groyn88 Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 On 4 October 2024, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) issued a statement saying that singles would be able to apply for two-room flexi flats in all locations from the upcoming Build-To-Order (BTO) sales exercise in October 2024. More than 1,900 such flats would be on offer in 10 out of the 15 BTO projects that would be launched. They were located in Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Batok, Jurong West, Kallang/Whampoa, Pasir Ris and Sengkang. Previously, eligible single first-timers aged 35 and older could apply for new two-room flexi flats only in 12 non-mature estates such as Choa Chu Kang, Jurong East and Woodlands. They could not buy new units in mature estates including Bedok, Kallang/Whampoa and Queenstown. From October 2024's sales launch, flats would be classified into Prime, Plus or Standard categories, replacing the current classification of estates as either mature or non-mature. HDB said it would continue to set aside up to 65% of two-room flexi flats – that were not meant for seniors – in projects across all categories for first-timer singles, who would be subject to the prevailing income ceiling of $7,000. The new framework would allow eligible singles to buy a two-room Prime resale flat, or a Standard or Plus unit of any size, except three-generation flats. They could also buy two-room resale flats that were sold under the prime location public housing (PLH) model, which was introduced in November 2021. Previously, singles were not allowed to buy PLH flats, even when they went on the resale market. Singles who were buying a resale flat to live with their parents or other family members could purchase a larger resale Prime or PLH flat if they met the eligibility conditions. Prime and Plus flats, which were located closer to amenities such as MRT stations and town centres, would come with stricter resale conditions, such as a 10-year minimum occupation period and a subsidy clawback. This was to “moderate demand and keep these flats affordable and accessible to a wide range of buyers even at the point of resale”, HDB noted. Eligible singles who were buying their first home could tap grants of up to $60,000 under the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) when they purchased a new flat. Those buying resale flats could also receive the EHG, as well as up to $40,000 from the CPF Housing Grant, and up to $15,000 from the Proximity Housing Grant. HDB said the Government had rolled out measures to better support singles since the introduction of the singles scheme in 1991, which allowed singles to buy three-room and smaller resale HDB flats in selected locations. The rules changed in 2013 to allow singles to buy new two-room flexi flats in non-mature estates directly from HDB. From mid-2025, singles applying for BTO flats would get priority access when they bought a home near or with their parents. This aimed to encourage familial care and support for all parents and children, regardless of the flat buyers’ marital status, and recognised the role of singles in caring for their parents.

Sweetie Pie Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 All the gay can apply within the same place. Make it into a gay BTO. I missed the last Tanjong Rhu BTO, it is so near to the Ford Road. Hopefully, next BTO near Tanjong Katong or Tanjong Pagar. You know what I meant. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
