Ready to upgrade from HDB to condo?

Check your MOP completion date and whether you'd qualify for ABSD remission — the two things that decide when you can actually move.

MOP: 5 or 10 Years ABSD Remission: 6-Month Window

Your HDB flat

MOP starts from when you collected your keys — not your booking date.

We'll check whether selling your HDB by then keeps you inside the 6-month remission window.

Indicative estimate only. Confirm your exact MOP date on the HDB e-Service portal, and confirm remission eligibility with IRAS or your lawyer before committing to a purchase.

HDB upgrading questions

Only after your HDB flat has passed its MOP. You can then buy private property, but ABSD is payable upfront in cash. Singapore Citizen married couples can apply for a refund (remission) if they sell the HDB flat within 6 months of the new purchase.
You lose eligibility for ABSD remission and the ABSD already paid is not refunded. Plan your HDB sale and new purchase timelines together to stay inside the 6-month window.
