Hi,
I’m a third owner and my parents are the first and second owner of our current HDB. We did the transfer in September 2015 and I understand from HDB that I need to fulfill the MOP of 5 years before my parents decide to sell away the house. If my calculation is right, only after September 2020, it’s safe for my parents to do so. However, my partner and I are unsure if we can BTO right now, while I’m still tied to the co-owner scheme with my current HDB. So my question is, based on my situation right now:

a) Am I eligible to BTO now while still in the co-owner scheme?

b) If I decide to remove my name once the MOP is due, my parents have to pay via CASH for the remaining loan amount? Or they have to sell away the house within 6 months once I remove my name?

Do also advise me if there’s anything else I need to know.
Thank you so much!

Good afternoon,

You will need to fulfill MOP first before you can be eligible for BTO unit. In the event that you intend to remove your ownership from the current unit, it would be easier if you had not contributed CPF monies toward the current unit.

Hi,

There are few parts in your posting, thus I split up each to better answer to them.

You are named 3rd owner in Sep 2015, your MOP will be Sep 2020, 1 day (8 Sep 2015) earlier than the start day (7 Sep 2020).
Your parent could transfer all their shares to you provided you have the capacity to take over.
Meaning you must get sufficient loan to service the transferred shares. Provided they have fulfilled their MOP.
In this case, they are selling to you under the eye of property transaction.

(a) You are not eligible to apply for BTO now since you have not fulfilled your MOP.
You may remove your name from the ownership in order to do so.
It will be complicated if you have contributed CPF towards the flat. As you are considered as selling a flat (part of it), you may incurred SSD (Seller Stamp Duty) upon removing your name from it.
SSD applied when you sell your property within 3 years; 1st yr=12%, 2nd yr=8%, 3rd yr=4%.

If you did not contribute anything to the flat, then, it is merely removing ownership.

(b) Once your MOP is due, your parent have to be able to service the loan either by CPF or cash when your transfer your part back to them. That shall dependent on their financial situation.
They are not required to sell away the house with your name removed. In fact, you will still be staying there as an occupier.
BTO flat might not available immediately upon application.
