Hi,

1) Yes, a Singapore citizen can buy a resale HDB flat whether he resides locally or overseas.
2) This is provided he meets all the eligibility conditions spelled by the HDB.
3) After 30th September 2022, there is a cooling measure implemented that anyone who owns a private residential property must observe a 15-month wait-out period after selling their private residential property.
4) Therefore you have a few important things to do now:
Appeal to the HDB and Apply for Singpass.
(a) Appeal to the HDB to waive this wait-out period due to you need to buy the HDB flat first before relocating back. You will sell the private property within 6 months after the key collection of the resale HDB flat.
(b) Do note that under the cooling measures, you are not eligible for any HDB loan and grants even if you are eligible under the new measure implemented.
(c) If you need the HDB loan and grants, you have to appeal to the HDB for those facilities.
(d) Apply for Singpass for yourself and your family. This facility is essential to buy a resale HDB flat.

5) Once the HDB approves your appeal, apply for HFE on the web:
https://www.hdb.gov.sg/residential/buying-a-flat/understanding-your-eligibility-and-housing-loan-options/application-for-an-hdb-flat-eligibility-hfe-letter

6) You can only start your home search after receiving the approved HFE. The validity of the HFE is 9 months.

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--
