Hi Wayne,

To purchase a HDB flat, both yourself and spouse will need to include your names as either owner or occupier. Once the HDB is purchased, HDB will want your spouse to dispose the private property within 6 months of HDB completion.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your intentions and assist you further.

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.

“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.”

Good morning Wayne,

you need to include your fiancee's name into the flat thereafter if you decide to purchase first then get married.

If you decide to marry first then buy, both names have to be included into the application.

So for both scenario, her property will have to be sold eventually.

Whats your plan in mind? Have you thought of dipping into the private segment instead? So she can continue to hold on to her property.

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

YT Tan

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for your query.
You will need to dispose off her property within 6 months of your HDB completion once you both are married. What are your objectives? I would love to understand more to advise or propose alternate solutions in your case. If finances permit, would you be keen on a private property for yourself. In this case, you get to maximise your capital profits and also keep future spouse's unit. There are various ways to go around this, it all depends on your preferences, objectives and finances. Do contact me for a discussion to get some clarity.

The discussion , not limited to advise and insights, will also allow me to help you understand transaction caveats, historic sales report, available options and map out the market and the steps involved for a purchase. Perhaps you could contact me on my mobile or connect via zoom for an in detailed discussion. Thank you.

Hi Wayne,

1) If you already reached 35 yrs old, you may buy under the Single-Citizen scheme.
2) In this case, your future spouse will not need to sell off the private property after you got married.
3) But if you have not reached 35 yrs old and wanted to marry first before the purchase then your spouse will have to sell off the private property within 6 months upon key collection.
4) Even when you buy under the fiance/fiancee scheme, your future spouse will still have to sell off the private property after buying the HDB flat.

Hope the above answer your main concerns, but if there are more query, 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.
