 Dear Friends,
Time flies.. We are at the age of getting house and getting married.. fret not if you are single.. your time will come! :) Many of my friends kept asking me to share about BTO application procedure.. and some of my friends and clients even ask me to advise them if their combine salary can afford a flat? So here's some of my advise based on my personal experience.. -In my opinion.. BTO is every Singaporean's privilege.. no matter how rich you are.. buy a BTO flat first! Is a good form of investment.. unless you hit the income ceiling.. 

My husband-to-be applied the house with me right after he graduate from NUS.. best decision ever! please don't wait till you hit income ceiling then apply for BTO.. moreover BTO usually take 3 - 4 years plus to build.. So maybe after dating for 1.5years to 2 years..you can start looking into BTO application.. provided your relationship is stable.. I have seen a few cases of friends giving up their BTO after applying.. quite sad though.. 

 Are you Eligible for BTO?

1.   You must be a Singaporean or one of them must be Singaporean/PR 
2.   You must be at least 21 years old at the time of application 
3.   For 4 room and above, your combine average gross monthly household income must not exceed $10,000. For 3 room or below, your combine average gross monthly household income must not exceed $5,000


For more information on Eligibility Condition, Click > HERE

Procedures and how much to pay when applying?

 1) Constantly look out for BTO launches
Normally HDB will have BTO sales launches every 2 months and they will announce it in the newspaper. You can also sign up for their HDB eAlert to automatically receive email/SMS alerts about HDB's sales launches.

 When we saw May 2012 BTO launch, we were attracted by the Sengkang launch, because
a.   It is near the MRT
b.   It has 5-room
c.   As Big Tree (My Fiance)  lives in Sengkang, we have a higher chance in the ballot
