It depends if you are able to afford this purchase financially. HDB purchase eligibility does not require both husband and wife to be working in order to purchase, it is more towards safeguarding the finances to ensure that the purchasers are comfortable financially with their purchase.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 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.

My Answer with regards to your Question:

In Singapore, the eligibility for a Built-To-Order (BTO) flat is assessed at the point of application. However, there are certain conditions and requirements that you need to fulfill throughout the process, including before collecting the keys to your BTO flat. Quitting your job after the application but before key collection may have implications, but it doesn't necessarily mean automatic forfeiture. Here are some points to consider:

Eligibility Assessment:

Your eligibility for a BTO flat is primarily assessed at the time of application. However, you need to meet certain criteria throughout the process, including during the key collection phase.

Occupancy Requirement:

HDB has occupancy requirements, and you are generally required to occupy the flat for a minimum period before you are allowed to sell or sublet it. If there are changes in your employment status after key collection, it may not necessarily lead to forfeiture, but you should inform HDB about any changes.

HDB Notification:

It's advisable to inform HDB about any changes in your employment or financial situation. HDB may provide guidance on the next steps and any implications for your BTO flat.

Loan Financing:

If you have taken a housing loan from HDB or a bank, quitting your job might affect your loan repayment capacity. It's important to consider the financial implications and explore options with your lender.

Consult HDB:

For accurate and personalized advice based on your specific situation, it's recommended to contact HDB directly. You can reach out to HDB through their official website or visit one of their service centers to discuss your circumstances and seek guidance.

HDB Eligibility Criteria:

To be eligible to buy an HDB flat in Singapore, one of the eligibility conditions is that the buyer should not own any other residential property locally or overseas at the time of application.

Commercial Property Ownership:

Ownership of commercial property overseas may not disqualify you from buying an HDB flat, as HDB eligibility rules typically focus on residential properties.

For the most current and personalized advice, reach out to the HDB

Hi,

1) According to the process for BTO purchase, there is no reassessment of your income status at the point of key collection.
2) Unless you had applied the deferred payment scheme when signing the lease agreement.

3) However, there are some payments to be made at the point of key collection:

(a) Balance payment (can use CPF): 10% of the purchase price if taking an HDB loan, 5% if taking a bank loan.
(b) Resale levy if applicable (must be in cash)
(C) Survey fees (must be in cash): 2-rm $163.50, 3-rm $231.60, 4-rm $299.75, 5-rm $354.25, Executive $408.75
(d) Registration fees (must be in cash):
(i) Lease In-Escrow registration of fee of $38.30
(ii) Mortgage In-Escrow registration fee of $38.30
(e) Stamp Duty for deed of assignment (must be in cash): $500
(f) HPS (Home Protection Scheme)(can use CPF)
(g) Fire Insurance (must be in cash)
