Hi Mr. Peter,

There are 2 types of HDB flats that you have to take note:
(1) BTO HDB flat
(2) Resale HDB flat

The difference between the two are, (1) is a subsidized, (2) is open market.

Thus there are different requirement:
For type 1, you need to dispose off your private property for 30 mths before application.
For type 2, you need to dispose off your private property within 6 mths upon completion of resale process.

The answer is "Yes" for both types.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Hi Peter,

It is a good decision to start investing in a property from young so that you can ride on the property cycle and build your wealth!

If you wish to purchase a BTO in the future, you will need to first satisfy the family nucleus criteria and also observe a waiting period of 30 months after selling your private property.

However, if you wish to purchase a resale HDB, there will not be any issue. You will just need to dispose off your private property within 6 months of purchase under the current rules and regulations.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can draft up a financial plan for you, work out your budget and assist you on this exciting journey in owning your first property!

Hi Mr Tan,

Yes, after owning a private property, the option of buying a hdb in future is still open.

If you were to get a BTO, you would need to dispose off your private property and wait for 30 months before applying. You could get a 2-room BTO flat at 35. Anything larger than a 2-room, you'd need to satisfy the criteria of forming a family nucleus in order to own one.

Alternatively, you may get a resale HDB, where there is no restriction in the size for singles at 35. You would need to dispose off your private property 6 months after the completion of your HDB flat purchase.

It is great that you are looking to own a private property by yourself, and i suggest that you get an in principle approval of you loan amount done before embarking on your search. I have a couple of reliable bankers that I can recommend to you.

Call/sms/whatsapp me at 92966781  and i would be glad to advise and assist you further, no obligations, and no agent fees needed.

Hope to hear from you!

Warmest Regards,
