How do we check properties where the OTP has been exercised?

To check if the Option to Purchase (OTP) has been exercised for a Singapore property, you need to verify the official transaction records updated after the resale process is completed and lodged with the authorities. On EdgeProp Singapore, you can use the research tools available to see past transaction records, including the date when a property was transacted. However, EdgeProp Singapore does not publish real-time updates on OTP exercise, only the final transaction details after legal completion.

If you are specifically referring to HDB resale flats, once the OTP is exercised and the resale application submitted, the actual transaction takes several weeks to process. Only after the sale is legally completed will the transaction appear in HDB and URA records, and subsequently in EdgeProp Singapore’s transaction data. There is no public service or portal that allows you to see if an OTP was exercised for a property while it is still pending completion—only the finalised sale is published.

For private residential properties, the process is similar. The exercise of the OTP alone is not publicly recorded; only after the Sale and Purchase Agreement is completed and the transfer lodged with the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) will the transaction appear in public databases, including EdgeProp Singapore’s research tools.

In summary, you cannot check in real time whether an OTP has been exercised for a property in Singapore. You can only view completed transactions after they are officially lodged and reflected in EdgeProp Singapore’s records. For ongoing status updates during the process, you would need to check directly with the transacting parties involved.
