Own an HDB? Read This Before You Book an EC | EC Kaki EP 4 | Sam & Ben


Own an HDB? Two rules can cancel your EC booking ⚠️ EC Kaki EP 4
Sam & Ben explain Executive Condos simply, with Jun & Mei.
What you'll learn:
⏳ Your HDB flat must finish its 5-year MOP before you buy a new EC
🔑 You must sell your HDB within 6 months of collecting your EC keys
🏠 Good news: you can stay in your HDB while the EC is being built, no need to rent in between
💸 A second home means ABSD; married couples can usually get it refunded if the HDB is sold in time (check the IRAS rules for your case)
🏗️ EC late or flat slow to sell? Those 6 months go very fast
📅 Plan your HDB sale before the EC's TOP
