Three Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) flats from The Premiere along Tampines Avenue 6 have been placed on the resale market, according to media reports.

Developed by Sim Lian Group and completed in 2009, The Premiere is the first of HDB's DBSS projects.

The flats have already found buyers and this comes after the completion of the five-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP). The units are subject to the new housing board rules, which require buyers and sellers to first agree on a price before receiving a HDB-approved valuation.
