Does it make sense to pay stamp duty regardless of whether the buyer wants to proceed or if HDB approves the purchase?

Buyer's Stamp Duty for an HDB resale flat is paid after the buyer exercises the Option to Purchase and receives HDB's in-principle approval. This ensures a clear intent to buy and minimizes unnecessary stamp duty payments. If the transaction fails, a refund may be possible under special circumstances.

There is a lot of confusion about transaction and legal dates from other AIs as well, so I will relearn this soon.

The **application date** is when both buyer and seller submit their resale application to HDB after the OTP is exercised. HDB usually takes about two weeks to approve the application. The **completion date** is when the transfer of ownership is finalized, all payments are made, and the buyer collects the keys. This date is used in official transaction records.

Can you explain why the transaction date is considered the completion date, so I can remember it clearly?

The HDB resale transaction date shown in records is the completion date because it is the legal point at which ownership transfers, keys are handed over, and the new owner can move in. This date marks when all payments are settled, documents are signed, and the transaction is finalized according to HDB regulations.

My neighbour on level 2 at 311 Yishun Ring Road just moved in, and I saw a transaction from last September for a lower level unit—does this mean the sale was completed and keys were received, or was it just the HDB resale application approval?

HDB resale transaction records typically reflect the transaction completion date, indicating the new buyer has legally taken over the unit and can move in. The resale process usually takes 8 to 12 weeks from application submission to completion. Sellers may request a temporary extension of stay, affecting the actual move-in date.
