Hello John,

If you're above 35 and Singaporean, you can buy a resale flat as a single under Single's Scheme.

However, if your future wife has a private property, she would need to sell her property according to HDB conditions

->
You, your spouse, co-applicants, and any occupiers listed in the resale application must dispose of any interest in any existing HDB flat or private residential property within 6 months of the legal completion of the resale flat purchase.

Still unsure? Text me at wa.me/6583330360 and I can help go through the criteria as well as the financial breakdown for you.

Thanks

Good afternoon John,

If you are single singaporean citizen 35 years and above, you can purchase the resale HDB under your own name first. If you get married after that, HDB may require you to add the wife's name into the resale HDB and its still within MOP period, she may be required to sell off her private property.

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,

Hi John,

I would be most glad to assist you further and please feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, as long as you are a local and at least 35 years of age, then you are able to purchase one under single scheme.

Hi

Yes you may do so. However I have heard cases of HDB requesting the private property to be sold. This is because it is against the HDB policy of allowing a married couple to own a HDB unit that has not met its MOP and a private property at the same time although both properties are under separate names. It would not be an issue if you purchase HDB first, wait till 5 years MOP is up before marrying your fiance with a private property. The private property would not be required to be sold off then. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussion on this.

Hi John,

Yes, it is possible to purchase the resale flat under your single name if you are 35 years old and above. Nevertheless, if you get married within the MOP period, HDB may require your partner to dispose her private property.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 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!

Hi John,

You are eligible to purchase a HDB resale flat if you're a Singaporean aged 35 and above under Single Scheme.

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.
