- Not the owner of a flat bought from HDB, or an EC/ DBSS flat bought from a developer
- Not sold a flat bought from HDB, or an EC/ DBSS flat bought from a developer
- Not received any CPF Housing Grant for the purchase of an HDB resale flat

- Resale flat bought using a CPF Housing Grant
- EC/ DBSS flat bought from the developer
- Once taken some form of housing subsidy (e.g. benefitted under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS), HUDC estate privatisation)
For applicants used to / still own local / overseas non-HDB Property
For an EC flat application, all the listed owners and essential occupiers must not own, dispose, or have an estate or interest in any other local or overseas property:
- Within 30 months before the date of the EC application, and up to the date of taking possession of the EC
The properties considered in this instance include but are not limited to:
- Privatised HUDC flats
- Properties acquired by gift
- Properties inherited as beneficiaries under a will or as a result of the Intestate Succession Act
- Private property
- Properties owned, acquired, or disposed through nominees, regardless of properties’ location
_____________________________________________________________________________________
For applicants used to / still own HDB Flat / DBSS EC
Provided that you only own/ owned 1 of the following units prior to your application:
- Flat bought from HDB
- EC/ DBSS flat bought from the developer
- HDB resale flat bought using a CPF Housing Grant (only applies to first-timer applicants)
In essence, an eligible Singapore Citizen is allowed to buy the above properties twice in total, not twice per type of property.
If you have already bought 2 such properties, you will not be eligible to apply for an EC or be listed as an essential occupier in an application.
This usually happens when someone:
- Has not met the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of a current flat/ EC unit
- Is a divorcee
- Has previously cancelled a flat application, or twice chose to not book a flat
MOP requirements: current owner/ essential occupier of a flat or an EC unit
Before applying for the new EC unit, you need to check if you or any other flat applicant(s)/ essential occupier(s) to be listed in the EC application own any of these:
- HDB flat bought from HDB or on the open market
- EC unit/ DBSS flat bought from the developer
If so, that person must have already met that flat/ EC’s 5-year MOP before he can apply for a new EC unit. An essential occupier must also have met the flat/ EC’s 5-year MOP before he can be listed in a new EC application.
In the case of ECs, you must also wait out a 30-month period from the EC’s effective date of disposal, which we will verify using your Notice of Transfer, or any other such documentation we may require.
Type of Property | Time Period Before You Can Apply for a New EC Unit |
---|---|
|
MOP of 5 years |
|
MOP of 5 years + 30 months from date of EC disposal |
Divorcee
In case of a divorce, conditions will apply for the following types of property:
- Flat bought from HDB
- Resale flat bought with a CPF Housing Grant
- DBSS flat/ EC bought from the developer
3-year wait-out period
- For 3 years from the date of the divorce, only 1 party in the divorce can own any of the above properties
- If any of the above properties was the matrimonial home and is now owned by your ex-spouse, you must wait for 3 years before you can buy or be listed as an essential occupier in one
- If the matrimonial home was not one of the above, or if there was no matrimonial home, 1 party can apply for the abovementioned property types. However, the other party must first undertake to not own or be listed as an essential occupier of said properties for 3 years from the date of the divorce
Exception
There is no need for any 3-year wait-out period or undertaking if you are:
- Buying one of the above properties with your parents and/ or new spouse
- A parent meeting these conditions:
- All of your children are aged below 18 at the date of the divorce
- All the children are under your legal custody and you are the only parent given the care and control of your children
Note: The 3-year wait-out period will not apply where the Option-to-Purchase (OTP) is granted on or after 6 Mar 2018.
Cancelled an HDB flat application after booking a flat
If you booked a new HDB flat and subsequently cancel your booking, you must wait out a 1-year period from the date of the cancellation before you can apply or be listed as an essential occupier of a:
- New HDB flat
- DBSS flat/ EC bought from a developer
- Resale flat bought using a CPF Housing Grant
- Resale flat announced for SERS
Terminated the Sale and Purchase Agreement for an EC/ DBSS flat
