HDB PROPERTY AGENT
Singapore HDB Property Agent for Buyers, Sellers, and Upgraders
Buying or selling an HDB flat comes with rules that shift depending on your exact situation. MSR, TDSR, MOP, and grant eligibility all interact differently for every household. As an experienced HDB property consultant in Singapore, Able has guided buyers, sellers, and upgraders through BTO ballots, resale transactions, and HDB-to-condo upgrades, translating policy into plain numbers before you commit to a viewing, a listing, or a loan.

COOLING MEASURES, EXPLAINED
The HDB Rules That Actually Affect You
The Mortgage Servicing Ratio caps your HDB monthly repayment at 30 per cent of gross monthly income. The Total Debt Servicing Ratio caps total debt at 55 per cent. Loan-to-Value limits, the 15-month wait-out for private property owners, and the Minimum Occupation Period are the rules that most often catch buyers and upgraders off guard.
You do not need to memorise the policy details. Able will tell you which rules apply to your specific profile, what the numbers come out to, and what the practical implications are for your timeline. Read more about your buying strategy or your selling strategy.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions Able Hears Most
Can I afford an HDB resale flat?+
Affordability depends on your household income, existing loans, age, and citizenship status. For most Singaporean families, the HDB loan with MSR and TDSR rules forms the baseline. CPF Ordinary Account savings, cash on hand, and grant eligibility shift the picture significantly. Able will walk through your specific position and give you a realistic price band before viewings start, not after.
When can I sell my HDB after MOP?+
You can list your HDB the day your Minimum Occupation Period ends. Most owners wait a little longer to align with their next purchase or with a stronger market window. Selling immediately at MOP can be the right call if you have a clear upgrade plan and the numbers work. It can also be wrong if you have no replacement property lined up and the rental market is tight. Able will help you sequence it properly.
Is it better to upgrade now or wait?+
There is no universal answer. The question is whether your numbers, your timing, and current market conditions all support the move. ABSD, MSR re-qualification on the new loan, and the proceeds you can realistically extract from your HDB all matter. Able will run the upgrade math with you in plain numbers, including the worst-case scenarios, so you decide with full information.
How does the HFE letter work?+
The HDB Flat Eligibility letter is the new combined document that confirms your eligibility to buy a flat, take an HDB loan, and receive grants. You need it before exercising an Option to Purchase. Application is online via HDB Flat Portal and typically takes a few weeks. Able will tell you exactly when to apply so your timeline lines up with viewings and offers.
What HDB grants am I eligible for?+
Grants depend on your citizenship, household income, first-timer status, and the type of flat you are buying. Enhanced CPF Housing Grant, Family Grant, Proximity Housing Grant, and others stack in specific combinations. Able will check your specific profile against current grant rules before you commit, so you do not leave money on the table.
