View Full Version : Dispose off HDB?
Need some expert guru advice here. If I owe a HDB that is fully paid for and bought a pc before CM5 so I don't need to sell away my HDB. But the PC is reaching TOP soon and we are thinking of selling it away then buy another PC. In this case, if I buy another PC now after selling away the existing PC, will I need to dispose off my HDB? I'm suspecting need to but really hope don't need to

Yes, the rule will apply if you sell your PC now and buy another one. Best option for now is for you to live in the HDB and rent out the condo.

Thanks! Does this mean if I buy a PC now, I must dispose off my HDB within 6 months? urghh!! Any way to contravene e ruling?
if you have fulfilled the MOP for HDB, u can buy a private no problem.

Where did you get this info? Or did you assume you need to dispose off your HDB if buy PC now? BTW do you know what is CM5?

Which rule of CM5 are you referring to?
No need to dispose any HDB lah... Its the other way round.. if you are a PC owner and looking to buy HDB then you need to dispose your PC within 6 months.
Copied the following from HDB website. If need to sell HDB when buying PC, then there is no such thing as HDB whole unit rental already unless for special reasons...
Q: I have bought a private residential property. Can I sublet my HDB flat and live in my private property?
[ Living in HDB Flats > Purchasing Private Properties ]
A: No. You and your family must continue to live in the HDB flat unless you have obtained approval from HDB to sublet the flat under the Subletting of Flat Policy.
To sublet the whole flat, you must also satisfy the condition of a 3-year or 5-year minimum Occupation Period (MOP) as follows:
3 years
Non-subsidised flat (flat purchased from the open market without a CPF housing grant) and the application for the purchase of the flat was received before 30 Aug 2010;5 years
Non-subsidised flat (flat purchased from the open market without a CPF housing grant) and the application for the purchase of the flat was received on or after 30 Aug 2010;
Subsidised flat (flat purchased directly from HDB or from the open market with a CPF housing grant)

I thought there is a rule that says cannot owe HDB and pc together and hence if u buy a pc, must dispose of HDB within 6 mths even if you have fulfilled 5 yr mop?

see which one you own first. HDB or PC
if you got HDB first, then you can go on buy your PC
but if you got PC first...then you cannot buy any HDB already unless you dump your HDB!:D:D

You can buy a condo and no need to sell your hdb since mop is over. My situation is similar to yours. Hdb fully paid, sold a pc recently and now scouting for another to invest in. So I checked with hdb and yes I can continue staying in my flat and invest in another condo.

can keep hdb... just pay 3% ABSD on your next condo (if you already own a hdb and a condo).... :D

U can buy as many condo as you want, if you have $, you will not be forced to sell your only hdb.....
But condo owner who wants to buy hdb now have to get rid of all his condos.
'so dont anyhow sell your hdb'

Yes, so please buy hdb/ec first before buy p condo.
Renting out HDB and stay in condo is not "fair".
I sense they will not allow renting out whole HDB unit very soon (back to the old good policy.)
You will then see the re-sale HDB COV come down.
There are 4 HDB units on my floor, only 2 are owner occupied.
Thanks,
Richard

Where do you suggest the foreign workers stay? The policy is aimed at alleviating the lack of supply of cheap rental flats. A reversal of this policy will cause workers and landlords to complain, companies to raise their cost of business and crash the property market. It will not happen in the next few years.
In the past, where do they stay? Then go back to the good old policies Lor, it's not like they have not done it before? The reason for super high resale HDB price? Because many people moved on to live in private or even migrate overseas (mostly PRs) & yet keeping their HDB for rental because rental yield so good!
