Selling an HDB flat (Seller)

Here is an overview of the resale process should you wish to sell a HDB resale flat on your own.

Step 1: Register Intent to Sell

Register an Intent to Sell and receive a preliminary assessment of your eligibility to sell your HDB flat, when you may grant an Option to Purchase (OTP) to potential flat buyers, and reminder to plan your next housing.

After you have registered an Intent to Sell, you may list your flat for sale through your preferred channels or through the Resale Flat Listing (RFL) service on the HDB Flat Portal.

Step 2: Submit resale application

After your buyers have exercised the OTP, you and the buyers must submit your respective portions of the resale application. If you have arranged a temporary extension of stay with your buyers, you and your buyers will need to state it in the resale application.

Step 3: Endorse documents and pay fees

You and the buyers must acknowledge and endorse the resale documents, and pay the necessary fees.

Step 4: Get resale approval

After the fees are paid, HDB will grant an approval for the resale transaction, and process the application.

Step 5: Attend completion appointment

The resale completion is about eight weeks from the date of HDB’s acceptance of the resale application. You and the buyers will be notified via SMS once the appointment is scheduled. You may also log in to HDB’s My Flat Dashboard for the appointment details.
