Asked by
My property agent suggested converting my 3NG unit to two dual unit to fetch better rental. His suggestion was to combined master and common bedroom into 1 studio unit with dry kitchen and washer area & hacking store room.

1. Is this legal by HDB?
2. If I choose to sell later, do I need build back all the walls plus store room?
3. Is there a mkt for such studio rental? Or wld it b a white elephant?

Thanks

Your property agent is a not a registered and licensed HDB renovation contractor. You should check with a professional for renovation works first to see feasibility. Importantly, it has to be within HDB guidelines and all the submissions done proper. If this is ok, then you can move on to analyse further into whether is such a move feasible. There are still gaps within the rental market that many tenants cannot find something suitable, either in terms of size, privacy as well as affordability. Read More

Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, if you like the idea or suggestion, then check with a designer/ contractor about it first before proceeding ahead as it will save you a lot of issue in future should you decide to sell.

My Answer with regards to your Question:

READ THIS LINK:

https://www.hdb.gov.sg/residential/living-in-an-hdb-flat/renovation/important-information

Here is an overview of some of the more important points to take note of when planning your renovations.

Engage only contractors from the Directory of Renovation Contractor (DRC) to carry out the renovation, including those works that do not require HDB’s approval

All demolition and hacking of walls (be it partial or complete) require HDB’s prior written approval. The approval ensures that any proposed demolition/ hacking work will not affect the structural integrity of the building and compromise public safety. If the structural integrity of the building is affected, it may potentially endanger the safety of your household and your neighbours

Do not instruct workers or any person to carry out demolition/hacking works that have not been approved by HDB in writing

Comply strictly with the permitted time stipulated by HDB so as not to inconvenience your neighbours

You may face prosecution for failure to engage contractors from Directory of Renovation Contractor (DRC) or if you are found to have contravened any of the Housing and Development (Renovation Control) Rules, such as carrying out unauthorised demolition or hacking works.
