Afternoon,

If your girlfriend is above age of 35, she's eligible to purchase resale HDB unit under single scheme. Upon union by marriage after the purchase, she can choose to or not to add you as the occupier. For your case, if you purchase a private property prior marriage, you can opt to or not to add her as the co-owner.

However, do note that once your girlfriend purchased the HDB unit, she' not allowed to own any private property within the 5 years MOP period. And if she does add your name into the HDB unit under Non-Citizen Spouse scheme, you will be required to sell away your private property within 6 months from the date of addition.

Dear Shaikh,

Your girlfriend can buy a HDB flat now if she above 35 years old. If not, you can consider buying together, under foreign spouse scheme, once both of you get married.

But do note that you need to sell your condo within 6 months if you include your name.

Hope that I had answered your questions.

Feel free to contact me if you have any enquiries.

Thanks and Regards
