Reselling your HDB flat without an agent in Singapore is possible, but it requires a good understanding of the process and careful attention to detail. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Register Intent to Sell:
Log in to the HDB Resale Portal using your SingPass.
Register your Intent to Sell your flat. This will provide you with information about your eligibility to sell, ethnic quota for your block, upgrading status, and recent transaction prices of nearby flats.
You can officially start granting the Option to Purchase (OTP) to potential buyers after 7 days from the date of registration.
2. Prepare Your Flat:
Ensure your flat is clean and well-maintained to attract potential buyers.
Consider staging your flat to make it more appealing.
Take clear photos of your flat for online listings.
3. Market Your Flat:
List your flat on the HDB Resale Portal.
Consider listing it on property portals and social media platforms.
Create an attractive listing with detailed information and photos.
4. Conduct Viewings:
Schedule viewings with potential buyers.
Be prepared to answer questions about your flat and the surrounding area.
5. Negotiate and Grant OTP:
Negotiate the price and terms of the sale with the buyer.
Once an agreement is reached, grant the buyer an OTP using the HDB-prescribed format.
The buyer has 21 days to exercise the OTP by paying an option fee (typically 1% of the agreed price) and signing the OTP.
6. Submit Resale Application:
Once the OTP is exercised, both you and the buyer must submit a resale application through the HDB Resale Portal within 7 days.
Pay the necessary administrative fees.
7. Await HDB's Approval:
HDB will process your resale application and verify all documents.
This process usually takes about 8 weeks.
8. Complete Resale:
Once approved, you and the buyer will attend a resale completion appointment at HDB.
Sign the necessary documents and make the final payment.
Important Considerations:
Legal Assistance: Even without an agent, it's advisable to engage a lawyer to review the legal documents and ensure a smooth transaction.
Buyer's Agent Commission: If the buyer is represented by an agent, you will typically be responsible for paying their commission, which is usually 1% of the selling price.
DIY Resources: HDB provides various resources and guides on their website to assist sellers. Utilize these resources to understand the process and requirements.
By following these steps and taking necessary precautions, you can successfully sell your HDB flat without engaging an agent. Remember to stay informed and seek professional help when needed.
