Good morning,

If you meant to purchase another resale hdb on your own name, its not possible as HDB recognizes both of you as a married entity family nucleus and require both names to be owners for the next flat purchase. This means he can't purchase a condo.

Alternatively you can each buy private properties under each individual names, this is one of the feasible options to have 2 properties.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

We're looking to find an investment property next and will be glad to work with Ivan again for the long-term to restructure our property portfolio. He has become a friend now, and we are most happy to recommend his professional services to our loved ones and friends.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered all our enquiries. He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked. Thanks Ivan! :)

-- Sellers of Exec Maisonette Gaffoor & Isha --

Buying or selling property is a big decision, as we wanted to make sure our agent is someone we can trust, get in touch with, and approachable. Ivan certainly fits the bill. He was available anytime of the day to answer our queries and was with us throughout the process. We have no reservations in recommending him.

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers at Sengkang, Jonathan & Abigail --

By faith, we signed the contract with Ivan and in less than two weeks time, we opened our house for the first and the only viewing, days later the OTP was signed! Thank you for all your excellent diligent services and all the professional advise!

-- HDB upgraders to New EC owners Mr. & Mrs. Goh --

My unit was marketed by another agent back in Q3 2017 and after more than 3 months, there wasn’t any offer. I almost lost hope and thankfully I made the right decision to switch to Ivan. Through his hard work, perseverance & commitment, my unit was sold by Q1 this year. Would definitely recommend Ivan’s services to any potential sellers out there. Read More

Hi Mdm,

If you had served your 5-year MOP of your HDB flat, you will be eligible to sell it. Your husband could then purchase a condo under his name without having to pay ABSD, assuming both of your are Singaporeans.

Should he purchased the condo, it will not make sense for you to purchase a HDB flat under your sole name, because that would mean that he will have to sell off the condo that he just purchased. SSD would then be payable. You could however purchase another condo under your sole name, also without ABSD.

I am experienced and well-versed in both private and HDB resale transactions. I will be able to assist you in your upgrading 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,

Dear madam,

I am assuming that you will have already fulfilled the Minimum Occupation Period for the existing 5room flat, therefore it is possible to sell this existing 5room flat and proceed in the purchase of private property. Nevertheless, it will not be possible for you to purchase a smaller flat in this circumstances as the HDB viewed both husband and wife as a single entity, therefore should you decide to purchase a smaller flat, your husband will have to dispose the private condo purchased.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years 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 8,500 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my clients’ 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 Mdm,

Unfortunately under the current HDB rules and regulations, you will not be able to purchase a HDB under your single name as you are married. However, you will be able to purchase a condo under your own name. A condo may offer a higher upside capital appreciation in the long run as compared to HDB.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can share with you on why a private condo is a greater asset as compared to a HDB in the long run.

I was featured recently on Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) Newsletter:

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients

“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”
Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.
Weilun & Benita (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations. We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”

Hi,

After you sell your HDB to buy a condo, and then buy another HDB, you will have to dispose the condo that you have bought within 6 months.
If you sell your HDB to buy another HDB, you have to wait for 5 years MOP (minimum occupation period) before you can sell it off and buy condo.

So, the order would be
1. Sell your current HDB
2. Buy new HDP
3. Wait for MOP
4. Buy condo

Better recommendation would be
1. Sell your current HDB
2. Buy a condo under your husband name
3. Buy another small condo under your name

You can contact me at 9726 1112  for a non-obligatory meet-up to discuss in details

Thank you and best regards,
