[[ Official Dec 2023 BTO ]]

[AlanKohCD]

Urban Rise can see so many people apply . I think the price is very cheap and is very affordable.

Just realised that design for HDB 2-room BTO flats has changed. There is now a partition wall in the bedroom area. Can I tear it down? Please advise.

If it is 2 room 99 years leasehold. You can hack it since it is not structural wall.
If it is short lease. You have to apply for approval for hacking. Likely not going to be approval. Even if approval, will need to reinstate back.

It has not changed. It is a 2 room type 2, so there is an additonal multipurpose room which a 2 room type 1 does not have.

The resale 4 room hdb units that just MOP are selling at more than $600k and they are far away from MRT.
You still want to hope for previous BTO price.

Mainly the location plus potential attractive mop profit..hard to find affordable yet near mrt.. surely this one fulfill the criteria..

People might think $1mil price tag is ridiculous.
But is inevitable, It will happen.
Since 1990 till now (24 years), the annualized compound rate is 2.44%. Use this and apply it to current price.
In 10-15 years time, more and more 5 room HDB will start to sell near and above $1m and these are just very normal 5 room HDB in non mature estate.

Previously, there was no partition wall for HDB 2-room Type 2 flats.

I booked a 2 room type 2 in another estate last year and it's the same.

2 rm type 2 with an additional multipurpose room.

The display showflats in HDB Hub also showcase 2 room type 2 with an additional multipurpose room.

He is referring to 2 room type 2 layout that the living room and bedroom are side by side that is separated by a sliding door. The living room window wall is levelled with the bedroom window wall.

This is my floor plan about 8 years ago.

Oops, I am not referring to the partition wall that separates the living room and bedroom.

Can be hack as well. It is not structural wall. It is not uncommon for owners to hack it away.

If it is short lease. You have to apply for approval for hacking. Likely not going to be approval. Even if approval, will need to reinstate back.

All hacking of walls need HDB’s approval, regardless of flat type or type of walls

Yes. Of course all hacking need to be approval.
What i want to point out is the difference between 99 years lease and short lease for hacking.

Does the plus , prime and standard kick in for this round of bto?

If so those 10 year minimum occupance might be one of the reasons why some area are low in number of ballot...

I find this round’s 2 rm flexi quite bad with that zig zagged wall in between.

This is the layout of the one i applied last year and it’s so much more uniform. Has 1sqm more internal floor area overall too.
