    cannot, unless u appeal to HDB and ask for special premission, but very hard becoz i tried three times and also disapprove. u must stay 5 yrs full then u can sign the option of purchase to buy new flat. (5yr count from the day u collected the key from HDB)

    Just curious, if you have the dough for the condo, why made you decide to purchase the flat from HDB?

    Unlikely, considering one can flip it for profit anytime while serving the 5 yrs of your hdb.

    No. You can only buy after you stay at your HDB for 5 years.

    To clear some of your doubts, buy means sign the contract. Doesn't matter whether it is unbuilt, haven't TOP or already TOP.

    Stay at HDB means you first step into your new HDB, that is day 1. So if 1/1/2005 you take your HDB keys, you can only buy a private on 1/1/2010. Whether the private is still building or even haven't tear down the old buildings (en bloc), it doesn't matter. You can't even sign to buy.

    And if you are caught, good luck. One of the clause is you will have your flat forfeited.

    My advise is no point risking. If you get caught, then you will lose your flat. That is dumb.
