Hi,

Yes its possible if they want to get 4-room size and below resale HDB. Do they need their sale proceeds to come back first before they can fund the purchase? If so, its good to start earlier since it takes time to liquidate the overseas property plus withdraw the funds to singapore. They will need to sell all their overseas
residential properties. I am contactable at 97432395  for further discussion.

Hope the above clarifies. 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.

Warm Regards,

Yes, they are eligible to purchase a 4 room resale HDB or smaller unit. Do they require any loan for the 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:

Yes, it's possible for your parents, Singaporean citizens aged 55 and above, to purchase a resale HDB flat immediately upon selling their overseas property. Here are some considerations they should keep in mind:

Funding Timing: If they need to use the proceeds from selling their overseas property to fund the purchase, it's advisable to start the process earlier. Selling overseas properties and transferring funds to Singapore can take time.

Liquidating Overseas Property: They will need to sell all their overseas residential properties before purchasing the HDB flat in Singapore.

Property Size: They are eligible to purchase a 4-room resale HDB flat or a smaller unit.

Financial Planning: Consider if they require a loan for the HDB purchase and ensure their financial arrangements are in order.

Feel free to reach out for further assistance or clarification.

Hello!

Yes so long they are both above 55 years of age, they would be eligible to purchase resale HDB immediately.
However, they can only purchase 4-room and below!

I have assisted many clients in HDB transactions, feel free to contact me anytime!
Would be very happy to assist!

Hi,

1) Your parents can buy a 4-rm or smaller HDB flat without first selling their overseas property.
2) However, they have to sell the overseas property within 6 months after the key collection of the purchase.
3) The first thing that your parents must do is to apply for Singpass. This will ease the whole HFE application and buying process.
4) They can do the Singpass application online or any CC physically.
https://www.singpass.gov.sg/home/ui/register/instructions
https://www.stb.gov.sg/content/dam/stb/documents/mediareleases/Annexes_SingapoRediscovers_Vouchers/Annex%20B%20-%20SingapoRediscovers%20Vouchers.pdf

4) The next is to apply for an HFE before proceeding to any viewing after receiving the Singpass. No viewing is allowed without a valid HFE.
5) The HFE is valid for 9 months, so they have more than enough time to view and decide the purchase.
6) You need to make sure the HFE is still valid when you submit the resale application.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

I hope the above answers your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.
