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

Story locations come from each story's own data or the places it names, matched against the site's lists of new launches, HDB towns and planning areas. Neighbourhood figures are HDB resale transactions published by HDB on data.gov.sg (last 12 months) and URA caveats; new launch details are from developers' published information. News write-ups summarise the original reporting linked on each story. Your reading history, saved stories and quiz score are kept only in this browser. Nothing here is financial advice.
