Owners are divorced – HDB flat for sale
HDB flat for sale – Under the HDB’s prevailing policy for divorce, a divorced party who has the custody of the child (including care and control) is allowed to retain the flat subject to the eligibility conditions.
If there are no children from the marriage, the divorced party (flat owner) may retain the flat under the Single Singapore Citizen (SSC) Scheme, provided:
- He/she is a Singapore citizen
- He/she is at least 35 years old
- The matrimonial flat must be a resale flat purchased from the open market without the CPF Housing Grant for Family.
If the matrimonial flat is bought directly from HDB (including resale flats bought with the CPF Housing Grant for Family), the 5-year minimum occupation period (MOP) must be satisfied before the divorced party is allowed to take over the flat under the SSC Scheme.
If the divorce occurs after the MOP and all eligibility conditions for resale are met, the seller must produce the following documents: Deed of Separation; or Interim Judgment and Certificate of Making Interim Judgment Final and Court Order (if any).
If the divorce is within the MOP and none of the owners is eligible to retain the flat, the owners may have to return the flat to HDB, subject to HDB’s approval. The compensation for the return of flat will be determined by HDB.
