I co-own a hdb in the west with my hubby. We applied for the new flat in 2007 and received it last year. His cpf alone has enough for the redemption of our housing loan. I understand that I cannot transfer the home ownership to him as we bought the flat directly from HDB.
But if we were to sell our hdb upon the MOP of 5 years, can HE alone buy a flat from the resale market despite being married?

Morning Audrey,

Sad to say, the direct answer is NO. In the eyes of the Law and HDB, you and your husband forms a family bond. HDB allow both of you to purchase the unit, due to that bond.
Of coz, if your marriage is to be resolved, then you and him will be purchasing under different scheme.

FYI

    Hi,
    Does tt mean tt after selling off our current flat, he also cannot buy a resale under the single scheme?
    N if he can use his cpf to fund for e resale in full, my name must also b included as co owner?
    Thanks

The S&P process needs careful and confident planning with resale checklist submission, HDB, CPF, bank and lawyer etc. Recently my client 'suddently' bought a dream condo while 'holding on' to a HDB flat. They needed the extra 'funds' for the condo. Hence, after a series of planning, discussion and deliberation, they finally decided to sell their HDB unit. If you want a consistent S&P process, call us for an opinion. The stress relief effort is enormous and the commission is insignificant. Check this site: www.catherinepang.com Read More
