Asked by
I am married, currently serving MOP in a new flat with 4.5 more years to go. My parents divorced a few years ago and hence my dad (who is SPR) is currently staying with me. My wife is not too pleased with this arrangement. But as single SPR, my dad cannot purchase a resale HDB on his own (private is out of budget).

So my plan is, when my MOP is up:
1) Sell the current flat
2) My wife buys a private with her name, we move into the private flat.
3) BTO a flat or buy resale HDB with my dad (who will be 68 by then) under Owner-occupier scheme (I am the owner and my dad the occupier, so I will pay for the HDB)

So my question is if this is possible, can I purchase HDB with my dad if I am married?
I am also open to other suggestions/solutions if any. Thank you!

This is not possible as you are married. As a married couple, both husband and wife name has to be in the HDB unit, whether joint owners or 1 owner and 1 essential occupier. Perhaps your dad may consider renting a place?

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 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.

Hi Sir,

I regret to inform you that you're not able to purchase a resale flat with your dad. As you're married, you will need to form the family nucleus with your Wife.

Is there a need to sell the current flat? Your flat is solely owned, bought before marrige or jointly with your Wife?

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile +65 97 48 63 05. I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen
