Hi,

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, you can’t purchase a HDB flat without your husband name as both of you are under married status.

Hi,

Unfortunately no, to be eligible for resale HDB both you and your spouse name needs to be included, which means the private property needs to be sold, and will be against your objective. You can purchase a private property on your sole name not an issue. I can assist on how to structure that with minimized costs.

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,

Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends. Read More

Hi,
Sorry, if you want to buy a resale HDB, you and your husband cannot own a private property in each other's name. If you are thinking of buying a resale HDB, you need to dispose of the private property owned by your husband. On the other hand, it might be better to buy another private property if you can afford it.

Please contact me directly, so that I can assist you.
Cheers!

Dear madam,

No, you are ineligible to purchase a resale HDB if you have the intentions to keep the current private property even though decoupling has been completed. Your husband will be required to be named as an essential occupier for the HDB therefore he will also be required to dispose his ownership in the condo within 6 months from taking possession of the HDB. The 5 years Minimum Occupation Period will be applicable on both of you.

Dear sir/mdm,

PropertyGuru only allows registered agents with a paid subscription with PropertyGuru to put up their listing for sale or rent. I have recently just paid over $13k to renew my subscription with PropertyGuru. Home owners are encouraged to consider engaging the services of an agent to market their property for sale or rent, since commission is only applicable for every successful transaction, thus you can actually factor in this commission amount into the final rental price such that the tenants are the one indirectly paying for the commission, instead of home owners paying the advertising fees whether or not a tenant is successfully secured. In addition, agents will also run through the due diligence process to reduce the amount of risk for home owners when renting out their property through a series of legislative checks required to protect the interests of landlords.

I am currently managing an expatriates community with over 14,000 members where a number of them are actively seeking accommodation in Singapore and I believe this is also an added channel to optimise the reach out to potential tenants for your property available for rent. If you are keen to discuss more, let's chat!

I am contactable on my mobile or you can actually drop me an email too.

Looking forward to hear from you.

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,
You are not eligible to buy a resale HDB
I would be glad to assist you.
Feel free to contact me @ 97100155  or https://linktr.ee/peiproperty.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Mdm,

You will be eligible to buy a resale HDB flat however by doing so, your husband will need to sell off his private property within a 6 months period as he will need to be included in the HDB flat either as an owner or an essential occupier to make up the family nucleus.

Therefore, this may not be the best approach. You may want to consider getting another private property under your name since you are now a Singaporean and do not need to worry about ABSD for your first property.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your intentions and draw out the different options for you.

I was featured recently on Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) Newsletter:

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”
Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.
Weilun & Benita (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations. We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind Read More

Hi,

1) The sequence of owning both an HDB flat and a private is; to own the HDB first and then buy the private residential property upon meeting the MOP. And not the other way round.
2) When buying an HDB flat whether it is BTO or resale, both yourself and your husband's name must be submitted as a single entity.
3) Your current options are as follows:
(a) Buy BTO: You have to wait for 30 months after your husband sold the current private residential property before being eligible to apply together.
(b) Buy resale HDB flat: Your husband has to sell the current private residential property within 6 months upon key collection of the HDB purchased.
(c) Buy a private residential property: In this case, you are allowed to keep both private residential properties.

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.

Hi Mdm,

Congratulations on attaining your Citizenship!

As you form a valid family nucleus, you're free to purchase a resale HDB flat under Public Scheme.

Do take note that should you purchase a HDB resale flat, your Husband will be required to be either a co-owner, or an essential occupier. This means that both of you will be required to dispose off all interests in private properties (local and overseas) latest within 6 months of the HDB flat purchase. Both of you will also be required to serve a 5-year MOP for the flat before being able to purchase another residential property.

As you had just done decoupling, do take note that SSD may be applicable should he dispose off his private property within 3 years.

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 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.
