Am I eligible for a 5-room HDB in Tampines

To determine your eligibility for purchasing an HDB 5-room flat in Tampines, you need to meet several criteria set by the Housing and Development Board (HDB):

Citizenship Requirements

At least one applicant must be a Singapore citizen. If you are a Permanent Resident (PR), you can only be included as a co-applicant under family nucleus schemes, and all PR occupiers must have held PR status for at least three years.

Family Nucleus

You must form a family nucleus, such as:

• Married couples or those planning to marry.
• Single parents with children.
• Siblings or parents and children.
• Singles aged 35 and above may apply under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme.

Income Ceiling

There is no income ceiling for Singapore citizens purchasing an HDB flat. However, if you are applying under specific schemes, you should check the income limits, although these generally do not apply to 5-room flats for citizens.

Age Requirements

You must be at least 21 years old to apply for an HDB flat under most schemes.

Ownership of Other Properties

You must not have disposed of any other residential property within 30 months prior to the application.

Immediate Occupation

The 5-room flat must be purchased for your immediate family’s occupation.
