Hi Louie,

As long as both of you get married, you will be required to dispose either 1 of the HDB you own. Whether or not MOP has been met, this will be the requirement. The objective of HDB is to provide affordable public housing to Singaporeans and Permanent Residents, and being married, you are considered to be starting 1 family therefore only 1 home is required.

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.

Hi Louie,

In your case, the moment both of you are married, you could only choose one to stay and to dispose off the other flat.

Good morning Louie,

I understand your concerns but under HDB regulation, one family nucleus (married couple) can only own a HDB at any point of time so they would most likely require one of you sell. Seller's stamp duty might be applicable if either of your ownership period is less than 3 years. We can calculated the estimated profit or loss in the event you are required to sell either unit.

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 Louie,

As soon as you get married, either of you will have to dispose off at least one of the HDB flats within 6 months, as you are only allowed to keep 1 HDB flat as a single family nucleus.

If you wish to sell via the open market, you will have to get special approval from HDB to sell prior to MOP. Another possibility is that HDB to repossess the flat back from you, and pay you the "market price".

I also understand your concerns with regards to HDB's replies. You're not alone facing this. What you can do is to submit e-feedback form to them on this matter.

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 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.
