Asked by
Am I eligible to buy a EC. I am Singapore and my husband is PR. We sold our private property last month and have no other property in Singapore. Are we allowed to buy a new EC which will be completed in 2022. I know there is a waiting period of 2.5 years but can we apply now since the EC will be completed only in 3 years.

Hi Mrs Lau, Generally, PRs are not allow to purchase new ECs straight from the developers. The waiting period is only applicable to SCs who are planning to get BTOs or New ECs from HDB. However, there are projects which are nearlyt as affordable as ECs. Do drop me a call or e mail for me to guide you through these projects before you start your search.

Hi,

Unfortunately no, you have to wait out 30 months before you can apply for new EC. Alternatively there are projects which are selling close to EC prices which I be happy to introduce. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Hi Mrs Lau,

Unfortunately the regulations does not apply that way. You will need to have disposed your private property for 30 months before you can apply to purchase an EC.

I am sure there is/are certain reasons you have identified that the EC is your preferred choice. Perhaps you may want to share more about your plans such that we can perhaps propose alternative solutions?

Hi Mrs Lau,

As explained by my colleagues, you will not be able to apply for a new EC as you will need to observe the 30 months waiting period.

Would you like to consider a 2 bedroom in a development with very good upside potential? It is within 5 mins walk to MRT and offers very high upside capital appreciation in an area undergoing a huge transformation. Quantum is very affordable at slightly above 900k at very attractive level of $13xx psf.

I have a couple of clients who have already purchased this exciting development. Please feel free to contact me so that I can share with you more information on this development!
