bepgof 20 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) "The Housing and Development Board (HDB) will increase the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of non-subsidised flats from three to five years. Just to check, If one take HDB loan but no whatsoever grants, it is condsidered subsidised? Thanks My understanding of "subsidised" are: 1. First hand owner(BTO, DBSS, EC), whatever loan types, whether grant or no grant. 2. Resale with grant.(stay within xxxkm to parents) 3. Resale with HDB's "concessionary" loan. Now u understand why Ah kong stresses "concessionary" so much. Correct? Edited August 30, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct? 1 and 2 is correct... for 3, even if you take HDB loan, so long as you dun take grant, still considered as "non-subsidised"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aflop 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 Hi Guys, Need some advice here, i bought my unsubsidized flat in January (so siamed all the new rulings about 5yr MOP *heng ah* ), MOP in 3 years But i was also intending to buy a pte property next year, so do i now have to wait for 3 years under this new ruling? I want to rent out the pte and stay in my 3room flat as per old ruling. Can this still happen? Or must i complete my 3 year MOP before i can even buy a private? If so, it sounds abit wierd to me, because after my MOP of 3 years (or in the case of new owners, 5 years), i can rent out my flat AND buy a new private property, why would i bother staying in my flat? I would rent it out for better rental yields, this will be a nice snowball effect, in 5 years HDB prices would shoot up again due to this regulations? Or am i reading it wrongly?

By then, may be HDB will go back to old old old rules. HDB owner must stay at HDB even after MOP. Only can rent out private property. Don't think too much. Just wait until your MOP meet 1st and see what rules table HDB is using then start to worry and decide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
