Hi,

It is indeed tougher to get a MOP waiver from recent observations, HDB seems to have tightened their criteria. However your case appears to have good reasons, have you tried to head to MP side to get their help on this? By the way, may I know your Date of Purchase so to know the exact 5 year MOP fulfillment date? I am contactable at 97432395  for further discussion.

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,

HDB 4-room seller with early MOP appeal sale - Ms. Chng

We were looking for agents to help us with urgent appeal for early MOP and to sell off our flat. As it was 2 years before MOP, most agents who reached out were reluctant to assist much and unresponsive. Ivan was very understanding of the situation and patiently assisted us with our queries and even drafted the appeal letter for us accordingly. Although the appeal was rejected, he was not disheartened and would occasionally follow up to check in. The next year we appealed again and managed to successfully get permission to resell our flat pre-MOP on open market. We reached out to Ivan who promptly met up with us to plan next steps and a rough schedule of when we could start marketing the flat. Even though we had our concerns over the price, and very tight timeline of when we would like the sale to complete, and concerns of extension, Ivan remained optimistic and positive throughout the whole sale process. Despite the busy December holiday season and nearing to Christmas, Ivan managed to secure a good price offer for our flat within two weeks of listing and issue the OTP. Three days later and just after the holiday season he managed to book us viewings for flats we were looking to buy, made a same-day offer and helped us secure the ideal flat immediately. His pleasant and enthusiastic attitude makes him a valuable agent to have and I definitely recommend him. Read More

Dear sir/mdm,

I am sorry to hear about the situation. While you have tried appealing to HDB for MOP waiver earlier, may I know if you have submitted supporting documents for this waiver? Have you also seeked help from your MP in this appeal? While HDB has tightened the 5 years MOP policy, it does not indicate that you must be physically occupying the property for 5x 365 days in order to fulfill the MOP. It is a guideline to ensure that buyers who purchases a HDB are using the HDB as their primary home and not for investments purpose via renting out or just for its profits upon MOP.

I'd strongly encourage you to approach your MP for assistance or if required, visit Minister Lee's MPS directly for assistance.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.
