Hi, i have 3 siblings and i'm currently staying with my dad in a HDB that was purchased in 1997. My dad does not have any will. I'm planning to buy a private property and would like to checkwhat would happen to the HDB flat should my dad pass on. Is it possible for me to inherit the hdb flat (e.g. in an agreement with my siblings where i purchase their share) and hold on to my private property should my dad pass on?

Hi,

To my understanding, and if the regulations are unchanged by then, if its a non subsidized hdb flat bought before 30 August 2010, you can potentially keep it so long you fulfil hdb eligibility requirements (able to form family nucleus and citizenship etc). Your family would also have to stay in the hdb flat as well.

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,

Dear Sir/Mdm,

Since your father bought the HDB before August 2010 and if it is a non subsidized flat, ie bought not directly from HDB or without any housing grant, then you will be able to keep the flat despite already owning a private property. You may write in to HDB to get approval if you wish to rent it out subsequently.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further assistance.

Regards,
Nick Tan

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”

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.

“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.”
