Hi,

For overseas property you will need to appeal with HDB on this to be able to keep that, if you wish to buy resale HDB. Otherwise he may have to transfer that to another sibling or relative.

Have you took any CPF housing grants when you bought the 3-room? Proximity grant will be available since you didn't utilize previously, but you need to buy within 4km of your parents place. Is your 5 year MOP already met?

We can do a financial calculation to see if you will be able to generate any sale cash proceeds while doing the sale. I am contactable at 97432395  for further discussion.

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,

Hi Mdm,

If your husband has converted to a Singaporean then he will be eligible for the first timer grant. If he has a residential property in Malaysia then he will not be able to purchase a HDB with you under the current scheme.

You will need to appeal to HDB to see whether they will allow both of you to upgrade because you will definitely need to include your husband name in order to be able to buy a HDB flat.

You will be able to apply for the proximity housing grant if you are buying near your parents. As for the commission, it is payable only after the sale is completed and you may use your sale proceeds to pay.

Upgrading needs meticulous planning in terms of finances and timeline. Please feel free to contact me so that I can give you an overview of the process and draw up a transition timeline for you.

Regards,

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients

“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”
Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.
Weilun & Benita (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations. We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, Read More

Your husband will need to appeal to HDB if he intends to keep his ownership of the landed property in Malaysia should you decide to proceed to sell current HDB and purchase another HDB, in addition to appealing for 15 months waiver should he be ok to relinquish his ownership in that property as private property downgraders will need to wait out for a period of 15 months before they are eligible to purchase a resale HDB. Should your husband take on citizenship, he should be entitled to housing grant and yes, you will be eligible to apply for PHG since you have not utilize it before.

Hi Pearlina,

1) The first thing is to review your financial status to understand which flat type is most suitable for the next 10 years.
2) Yes, you are eligible for the SC+SPR family grant amount to $70k (and others such as EHG & PHG) provided your household income did not exceed $14k.
3) You can negotiate with the agent engaged to obtain an amount that suits both parties.
4) You are not allowed to own any private property when buying an HDB flat. This applies to both owners and occupiers.
5) You also need to observe a 15-month wait-out period before eligible to buy a resale HDB flat.
6) If you intend to get grants and HDB loans for the purchase. The wait-out period is 30 months after selling the private property.
7) This wait-out period is the same as applying for a BTO/SBF.
