Good afternoon Michael,

I do understand your intention to obtain the proximity housing grant by including your parents in the application but do take note that by doing so, your parents will have to sell their private property within 6 months from purchase completion date. Do refer to the link provided below. This will not be ideal for your parents.

Why not you give this a try?

Check with HDB whether is it okay to obtain proximity grant with your parents’ current property address even though they are currently overseas.

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 Michael

A very good day to you.

I am afraid that your parents will have to sell their private property within 6 mths if you intend to put their names as the essential occupiers. I understand your good intentions.

If you dont mind, 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.

Best regards

Hi Michael,

If you include your parents as the essential occupiers to enjoy the Proximity Housing Grant, they will have to sell off their private property (or transfer the ownership to your brother and sister-in-law), even though they are not staying there.

Also, they will have to fulfill the 5-year MOP together with you, before they are able to purchase another residential property.

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.

Best regards,
