Hi there, for divorce case, you should only be able to start selling your property after you have attained the final judgement, The Final judgement would have already finalize the proportion for the proceeds and any other assets you guys have. its best to engage a private lawyer who will do up the splits accordingly to the final judgement and issue the chqs to the individual parties accordingly after the sales. Engagement of the lawyers would have to be finalize at the submission stages after the HDB is sold.
Drop me a WA or a call if you are keen to find out more.

Hi Alvin,

Have you obtained the final judgement?

If you are using HDB lawyer for conveyancing, they will not do any form of splits for cash proceeds. The appointment is done during the resale application process. For private law firm, you can immediately keep the lawyer in copy once you have already issued the Option to Purchase. They will guide you along the way.

In case you are unaware, SPH is organising The Home Expo 2024 this coming September and OrangeTee is proud to be the presenter for this event where we have lined up a total of 16 speakers who will be sharing on the different market segments and topics during the 3 days event.

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.

Hi Alvin,

I have personally handled many divorce cases for HDB sale before. Let me try to provide you with some clarifications.

If the flat is held under Tenancy in Common and you are in a amicable relationship with the other party, you can get HDB lawyer to act for you and the cashiers order will be split in your respective share of the property and you both may work together to deduct the costs involved. You will only need to engage the lawyer during the HDB submission after the flat is sold.

If both of you are not on good terms then it is best to engage a private lawyer who will deduct all the costs from the sale and split to sale proceeds according to the court order and pay you your share in a cashiers order.

Please contact me privately so that I can understand your situation better and recommend to you the best way moving forward.

Testimonial from my Clients
Nick was introduced to me by a friend who learned that my previous property agent wasn’t meeting my expectations. During our first phone call, Nick quickly grasped my concerns and provided a detailed financial plan the next day. Since switching to Nick, selling my house has been much more relaxed. His virtual tour and informative fact sheet eliminated the need for my family and me to be constantly present for viewings by unsuitable buyers.
Nick was invaluable in purchasing my next property. He sourced units within my budget and analysed price trends of condo projects I was interested in. With Nick’s assistance, the buying process was seamless, and he expertly coordinated the sale of my current unit with the purchase of the next. Kudos to Nick for his outstanding service and advice!
Eileen Chen (Seller) June 2024

During Nick’s presentation to us, he showed confidence and resourcefulness. He showed us his various methods of reaching out to potential buyers instead of just relying on Propertyguru. He also saw the potential of our home to sell at our projected price. Where other agents deem impossible to achieve, he did his analysis and deems it reasonable and achievable. Nick proves trustworthy. From time to time, Nick will update us on the progress and on any viewing. He will filter buyers who could not meet our asking price and provide update and advice on the offers. We are grateful that he helps us to negotiate for a good price for our home. In summary, Nick is dedicated, resourceful, trustworthy and willing to take challenges.
Sunny Ng (Seller) April 2024

Selling our house was a pretty stressful ordeal, as we have already committed to buying our new home and hence have a timeline to meet. Losing a substantial deposit and worse still, not getting our dream home caused many sleepless nights as we are nearing our deadline. I am very glad we have decided to switch to Nick and seek his help after the dismal performance of our first agent. Not only is Nick very patient in explaining things to us, time and time again he gives us reassurance to allay our worries. And he walked his talk.
With his help, we finally managed to sell our unit at a price within our expectations, before the deadline. Nick’s service is top notch – he is knowledgeable in his field, swift to respond, easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating.
Thank you very much once again Nick, for this smooth transaction!

Good day to you,

Standard divorce proceeds from the sale of the matrimonial unit will be payable to the individual accounts, as stated within the Court Order. As for the joint account, it will be included within the settlement of ancillary matter, before the Court Order is out.
With what is documented within the Court Order, you can engage private lawyer to settle it for both of you.

Hi Alvin,

From my experience, for divorce cases, HDB lawyer will only act for you if the HDB is under tenancy in common and not under joint tenancy. For joint tenancy, you will need to engage a private lawyer. Read More

Certainly! Here’s a simplified summary in point form:

1. **Final Judgment**: You can only start selling the property after obtaining the final judgment in the divorce case, which determines the division of proceeds and other assets.

2. **Engage a Private Lawyer**:
- **Purpose**: They will handle the division of proceeds and issue cheques to the respective parties based on the final judgment.
- **Timing**: Engage the lawyer during the resale application process, after the HDB is sold.

3. **HDB Lawyer**:
- **Scope**: HDB lawyers will not handle the division of cash proceeds. They only assist with the conveyancing of the HDB.
- **Appointment**: Typically done during the resale application process.

4. **Private Law Firm**:
- **Engagement**: Keep a private lawyer in the loop once the Option to Purchase is issued. They will guide you through the process.

5. **Tenancy Type**:
- **Tenancy in Common**: HDB lawyer can act if the property is under tenancy in common.
- **Joint Tenancy**: Engage a private lawyer if the property is under joint tenancy.
