The process of buying HDB resale flats involves several steps: First, buyers must apply for an HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter to check their eligibility for purchasing, CPF housing grants, and HDB loans. Once eligible, they can search for a suitable resale flat and negotiate a price with the seller. The seller will then grant the Option to Purchase (OTP) for the buyer to exercise. After agreeing, both parties must submit a resale application to HDB. Upon HDB’s approval, buyers will attend the completion appointment, make the final payment, and officially take possession of the flat.
