May BTO 2012

[keithster]

We did the hle on the spot.

I did check with the officer on the dropouts concern. She told me it could be real dropout or deferment of appt. If the latter was chosed, the applicant has to bear the risk their choice unit may not be available then. I asked her how many ppl has deferred their selection, she don't have the stats. But she also mentioned very seldom ppl will reschedule their appt also.

you see... thats why i need your help to ask cos your answer and the customer service officers are different. I believe that your answer is more reliable.

CSOs told us that these people cannot defer their appts and need to get a rep if they really cannot go down but in actual fact as you mentioned, an applicant does have the rights to defer their appt but he has to risk his choice of ideal unit being taken.

in that case, i better allocate 20% of unselected queue numbers as deferred appts.

I only take up the flooring not doors. Coz the doors we can only select option 9a which is not nice plus the toilet door we thought it will be better for sliding version due to space limitation.

i suppose flooring and doors are 2 separate items of OCS right?

i recall flooring is $7000+ while door is $2000+

Yes they are separate items. That is why I can choose flooring but not doors. Pricing I am not too sure now. Need to look at my documents again. If not wrong, I though the flooring was $4800+.

Relating your deferment, I think you can consider most are real dropouts lah. KW is such a hot property, I don't think many want to defer loh.

How about AHG? Additional Housing Grant?

when need to apply and when will get?

I did ask a bit about this. Because our combined income are more that $5000 the officer didn't explain much.

One apply for AHG on the day of selection coz the officer will see your income documents and advise you further.

AHG is given for all applicants' income combined together is less than $5000. Most of the time there are 2 owners name per house but if there are 3 owners name to one unit of flat, 3 owners' incomes have to be combined to see whether $5000 is hit.

AHG amount to assign to individual is subjected to income range. If combined income is less than $2000 per month, you can get max $30,000 AHG. If combined income is bet $4500 to $5000, AHG is only $5000. For the AHG amount to be granted, I bet HDB website will indicate the range.

when need to apply and when will get?

AHG is only given if your combine income is low enough to get it. Different income levels will get different grants. One party is also required to be working for the last 12 months.

This is applied during flat selection when you pay the $2,000. The AHG outcome is only known before the second appointment when the 5%/10% deposit is paid.

Keithster,

Door 2800+ (5 doors)
Flooring 4k+ (4 room)

can choose seperately.

Keithster,

can choose seperately.

If we choose to have the optional items, do they charge us upfront or they add in to total then take 10% as downpayment?

Add in total, no upfront charge.

@ Keithster, No one in the right frame of mind would defer it for too long. allocate 20% is way too much.Don't think about it so much.

As for me, my q number is 80X, i will just wait and see and hope for the best.

[Larfing]

Don't know for 3rm KW how many ppl drop out already?

[farmer71]

So true.... Base on total number of 4 room for both BL and MT per level is 26. So sad.....

I will skip this BTO if anything lower then 10 lvl. in the mean time just got to prey and wait for 6 more weeks.

 

[farmer71]

And also hope for "other race" taking up the lower units.

Hi kagay one more thing to take note. 115 service yard is facing the common corridor. Ppl can see you. 117 service yard is at another end, can't view from corridor. You can check out the model at hdb hub as well for clearer picture.

Ya exactly. Everything is good for 117 except for the sun issue. 115 like no privacy. Imagine neighbours around me can see me hanging clothes so closely LOL but again, the heat won't be that strong. From the 3D model shown in HDB website, the sun is shining directly at 117. Or perhaps if I paste thermal firm helps?
