Hi Ioges Waran,

I believe this could happen in between 2 months, where it was open to all ethnic groups when Option was granted in end December 2023, and the situation changed in January 2024. If you have exhausted your option in appealing for the property to be sold to you, then the seller will need to refund you the option money paid so far without any interest. The point of consideration for ethnic restrictions is during the resale application stage and I do know of quite a few similar cases lately that approval were not granted even when appealed.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

It's unfortunate that you encountered this issue after OTP-ing the flat and obtaining the valuation report from HDB. Generally, ethnic restrictions are stipulated in the Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) and Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) quota, which are enforced by HDB to promote racial harmony and ensure a balanced mix of ethnic groups in HDB estates.

Regarding your question, it's possible that the ethnic restrictions on the flat may not have been immediately apparent during the OTP or valuation report stage. Sometimes, such restrictions might only become evident during the final approval process, which involves a more thorough review by HDB.

In this situation, since your appeal was unsuccessful, there might be limited options available. However, you could consider the following steps:

Seek Further Clarification: If you haven't already, you could try reaching out to HDB again to seek further clarification on the specific reasons for the rejection and whether there are any alternative options available.

Explore Alternative Properties: Unfortunately, if the flat is subject to ethnic restrictions, you might need to explore alternative properties that do not have such restrictions. Your property agent could assist you in identifying suitable alternatives.

Legal Advice: If you believe there may have been an oversight or error in the handling of your case, you could consider seeking legal advice to explore whether there are any avenues for redress or further appeals.

Patience and Persistence: Lastly, it's essential to remain patient and persistent throughout this process. Property transactions in Singapore can sometimes be complex, and setbacks like this are not uncommon. Keep exploring options and remain proactive in finding a suitable property that meets your requirements.

Overall, while encountering such obstacles can be frustrating, it's essential to approach the situation calmly and methodically, considering all available options before making any decisions. Read More
