How do I change my household details, e.g., addition/ removal of household member(s), change in status from an applicant to an occupier or vice versa, marital status, citizenship, ownership of private properties, etc.?
The applicant(s) and occupier(s) listed in your new or resale flat application must remain the same as those in your HFE letter application.
If there are changes to your household details, this may affect your eligibility to buy an HDB flat, obtain CPF housing grants and/ or take up an HDB housing loan and hence, invalidate your HFE letter. Accordingly, HDB reserves the right to cancel your new or resale flat application(s).
For new flat application, the usual financial forfeitures and consequences for the cancellation will apply, depending on the stage of the application at the time of the cancellation.
For resale flat application, you will remain liable to the flat seller under the Option to Purchase which you have exercised.
If you need to make changes, please follow the steps below, depending on the stage of your HFE letter application: Stage of HFE Letter Application Procedure Pending approval Cancel your HFE letter.
