Ensure Renovations Are Authorised and Permitted

The lessee selling his flat in the open market must ensure that all renovation works done in the flat have been authorised and permitted by HDB.

There will be a resale inspection to be carried out by the Branch Office after HDB has received a resale application. The purpose of the resale inspection is to check for any unauthorised renovations works in the flat. The inspection is not to ascertain the value of the flat and/or condition and safety of the renovation works.

While the seller (lessee) and buyer may proceed to attend the 1st resale appointment, the seller must regularise/remove the unauthorised renovation works in the flat before completion of the resale transaction.
