan for follow up. My EC was not ready for sale due to MOP (another 3 months from Jan) at that time and Ivan was able to give me advices on how to proceed from there. Initially we have decided to try to write to HDB for early sale but since it was only 3 months left, eventually we waited for another 3 months while we looked for our next property. Ivan was able to arrange for new property showroom appointment at a timely manner while helping us to list for our EC for sale. We were a bit worried when our EC sale time was longer than expected due to trade war, but Ivan was able to reassure us that our EC would sell. By November, he managed to secure a buyer for our EC. Thank you.

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan. Read More

Dear Sir/Mdm,

For your case, you will become the essential occupier and will need to observe the 5 years MOP as well. After 5 years, you will be able to purchase a private property and not be liable for any Additional Buyer Stamp Duty!
