What is the validity period of the HFE

The HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter is valid for 9 months from the date of issue.

This validity period applies to both new applications and letters currently being processed. HDB does not allow extensions to the HFE letter validity—if your HFE letter expires, you will need to submit a fresh application for a new letter. You must have a valid HFE letter at the point of flat application, whether for new or resale flats.

If you are planning to buy a HDB flat and your HFE letter is expiring soon, you should ensure you reapply in time to avoid any disruption to your purchase process.
