Hi

Yes you mother in law concern is valid although not exactly accurate. If you apply for a proximity grant under your mother in law, your mother in law needs to sign an undertaking that she will maintain the 4km distance from your house for the next 5 years. This means if she do sell her private property before 5 years, she must move to a place that is still within 4km radius of your house in Punggol. I am specialised in HDB transactions. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussion on this.

Hi,

1) There is more than changing your mother-in-law's address.
2) Her property at Punggol is rented out. Meaning IRAS aware that she is not staying there. Unless tenant did not pay TA stamp duty, which is against the law by evading tax.
3) When you apply proximity grant stating your mother-in-law is staying within 4km of your purchase. And both of you have to sign the undertaking that she is staying in Punggol and promised not to stay 4km away for the next 5 years.
This is a false declaration if she did not take back her property and stay in.
4) Suggest not to take this risk. The consequence is humongous.
