As you are a property owner now, you will be required to dispose your ownership for that property, wait out for a period of 15 months before you are eligible to purchase a resale HDB or 30 months before you are eligible to apply for BTO with your SC partner. Read More

Hi Ms,

Yes, you will need to declare to HDB the properties you own. Failure to do so is as good as false declaration, and HDB has the right to confiscate your HDB flat if found out. My advice for you is not to get yourself into such a situation.

As you currently own a private property, you will not be eligible to purchase a HDB flat. You will need to sell the condo and wait out for 15 months before being eligible to purchase a resale flat.

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 +65 97 48 63 05. I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, you would be required to dispose off the overseas property first and then to have a wait out period of 15 months before you be eligible to purchase a resale flat together with your spouse/ fiance.

My Answer with regards to your Question:

Prior to being eligible for a resale HDB purchase, you must dispose of your overseas property ownership.

Following the disposal, a waiting period of 15 months is mandated before you can apply for a resale HDB flat.

Alternatively, if you plan to apply for a Build-to-Order (BTO) flat with your Singapore Citizen (SC) partner, a waiting period of 30 months applies after disposing of your overseas property.
