Hi,
You may be required to sell away the HDB since you guys are no longer eligible to keep the flat. (need SPR SPR married couple of 3 years SPR status to be eligible). 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.

If one member of a couple owning a Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat in Singapore relinquishes their Permanent Resident (PR) status, it can have certain implications on the ownership and eligibility status of the HDB flat. Here's what typically happens:
Eligibility to Retain the HDB Flat: The ability to retain the HDB flat largely depends on the remaining owner's citizenship status and whether the flat was purchased directly from HDB or from the resale market with the CPF Housing Grant.
If the remaining owner is a Singapore Citizen: Generally, you should be able to retain ownership of the HDB flat. Singapore Citizens have more leeway in terms of property ownership rules compared to PRs.
If the remaining owner is a Non-Citizen (including PRs): You might face eligibility issues. Non-Citizens, including PRs, are subject to more restrictions in owning HDB flats. If both owners were PRs and one relinquishes their PR status, the situation becomes more complex, and you may need to contact HDB for specific advice.
Minimum Occupation Period (MOP): Regardless of the change in PR status, you are still required to fulfill the MOP if you have not already done so. The MOP is typically 5 years from the date of possession of the flat.
Change in Subsidies or Grants: If you purchased the flat with the use of CPF Housing Grants, there might be implications on these grants, especially if they were specific to PR households. It's advisable to check with HDB or the CPF Board for any adjustments that might need to be made.
Updating HDB: It’s important to inform HDB about the change in PR status of any flat owner. They will then advise on the next steps and whether any actions need to be taken regarding your flat.
Potential Need to Sell: In some cases, especially where eligibility criteria are no longer met, HDB may require you to sell the flat. This usually happens in situations where neither owner is a Singapore Citizen.
Each case can have unique circumstances, so it's essential to get tailored advice based on your specific situation. If you need further assistance or clarification, feel free to reach out.

Hi Sir/Mdm,
If both of you are SPRs and one of you were to give up the PR status, HDB will require you to sell the unit in the open market if the MOP has been fulfilled as you will not be able to continue holding on to the flat as a single SPR.
I have handled such situation before in which my clients gave up their PR status. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with further assistance.

http://bit.ly/CEAnews
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.”

If both of you are SPR and 1 of you give up the SPR, then HDB will require the unit to be sold.
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.
