Single Buying Bto With Parents

Featured Replies

like to ask, I am a single, never bought a flat before

my parents owned a fully paid up 4 rm flat, stay for more than 20 years.

I would like to apply for a BTO 3 rm with them.

someone told me I can apply with all 3 of us as applicant and pay the resale levy.

or can apply only me as the applicant and both my parents as occupiers and avoid the levy

is both methods valid?

There is no 'or'. One of your parents must be included as applicant. If you can, there will be many wanting to do the same.

Ooh..ya.

The Single Scheme is only for resale.

If that the case, I am quite interested to know the outcome as well... :P

Wouldn't that create a problem when you need to buy a flat with your future spouse? I know someone who bought an apartment under parents' instructions but now having problem applying for HDB.

Just my 2 cents, no harm meant.
