Hi,

When the time comes and should you be eligible to own a HDB flat under your sole name, then chances is that you would be able to inherit the flat and need not dispose it away.

Hi,

1) You are able to keep the flat provided the following conditions are met:
(a) The flat was bought before 3oth August 2010.
(b) It is not a BTO/SBF or a resale flat bought with grants.
(c) You have to satisfy the eligibility schemes apart from the owning private residential property thingy.

2) You will have to stay in the HDB flat to complete a 5 years MOP once you take over the ownership.
3) You are not eligible to invest in private property during the MOP.
4) You are also not allowed to sell this flat or rent out the whole unit during the MOP.
5) You have to check with the IRAS whether you are subject to any ABSD or inheritance tax. It is not required at this point in time. But I don't know whether this will change in the future.

6) The HDB viewed a married couple as a single entity thus using your wife to inherit the HDB flat is not doable.

Hi Sir,

You can definitely inherit a HDB flat if it's being willed to you. But as to whether you can hold onto the HDB flat will depend on when the flat was originally bought by the deceased. The flat needs to be a non-subsidised flat bought before 30th August 2010.

In the event that you cannot hold onto the flat, you will need to sell it off in the open market. Do take note that you will also need to serve a 5-year MOP for the flat should you be eligible to hold onto the 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.
