Is there a way to sell a Jointly owned HDB flat under dual singles if one party does not agree?
Owner A offers to buy over owner B shares but they can’t compromise on the amount. Is there a way to ask owner A to buy over owner B shares at market value instead or can owner B get a court order to force sales of the flat thru open market if owner A keep refusing to sell it off?
Lastly, can owner B go back to stay in the flat even owner A doesn’t agree? (Owner A had been staying there “alone” for the past 5years)

Hi,

Not possible in this case as both joint owner will need to agree on the selling part and also both owners will need to sign on the contract if the sale of the flat gets thru.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

If the HDB is jointly owned, you will not be able to force one party to sell his or her share to the other party. It is also difficult to get a court order to enforce the sale. Individual owners have the right to occupy the property and therefore is able to stay there.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further clarifications.

Regards,

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”

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.

“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.”
