Good morning,

Sorry to inform you that you have to observe a 15 months waiting period first before you are eligible to purchase a resale HDB with your spouse even he/ she is an essential occupier unless both of you are 55 years old and above, you will be eligible to purchase up to a 4RM flat.

https://www.hdb.gov.sg/residential/buying-a-flat/flat-and-grant-eligibility/couples-and-families

Extracted from HDB website:
All applicants and occupiers listed in the resale application:

- Must not own or have an interest in any local or overseas private residential property; and
- Must not have disposed of any private residential property in the last 15 months before the resale application.

You guys have to dip into private market to purchase a place if not, have to rent first while waiting to purchase a resale HDB.

Which alternative will suit you guys better?

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

Unfortunately you will have to wait out 15 months before your wife is eligible to purchase the resale HDB with you, unless you are 55 years old and above and buying 4-room size and below.

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,

Your waiting period will be 15 months after the sale of the private condo unless both of you are 55 years or older, then you will be eligible to consider a resale 4room flat or smaller now. Have you owned any HDB before and obtained any grant?

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.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Hi,

I regret to inform you that you're not eligible to get any Housing Grant, as your spouse had just sold off a private property.

If both you and your wife are below age 55, you will also not be eligible to purchase a HDB resale flat. You will be required to serve a 15 month wait out period after the private property sale to be eligible to purchase a resale HDB flat.

If both of you are above age 55, you will be eligible to purchase a resale HDB up to 4RM in size. You need not serve the 15-month wait out period.

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,
