The High Court judge that presided over the case ruled <em>against<\/em> the woman who argued that her ex-spouse should sell his share of their HDB flat at its surrender value instead of market value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The case went to the High Court because the original 2018 verdict in the family court, which ruled that the woman be given the first option to buy out the husband&#8217;s share of the matrimonial flat as part of the division of assets, did not specify that the share of the flat be considered in terms of market value.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>As a result, the woman attempted to demand that the man sell her his share of the flat based on its surrender value\u2014the price at which a flat is sold back to the HDB. The surrender value of a HDB flat is typically much lower than the market value.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The couple&#8217;s Yishun BTO flat, which was bought jointly in August 2014 for $371,500, had a surrender value of $352,925. <a href=\"https:\/\/yeolaw.com.sg\/\">Yeo &amp; Associates<\/a> managing director Beatrice Yeo, whose law firm represented the man, noted that the BTO flat had a certified market value of $545,000 early last year.<\/p>\n<p>According to court documents, 99.co has identified that the BTO flat in question is at Fern Grove @ Yishun. At the time of writing, owners of the flats at Fern Grove @ Yishun, including the couple, have not yet attained their five-year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/property-jargon-of-the-day-minimum-occupancy-period-mop\/\">Minimum Occupation Period (MOP)<\/a>. This meant that the flat cannot be sold in the open market.<\/p>\n<p>While their age is not revealed, the couple have reportedly been married for seven years with two young children, and are former flight attendants. Notably, the initial court verdict did not compel the couple to sell the flat.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39251\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39251\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-39251\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/fern-grove-yishun-hdb-bto.jpg\" alt=\"fern grove yishun bto hdb\" width=\"600\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/fern-grove-yishun-hdb-bto.jpg 1215w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/fern-grove-yishun-hdb-bto-150x93.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39251\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fern Grove @ Yishun BTO project.

The court&#8217;s answer is the market price,&#8221; said the lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen if the wife would still be willing to buy over the ex-husband&#8217;s share of the flat, following the verdict against her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Do you agree with the verdict of the High Court judge?
