Can you decouple an EC after 5 years MOP

No, you cannot decouple an Executive Condominium (EC) after the 5-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) in Singapore. HDB rules prohibit decoupling for ECs, treating them similarly to HDB flats where ownership transfers between spouses are restricted to prevent investment circumvention, even post-MOP. Private properties allow more flexibility for such transfers via buyout (subject to stamp duties and fees), but ECs remain under HDB oversight during and after MOP. Consult HDB or a lawyer for your specific case, as artificial arrangements risk retrospective ABSD penalties.
