Eligibility To Sell
To Sell an HDB resale flat, you have to first ensure that you can meet the conditions of one of the eligibility schemes.
Minimum Occupation Period
You must have physically occupied your flat for a period of time, referred to as the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), before you are eligible to sell your flat in the open market.
The MOP is calculated from the date you collect the keys to the flat. It excludes any period that the flat is not occupied by the flat owners, such as when the whole flat is rented out or when there is any infringement of the flat lease.
The length of MOP depends on the purchase mode, flat type and date of flat application:
