Executive Condominiums (ECs) are a hybrid form of property offering the advantages of both private and public housing.
Designed for the ‘sandwich class’ of Singaporeans, ECs are developed and sold by private developers, yet they are classified as public housing. They offer their first batch of buyers the chance to enjoy condo-style facilities like swimming pools at a subsidised price.
For the first 10 years, ECs are subject to the same restrictions and resale criteria as HDB flats. For instance, owners must fulfil their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) before being allowed to sell the flat or rent out the entire unit.
Once the 10 years have run their course, however, ECs are privatised, and HDB’s selling restrictions no longer apply.
Thinking about buying an EC and wondering how you will need to go about financing it? Check out our starter video guide.
