PR's and buying HDB Flats

RobSg · Post by **RobSg** » Tue, 05 Jan 2010 6:55 pm

Hi all-
I heard today that there is a new law that single PR's can buy 3 room HDB resales flats. I am sure it is not correct, but instead the person misinterpreted the old law that states that two PR's in the same family can buy a resale flat. Is there any truth to single PR's being able to buy a resale flat?

Thank you.

It sounds like a combination of mis-interpretations to me.

I believe they are referring to to Single Citizens/SPR buying a resale flat. See here:

Probably have to wait until you are at least 35, just like citizens

I haven't heard anything from HDB about this and their website still is showing the over 35 single option as only being for Citizens.

I too heard similar to that. A family with Single PR can buy a resale flat.
I was about to ask the same question here and luckily found this Post.

I don't find any schemes that allow single PR allow to buy a resale flat.

I don't think HDB will allow that.
If HDB allow, they had to prepare to get the screaming from the single citizen.

SMS,
I did read.
The link you posted is refer to "Citizen/SPR Siblings Scheme"?
Base on the link, it stated "You must be a Singapore Citizen (SC) or Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) with at least one other sibling who is also an SC/SPR."

Hence it still need min 2 SPR but kskps asking " A family with Single PR can buy a resale flat. "
