I've got some question hope you guys will help out.

1) I already have a queue number in March bto but exceeded the units available, and now I just got a good queue number for May bto. So will the March bto queue number still be valid after I gotten my May bto queue number? Assume both bto selection date is somewhere around end of August, can I still go for the March appointment if I don't like the May bto units?

2)
Anybody knows is it everyday there will be appointment for selection of flats? Or is it like only few appointments in a week?



Thanks in advance for any answer.

Gixxerfied,

Can you help me with analyzing Sembawang Eastwave? I really like 4 room unit403 but is it true that it will receive direct afternoon sunlight?

rollbread,

1) Yes, your March bto is still valid. Your ballot queue number will only be cancelled after you have gone for either appointment and selected a unit.

2) From past bto, it looks like there are appointment for selection of flats almost everyday.

From the map, looks like it..Probably 2-3pm to sunset kind of sun..

2nd appt aka signing of lease only downpayment + stamp and misc fees..

Take keys then reassess HLE, wipe out CPF and confirm loan amt and period..

i only want to know woodlands 5rm chinese quote =D

any one know how they compute?

Quota should be relatively fix..

My guess is about 70-73% of flat size availability per blk..

 

[stonefish35]

this is the unit i targeted for JW...

based on my observation for the afternoon sun direction (ard 3+pm)

is this a good choice?

Actually , this is the classic type of unit I will avoid if given a choice. Resale value for morning unit usually slight higher, if this matters to you. The counter argument will be , can turn on AC at night. Well, when you are paying for the actual bill then some will regret.

u mean such units is higher demand if sell?

COV tend to be higher. Buyers for resale tend to avoid afternoon sun unit.
And, afternoon sun on kitchen / living room walls vs afternoon sun on bedrooms walls made alot of difference.

If you are the type that intend to sell after 5yrs MOP or rent out entire unit, if given a choice, morning sun unit will be wiser.

Thanks alot. Now i can have a peace of mind cause if base on 70%. I am still within the quota.

Both will get some due to the more north west direction it's facing..
