Dear Sir/Mdm,

1) The MOP will be up 5 years from the TOP of the EC.

2) Yes you will be able to buy a resale HDB.

3) You are suppose to physically occupy the unit during the MOP period. Alternatively, you may want to appeal to HDB to allow you to sell before the MOP date.

4) Yes you can certainly rent out one room.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with more assistance!

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.”

Hi there;

Sorry to hear about your situation..Some answers to your questions

1)MOP is 5 years based on your key collection date. However, due to your current situation, you may like to approach the developer / HDB to appeal for early disposal of your unit.

2)Yes you can purchase HDB ( assuming you meet the HDB eligibility ). If you are Sporean above 35yrs old, you can buy as Single Scheme as well..

3) Yes, you can rent a room with your kids or a studio unit. Most landlords are ok with kids, but best to check before committing to a unit.

4)Yes you can rent out the room in your EC, but best to check if you can dispose off your unit before the MOP as to minimize inconvenience to your tenant ..

I have encounter few cases similar to yours before.. Please feel free to contact me if you need further advise.. Thanks

Good evening,

Sorry to hear about your situation.

To answer your questions:

1 - MOP is 5 years from your key collection date. Many tend to get confused and think its from the TOP date but that's incorrect. Due to your situation, you may be able to appeal to sell earlier. I can assist you with this and appeal to developer/HDB on your behalf and handle it for you.

2 - Assuming you meet HDB eligibility criteria, then yes you can purchase HDB.

3 - You can rent a room with your kids. You can even consider a Studio unit if you prefer.

4 - You can rent out the room in your EC.

Do not hesitate to contact me should you have further enquiries. I would be most glad to assist you.
