Good afternoon,

Usually HDB will require spouse's name to be included into one of the HDBs they own and sell the other HDB.

No issue for you to be included in your spouse's HDB but if your name is removed, your sister wont be able to own the HDB as a single SPR.

Does your brother in law owns a HDB as well? If not, SPR or SC?
Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

Hi,

1) Under the current HDB policy, a single SPR cannot keep an HDB flat.
2) After married, the spouse's name has to insert into the HDB flat they are staying in.

3) There are 2 consequences of your situation:
(a) You cannot be the sole owner of your current HDB flat.
(b) Your sister cannot be an occupier or owner of her hubby's flat because she owned an HDB flat.

4) I suggest you appeal to HDB to keep the current flat because you were under the old system.
5) If HDB allowed you to keep it, you will have to buy over your sister's share of ownership.
6) Application for SC has nothing to do with your current situation.
7) If your brother-in-law bought his current flat with the single grant, once he includes your sister as the owner he is also eligible for a top-up grant of $25k.

8) I suggest you submit your appeal via this link:

Hi,

In this situation, your Sister and her Husband will have to sell of either one of the flats, as they cannot own 2 HDB flats.

It is a not a must that she sells her HDB flat, because her husband can sell his HDB flat. They are given a choice of which flat to sell.

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.
