๐จ **Planning to upgrade from your HDB? Read this before you decide on an Executive Condominium (EC)!**
The Government has introduced new EC regulations that will affect future buyers, including:
๐ Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) extended from **5 years to 10 years**
๐ Full privatisation extended from **10 years to 15 years**
๐ Deferred Payment Scheme removed
๐ More priority given to first-time buyers
But here's the good news ๐
**The next 5 upcoming EC launches are NOT affected by these new rules**, as their land tenders were awarded before the policy change.
๐ก Segar Close
๐ก Woodlands Drive 17 (2 launches)
๐ก Miltonia Close
๐ก Sembawang Road
If you've been thinking about upgrading from your HDB, these could be among the **last opportunities to enjoy the previous EC framework**, offering greater flexibility for future upgrading and exit planning.
Every family's situation is different, and the "best" choice depends on your finances, eligibility, timeline, and long-term goals.
