Hi Ms. Tee,

I assume you are buying under Single Singapore Citizen Scheme. Unfortunately Proximity Housing Grant is not available, unless you include her name in your resale purchase in the first place. You will still qualify for 1st timer cpf housing grant if your income is 6k & below. 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,
Ivan Ng ERA ASAP

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship.

Our unit comes with its challenges but Ivan remained positive and had no qualms committing to our plans right from the start. It took only 6 weeks of aggressive marketing for him to secure a good offer which was a pleasant surprise in the end.

Ivan was always responsive and we had no worries to pass him the house keys. The whole process was transparent and hassle free, and he was always thinking from our point of view on how to make life easier for the client. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered the enquiries on property guru website.

He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked.

When it comes to selling of our unit, he was always prompt in arranging for viewings and he also tried his best to arrange and consolidate the viewings due to our time constraints. He is a reliable and prompt agent and is always willing to clarify any concerns and questions that we have.

Thanks Ivan! :)

Good morning Ms. Tee,

Your mother's name had been used to purchase a BTO unit in Yishun but your youngest brother is staying in it while your mother is staying in CCK with your eldest brother.
Firstly, you will require documentation prove of your mother's condition. Then you will need to show that your eldest brother does not have the capability to take care of your mother well. You will also have the issue that your mother need to sell away the unit that she had bought in Yishun as she had not been staying there hence MOP is not fulfilled.
What you can do is to purchase resale HDB unit under single scheme and obtain the single grant. Proximity Housing grant might not work in your favor.

Do feel free to contact me for further discussion.

Hi Ms Tee,

If you're planning to get the flat under Single Scheme, I regret to inform you that you are not eligible for Proximity Housing Grant. This is because your parents name has already been used to purchase the BTO flat with your brother.

You can however apply for the first-timer grant, if you fulfill the eligibility conditions, and your income is below $6000 per month.

Should you need any 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.

Best regards,
