  • The checklist serial number is required when submitting the resale application.
  • If you are not able to submit your resale application within 6 months after the date the checklist is completed, you will need to resubmit a new checklist. This is to ensure that buyers are aware of the latest policies on buying an HDB flat.
  • All buyers and their salesperson, if any, are required to sign on the completed checklist during the resale First Appointment. The completed checklist will be printed by the HDB for your signing.
