Hi,

Yes resale EC that has met the MOP of 5 years is not considered subsidized housing, so you can still apply for new BTO or new EC thereafter. However as its considered private property, do note you need to sell off the resale EC first, wait our 30 months, before you are eligible to apply for new BTO or new EC.

Of course to apply for new EC or new BTO, you need to be Singaporean citizen applying with SC or SPR spouse.

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as 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

Hi,

1) Buying a resale EC is considered as buying private property for SC and SPR.
2) In the future when you wish to buy a new EC. You will need to sell this resale EC and wait for 2.5yrs (30 months) before meeting the eligibility to buy.
3) The same is applicable when you wished to buy a BTO or SBF.
4) Therefore if your long-term plan is to buy a new EC or apply for BTO/SBF. I would suggest you buy a resale HDB flat instead.
5) Once you completed the MOP (5 yrs), you can apply for BTO/SBF or buy a new EC without selling your existing flat.
6) You will only need to sell it off after you collect keys for the BTO/SBF or the new EC.

Hope the above answer your main concerns, but if there are more query, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards

Hi

Resale EC is considered as a private property and there is no MOP for you to dispose it off. However normally owners would sell it only after 3 years to avoid seller stamp duty. Once you sold off your EC at any point, you are only allowed to purchase a resale HDB if you becomes a Singaporean (Do note for all SPR households must have a SPR status for 3 years if both you and wife are SPR by then). You are only allowed to purchase a BTO or new EC after 30 months from the date you disposed of your private property. For BTO, the requirement is for you to be a SC while your wife needs to be a PR minimally. If your wife is still a LTVP holder, you need to have a child that is a Singapore citizen. If only you is a Singapore citizen and non of your other family members is a SC or SPR, you are only allowed to purchase a 2 room flat in non mature estate area for BTO. For a new EC, the same requirements for BTO apply except that you are not able to purchase any EC of any size if none of your other family members is minimally a SPR. I understand the requirement can be quite confusing and I would be glad to explain to you in more details if given a chance. My charges for private property purchase is 100% free. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussion on this.
