Hi,
My girlfriend currently has a hdb in which she bought via single scheme. We are planning to marry next year. I’m a Singaporean and I'm eligible to buy a hdb under the single scheme. However, if we were to get married than one of us will need to sell off one of it, as under HDB regulation a family cannot own 2 hdbs.
My questions:
1.) If I were to buy a private condo now, and when we get married next year, can I still keep the private condo? Or do either one of us have to let go one of our properties, be it hdb or private.
2.) Similar situation to question 1, if I were to buy a resale EC now instead, will it be considered as a private property? And after I get married next year, can she still keep her hdb and I keep my resale EC?
3.) From what I gather, single Singaporean can buy a resale EC after it is MOP for 5 years, and foreigner can buy after MOP for 10 years. If I were to buy a resale EC after 5 years MOP, can I still marry my girlfriend and keep our properties?
Thanks
Paul
