I currently am staying in an EC, TOP 2014 so I still have 2 more years of MOP. However, our family has expanded and we need a larger living space. Anyone has any experience with owners having to seek special permission to sell unit before MOP?

Hi,

Appeal is possible, and generally for family planning reasons there's a chance, but approval will be on case by case basis and could take some time. We would need to first correspond with the HDB Branch that is in charge of the town your EC falls under.

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,

--- HDB Flat Sellers Uncle "Seng" and Mdm. Png ---

Translation from Mandarin:

We are from the Pioneer Generation, already in our 70s, and have no experience selling HDB flat. As our new BTO is arriving, we considered selling our flat earlier.

We felt he was a patient agent who is willing to hear out our plans and concerns, and explain new HDB selling procedures clearly to us. He is also a hardworking agent who did Roadshows for weeks to create awareness for our unit, and we quickly found a buyer through this avenue.

We also appreciate that he made the extra effort to accompany us down to the Banks and Town Council to help us with the outstanding paperwork procedures, and ensure the sale go through smoothly. Throughout the process, we always felt assured and happy, as Ivan was always professional, accessible and saw things through till conclusion. Ivan will remain as a family friend and we will be glad to invite him over for coffee when our BTO is ready.

--- HDB Flat Sellers Mr. Hayum and Ms. Azizah ---

Ivan has justified our faith in appointing him as our Exclusive Agent. He transacted our unit at 620k, above valuation & highest price ever achieved for our block, within 2 months.

In a slow market, you need a proactive & committed agent who puts the extra effort. Besides advertising in papers & online intensively, he also had personally distributed flyers & spoke to potential buyers in neighboring blocks to increase exposure. Every week there were viewings & feedback.

He actually secured 2 attractive offers but assessed that the 2nd one will be a more smooth transaction. We're glad to have proceeded with his advice for a successful completion. Throughout he was professional and responsive. We wish him a great career and will be happy to recommend his services.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered the enquiries on property guru website.

He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked.

When it comes to selling of our unit, he was always prompt in arranging for viewings and he also tried his best to arrange and consolidate the viewings due to our time constraints. He is a reliable and prompt agent and is always willing to clarify any concerns and questions that we have.

Thanks Ivan! :) Read More

Hi,

Given your genuine reason, you may appeal for special permission to sell your EC before the MOP period. Success will be on a case-by-case basis.

You can maybe pay your MP a visit first to explain your situation to him. Perhaps he can help you with the appeal?

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen

Dear Sir/Mdm,

I have assisted my owners to successfully get the approval to sell off their unit before the 5 years MOP. However, do take note that as you have 2 more years before your MOP, seller stamp duty of 4% is still applicable if you sell you unit.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with further assistance!

Dear sir/madam,

The past experience or cases where owners sell their unit prior to MOP are not taken into consideration when you submit for an appeal as they have made it clear that it will be on a case by case basis, therefore if you indeed have a need to upsize your place, perhaps you should submit an appeal stating your reasons and justifications as well. All the best to you in the year of rooster!
