Correction, 1 November 2026: The former 12-step buying checklist gave the wrong HDB resale option period and presented an unsupported universal deadline for private resale purchases. Its timelines, worked funding example, graphics and FAQs have been withdrawn. Do not use them to decide an exercise date or the cash needed for a transaction.
The HDB resale option period is 21 calendar days
The old checklist repeatedly said HDB resale buyers had 14 days. HDB’s current OTP procedure states that the option is valid for 21 calendar days from the date it is granted. Check the actual prescribed form and expiry details for your purchase, and complete the required steps within that period.
Do not use the old private-resale deadline or funding totals
The article also described 21 days as a general private-resale exercise window. That statement has been withdrawn. Use the actual contract’s expiry, recipient, delivery and payment requirements. The CEA agreements page provides separate standard contract templates for private residential resale transactions.
The former checklist combined these deadline errors with unreliable funding, duty-remission and loan-eligibility explanations. We have withdrawn that combined account rather than leave its examples and graphics beside a partial correction. No existing purchase deadline is extended by this notice.
If you relied on the former checklist, collect the signed documents, payment records and correspondence promptly. Contact Lin Xuan or Ade for introductions to property lawyers to review the actual contractual position, and bankers for the financing assessment.
For practical planning, our purchase cash calendar separates payment dates from expected receipts. Our older-home funding comparison explains why price, approved borrowing and usable CPF must be considered separately.
