Selling an HDB flat (Seller)

Here is what you need to know when selling an HDB resale flat on your own.

Last updated 2 April 2026

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

Overview of selling an HDB Flat

Step 1: Register Intent to Sell

Register an Intent to Sell (opens in new tab) and receive a preliminary assessment of your eligibility (opens in new tab) to sell your HDB flat, when you may grant an Option to Purchase (OTP) (opens in new tab) 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 (opens in new tab).

Note

If the buyer is represented by a property agent, you will be asked by the property agent to provide information as part of their due diligence checks in a property transaction.

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 (opens in new tab). If you have arranged a temporary extension of stay (opens in new tab) 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 (opens in new tab), and pay the necessary fees (opens in new tab).

Step 4: Get resale approval

After the fees are paid, HDB will grant an approval (opens in new tab) for the resale transaction, and process the application.

Step 5: Attend completion appointment

The resale completion (opens in new tab) 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 (opens in new tab) for the appointment details.

If you are unfamiliar with the property transaction process or require assistance, you should consider engaging a property agent.
