I've a friend who bought a flat and later convinced the neighbour to sell them theirs as well...and her parents bought them and they knocked down... guess she was lucky... all the best for your search!

waileong 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2007 If it is already a jumbo flat, you can buy and sell like any other flat.If you intend to buy your neighbour's unit to make a jumbo flat, then you have to go to HDB to apply for permission to convert the unit. Once you have the permission, then you can buy over your neighbour's unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raincole 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 Dun think u can sell off one of the unit, cos jumbo = 2 in 1.So have to sell off the whole unit. You better check with HDB on this...If you intend not to hack to make it a whole unit, then you don't have to get 2 unit side by side. Just get a unit for yourself, and a unit for your pil in the same area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
