Hi,

If you are below 55 years old, you need to wait out 15 months after selling the EC before you can be eligible to purchase the resale HDB. If above 55 years old, need not wait out 15 months but can only be eligible to purchase resale HDB 4-room size and below.

I have helped various EC owners to do the same. Happy to discuss further at 97432395  . 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.

Sengkang EC Seller Mr. & Mrs. Siah : We have had a positive experience with Ivan throughout the sale of our EC. He is a very responsible and helpful agent. He managed to sell our EC within a month, which exceeded our expectations. He has gone the extra mile to ensure there are interested buyers viewing our flat every weekend, and has provided frequent updates on the progress. On top, he has provided valuable advice in our property planning journey. He is someone who listens to the needs of his clients, but at the same time value add by adding his own perspective and insights to what works the best. We are very grateful to have him through this sale, especially since this was our first time selling our EC

Condo Seller
Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends. Read More

Dear sir,

You are unable to commit to purchase a resale EA immediately after disposing off your 9 year old EC. There is a wait out period of 15 months before you are eligible to do so. If you are aged 55 or above, you may consider purchasing a resale 4 room HDB or smaller unit immediately after the sale.

There is no shortcut. Unless there is a compelling reason to do so, you may wish to submit an appeal to HDB on this and see how the outcome is.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Good day to you,

As a married couple, you are considered an entity hence despite that your wife does not co-own the unit, both of you need to wait for 15 months before either of you is eligible to purchase a resale HDB unit.

Hi,

I regret to inform you that you will not be able to purchase a resale Executive Apartment immediately after you sell your EC. You will have to serve a 15-month wait out period before you can purchase.

However, if both you and your spouse are aged above 55, you can purchase a resale HDB flat up to maximum 4-room flat without having to serve the 15-month wait out period.

May I know what are your plans to shift to an EA? Are you looking at a bigger space? Perhaps you could share more with me, so that I can come out with suitable proposals?

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile +65 97 48 63 05. I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Mark, your RIGHT choice

Hi,

1) You are not eligible to buy a resale EA immediately after selling your EC.
2) EC is considered a private residential property.
3) The cooling measure was implemented on 30th Sep 2022, anyone who sold a private residential property has to observe a 15-month wait-out period before being eligible to buy a resale HDB flat.
4) The exception was for those who are 55 years old or older to buy a resale 4-rm HDB flat.
5) Although your wife is not co-owner of the current EC. A married couple is considered a single entity when buying an HDB flat. Thus both names must be in the application regardless of the manner of holding the HDB flat.
6) So you have to prepare to rent a place during this 15-month wait-out period.
7) It will take an approximation of 3 months to find your ideal home, 3~4 months to complete the legal process, and 2~3 months for renovation. Therefore a 2-year rental period is expected.
8) Once you decide to go ahead with your plan. You can look for an agent to assist in executing your plan.

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

Hope the above answers 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.

Hi,

The current ex private property owners are as follows: If you are below 55 years old, you need to wait out 15 months after selling the EC before you can be eligible to purchase the resale HDB.

If you are above 55 years old, you need not wait out 15 months but you can only purchase resale HDB 4-room size flats and below.

Even though your wife is not a co-owner of the EC, she is unable to buy the EA in her own name because HDB requires married couples to be listed in the same application in HDB resale.

An alternative solution is to go through your numbers to see if your wife is able to acquire a private property that suit both your needs, as she don't need to pay any ABSD. Do note, the rules may change any moment, you could try to wait it out.

For further assistance feel free to reach out to me at +65 83 33 03 60 so we could discuss the best options for you in the current market.

Thank you!
