What do I need to do before I sell or transfer my property?

Question

Accepted Answer

Before selling or transferring your property, you must complete certain steps that vary depending on your property type.

If you own an HDB flat

You will need to check with HDB to confirm your eligibility to sell or transfer your flat. After receiving HDB’s consent, either HDB or your lawyer (if you have one) will liaise with the Board to determine any amount, that must be refunded to your CPF account. For more information on the resale process, please visit HDB’s website.

If you own a private property

You will need to instruct your lawyer to obtain consent from the Board before proceeding with the sale you sell or transfer your property.

These preliminary steps ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements before your property transaction can proceed.
