Good morning Sir/ Mdm,

you are eligible to purchase RESALE EC that had fulfilled their 5 years minimum occupation period (MOP). The purchase will be as per an private transaction.

If you are thinking of buying a NEW EC, I am afraid to inform you that you need to form a family nucleus in order to do so. Single is not eligible to purchase NEW EC as per current regulations.

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

Hi

A very good day to you.

As you are below 35 years old, you are currently not eligible for a new EC. However you are eligible for a resale EC which has fulfilled the MOP period.

I would be most happy to assist you with the financial calculations from the sale of your current flat to the purchase of your next property.

Do contact me so I can understand your needs better and customise your asset progression journey.

Best regards

Hi,

As a single you will be eligible to purchase resale EC that has met the MOP of 5 years, but not new EC. This is because new EC requires you to form a family nucleus, which seems not possible for your case (grandchild + grandparents not possible). Resale EC has its benefits as well, in that you need not wait for construction time and some of the prices are also competitive.

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Ivan Ng Realtor

Ivan was prompt in replying to my endless queries & concerns. He was very attentive to details and he knows my exact 'taste' during the process of house hunting. I would say that my requirement in getting a flat is quite high because i was looking for a flat located near my parent's as well as the MRT station. It impressed me that he could read my mind well which makes the whole transaction alot easier. I also love the fact that he is calm, not pushy & always ensuring me that there are still sufficient time to look out for other available houses. We are so thankful beyond words for his understanding and patience thoroughout the whole process. We managed to sell our BTO with extension & secure a 5 room flat without COV, located near my parent's and a 3 to 5 mins walk to the MRT station.

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan. Read More

Hi,

I regret to inform you that you're not eligible to apply for a brand new EC under your sole name. You may wish to consider a resale EC that the previous owners had met their MOP, or a private property instead.

However, if your Grandparents are:
i) Singaporeans, and
ii) do not have any other private properties (or did not disposed any within the last 30 months), and
iii) had not utilized their 2 times subsidized housing,
then you are eligible to purchase a brand new EC together with them under Public Scheme.

Do take note that you will need to sell off the current HDB latest within 6 months upon the TOP of the EC.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require 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,
