Hi, my sister and I had purchased a flat under the siblings scheme 7 yrs back. We are both now married and I would like to buy another HDB flat. How can I withdraw ownership? What HDB schemes do I qualify for when buying my next HDB flat?

Hi,

May I clarify that:

A) for this existing flat, your sister will be staying with her spouse for their future matrimonial home?
B) Or also has she decided to actually apply another flat with her spouse?

If its scenario A, my understanding is that you will have to apply to HDB (call up HDB officer) to withdraw your name stating your purpose of withdrawal. The CPF you (the outgoing owner) have utilized for this flat will have to be returned to your CPF OA account. And the future owners (your sister & spouse) must be able to sufficiently finance and manage the balance mortgage loan of the flat. HDB officers will be better positioned to advise you as they have the final approval.

If scenario B, it is quite straightforward. You have to sell the flat as no 2 households can hold 2 HDBs at the same time.

If you have other enquiries relating to the purchase or the previous question, please let me know and I will be glad to share what I can. Thanks and hope to understand your housing requirements to value-add further.

Warm regards,
Ivan ERA

Good evening,

Maybe we can get in touch first so I can get more information from you to better advise you.

Normally straight forward solution will be sell the unit and both of you purchase your own unit but I am not sure what kind of residency status (SC, SPR or foreigner) you guys are holding now so I can't advise further.

If not, the party (your sister or yourself) wants and eligible to keep the unit under any HDB scheme, the outgoing party must pay the other party CPF OA funds he/ she utilized.

Nevertheless hope to hear from you soon so I can advise you with best solution.

Enjoy your weekends!
