Asked by
I have a HDB flat that is still 2 years away from MOP. I just had a newborn daughter and would like to move closer to my parents to help take care of her. I am looking to purchase a private property near them without selling off my current HDB flat. Would this be a valid reason to appeal to HDB to waive off the MOP and does anyone have success in this.

Hi, sorry I don’t think HDB will likely approve your case but you could always try and no harm writing them an email and to appeal.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

I have helped my clients to appeal successfully to waive their MOP, sold off their current HDB and purchase a private property near their parents place. However, HDB will not approve if you do not sell away your HDB.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can share with you more and guide you through the appeal.

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, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”
Susana (Buyer)
“Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important vi Read More

HI,

If it before MOP, like my colleague below mentioned, no harm trying to appeal to HDB. However, one critical question that will come to their mind will be why not sell your HDB? Without selling and just appealing to buy a 2nd property is not a strong justification but well, no harm trying.

Feel free to contact me to discuss further.

Thanks!

Hi;

If you dont sell off your HDB, you will be subjected to 12% ABSD, are you ok with that ? Not to mention 2nd home loan wont be at max 75% ( assuming your current HDB is still with loan ) .. Feel free to contact me for further discussion as I'm unable to contact you via here. Thanks !

Hi

You may appeal to HDB and I have personally seen successful cases on this. I can even assist you to write an appeal letter on this. However HDB will unlikely allow you to retain your HDB even if the appeal is successful. Do note even if you wait till uor MOP is over, an additional 12% ABSD is still applicable if you wish to buy a second property without selling off your HDB. In addition, it is almost impossible for you to do a decoupling for HDB if that is what you intent to. I do provide a free and non obligatory discussions on property transactions in Singapore. Do contact me at 93375051  for a discussion on this.

Hi,

You can try to appeal to HDB, though it is unlikely that HDB will approve you purchasing a second property while your MOP is still not up.

If you were to appeal to sell off the HDB early due to family reasons, the chances of success will be definitely higher. I have successfully advised and assisted many clients appeal for a waiver.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen
