Hi,

each person can only hold 1 hdb, as you own a hdb along with your brother ,it might not be possible to purchase the hdb with your husband until you transfer your share of the HDB to your sibling if possible.

If you are currently in a property journey selling/buying/renting/investing, feel free to reach out to me for more assistance and advice, I would be glad to help you.

Good morning,

Can your sibling owns the HDB alone? in terms of eligibility and financial capability to take over your CPF used and loan if any.

And if both of you and husband are eligible to buy a HDB, he has to dispose off his private property first and observe 15 months waiting period before both of you can purchase a resale HDB.

Unless both of you are 55 years old and above, you can buy a resale HDB up to 4rm flat immediate after disposal of private property.

Hope my sharing aids in your property needs. Do contact me if you need any assistance.

Best regards,

YT Tan

Hi,

He has to sell the private property, wait out 15 months, before he can be eligible to purchase resale HDB with you. If your name is added as occupier, you have to remove your name from the existing HDB and your sibling has to take over your share assuming he/she is 35 years and above.

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

-- HDB Toa Payoh 5-RM Sellers of Million-Dollar HDB, Mr. & Mrs Leong

We were fortunate to have met Ivan Ng. He was thorough in going through what the complicated home-selling process required of us and more so in understanding what we would like to achieve from the sale of our unit. His responsiveness and assurance, was a trait that we really appreciate. We managed to secure a sale that exceeded our expectation with Ivan’s advises. The offered price for our unit was a record set for the flats in the neighborhood. This was definitely supported by the fact that Ivan’s listing of our unit was detailed and stood out from other listings. Because of this, we also engaged Ivan's service to help us search and buy our new resale home. After some searches and viewings, we managed to secure one at a reasonable price with his help. With Ivan’s cheery and positive demeanour, selling our unit to procuring a new one, was a smooth journey for us. It was a pleasure to have worked with him. Read More

Hi, appreciate your sharing. Best to check with HDB as only each couple only can own 1 HDB.

Hi,

1) There are 2 obstacles to buying an HDB flat with your spouse:
(a) Observe a 15-month wait-out period after he sold his private property.
(b) transfer your ownership to your sibling within 6 months after the purchase, you may do so earlier.

2) Your name cannot be in 2 HDB flats as an owner or occupier.
3) Your name must be in the same HDB flat as your spouse.
4) You or your spouse can apply for the HFE after observing the 15-month wait-out period.
5) You can decide on the way of holding the property' joint-tenancy, Tenancy-In-Common, or sole ownership during the HFE application.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

No, each married couple can only own 1 HDB between them, therefore if you have owned a HDB with your sibling, you will also need to relinquish your ownership in that HDB, your husband will need to sell off the private property and observe the necessary window period before purchasing a resale HDB. Your sibling can retain the HDB if he or she meets the criteria to own the HDB under single ownership. Read More

Owning an HDB with your brother might affect buying a new HDB with your husband.

Here's why:

In Singapore, typically only one person can own an HDB flat at a time.
Since you already co-own an HDB with your brother, you might need to resolve that ownership before buying a new HDB with your husband.
Possible solution:

Discuss transferring your share of the current HDB to your brother (if possible) to free yourself up to co-own a new HDB with your husband.
Remember:

It's always best to check with HDB directly for the latest regulations and eligibility details.
