Hi, I am currently joint owner of a hdb flat with my mother. Both of us have been staying at the hdb for 15 years.. I have fully paid for my hdb. Questions:
1. If I withdraw my ownership and my mother will be the only owner, do I need to pay any stamp duty or misc fee if I go to purchase another private property?
2. If so, can my mother rent out the entire hdb flat and stay with me at the new private property?

Hi,

If you are doing a transfer of ownership to withdraw your name from the hdb, stamp duties may not be applicable. But should the transfer be workable, however, the buyer stamp duties for the private property is still applicable based on the purchase price.
Do note your mum also needs to refund your CPF utilized + accrued interest that you have used for the current flat. Is she still getting income?

It be good to confirm with the hdb branch side as transfer eligibility is up to their approval and also on the MOP computation for future subletting if the transfer is workable. To my understanding, since both of you are owners from day 1, and under same scheme, need not reset MOP. But all these are subject to hdb Branch approval so no one can give you an exact answer except the hdb branch office based on your case assessment.

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.

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.

Hi,

You can withdraw your name from your current flat. Do take note that should you do that, your Mother will need to refund all the CPF monies (plus accrued interest) that you had utilised from your CPF-OA for the flat.

As long as you purchase a property, stamp duty is payable. The amount of stamp duties payable is dependent on your Citizenship status and the number of residential properties you currently hold.

As long as you have met the MOP of the flat, she is free to rent out the HDB flat.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

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,
