Good day to you,

Currently, there are no eligible schemes that allow siblings to jointly purchase a HDB unit. However, since both of you are over the age of 35, you have the opportunity to acquire an HDB unit independently under the Single Scheme. This arrangement allows each of you to take advantage of homeownership on your own while enjoying the benefits offered by this scheme.

Under current HDB regulations, unmarried siblings who are not orphans are not eligible to jointly apply for a 4-room BTO flat. Read More

Hihi

Good Day to you. I am Joey from ERA and I am happy to answer your concerns.
Under current HDB regulations, unmarried siblings who are not orphans are not eligible to jointly apply for a 4-room Build-To-Order (BTO) flat. The Orphans Scheme, which allows siblings to apply together, is specifically for orphaned siblings.
However, since both of you are over the age of 35, you have the opportunity to acquire an HDB unit independently under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme. This arrangement allows each of you to take advantage of homeownership on your own while enjoying the benefits offered by this scheme. Under this scheme, singles aged 35 and above can apply for 2-room Flexi BTO flats in non-mature estates.
Alternatively, you may consider purchasing a resale flat. The HDB resale market offers more flexibility, allowing singles aged 35 and above to purchase flats of any size, including 4-room units, in any location.
If you and your sibling are keen on living together, purchasing a resale flat jointly might be a viable option. This would allow both of you to co-own a larger flat, such as a 4-room unit, in a location of your choice.
I will be happy to advise you further. Do contact me at https://wa.me/6594365945 for a non obligatory advise.

Should you require assistance in buying, selling, renting or investing of properties in Singapore, you can contact me for a non obligatory discussion. I am an active & experienced agent and have assisted many happy sellers in their sales of houses for the past 15 years with GOOD track record. Happy to help.

TESTIMONIALS from our Happy Clients:

“We'd like to thank you …for assisting with the sale of our previous flat and purchase of our current home. You have kept us regularly updated throughout the process and demonstrated integrity during negotiations and final transactions. You have basically earned our trust as truly hard-working, diligent property agents. Would gladly recommend you to others. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours. “ Mr Nathan

“It has been our pleasure working with you for the disposal of our flat. You have put in the effort more than what you should have in helping us manage the buyers especially the Tan family.
We did also see the assistance you've provided to the Tan family where they were not represented by any agents and we've been impressed by your professionalism & not to mention the time you've taken to travel, at the buyers request, etc, etc.
We appreciate your efforts and wishing you both prosperity as we usher into the year of the Snake.
Thank you” Ms Karen Read More

hi,

Unmarried siblings who are not orphans cannot jointly apply for a 4-room BTO flat.

The Joint Singles Scheme only allows singles aged 35+ to apply together for a 2-room Flexi flat in non-mature estates, not larger BTO flats.

Only orphaned siblings may jointly apply for larger BTO flats like 4-room units under the Orphans Scheme.

Hope this helps,

This platform does not allow me to contact you directly so kindly contact me at https://wa.me/6597261112 I would be glad to assist you further.

Thank you and best regards,

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--
Yvonne (New launch buyer)

--Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and answer questions we had--

Hi

Unfortunately there aren't any available schemes for siblings who are not orphans. You can purchase under single singaporean scheme individually for BTO 2-room or HDB Resale.

If you have unrelated friend who is also single singaporean citizen, 35 years and above, can also consider joint singles scheme to purchase new EC together.

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

3. Unmarried siblings who are not orphans cannot jointly apply for a 4-room BTO flat under existing HDB rules.

Hi,

1) The government encourage all SC to get married.
2) This was the main reason there are many restrictions for single SC buying HDB flat.
3) Joint Single scheme allowed one or more singles (up to max of 4) to buy an HDB flats as per follow:
(a) BTO: 2-rm flexi flat (99yrs). All applicants must be at least 35 years old.
(b) Resale flats: any type excluding 3Gen flats.
At least 35 years old (unmarried or divorced)
At least 21 years old (widowed or an orphan)

4) Note that the above is on the applicants' profile only.
5) You are also subject to compliance to other requirements such as income ceiling, etc.
6) Please refer to this link for more details:
