Hello seniors

I applied Punggol Northshore Cove/Waterway SunriseII 4-room for Feb 2017 BTO and got a queue number of 928(total 723 units only). I was told by HDB to book a flat on 21 Sept 2017. I don't think there is good flat left by then. If I want to apply May 2017 BTO, am I consider a second timer applicant?

You will only be considered as a second timer if you have rejected the selection of flats twice.

One question..

First timer and looking at either Bidadari or Dakota but leaning more on the former as its a little nearer to where I stay and also cos its classified under Toa Payoh..which is a little head scratching for me since its not exactly near TPY?!?

Anyway..What I want to know is would I qualify for the extra chance for
MCPS if I am gonna apply for Bidadari since I stay in TPY but I am not exactly within the range of the plot?!?

Marsiling Grove or Woodland Spring

Both equally good. Marsiling Grove has 25-30 storey!

Deciding which one to TIKAM XD

If you live within 2km of the Bidadari plot, you can apply under MCPS. If it is more than 2km, even if it classified in the same area, you won't be able to apply under MCPS.

EDIT: Apparently I was wrong. If same estate it is also counted under MCPS. See post below by deskoh91 and force of nature 1985.

You may want to ask HDB about this. HDB is classifying Bidadari as part of the TPY town so they can market it as a mature estate and reduce its subsidies. A side effect of this is MCPS should work as long as your parents reside within TPY town, but ask to be sure

Hello all ... when will HDB release the result for BTO n Sofb ??

In recent exercises, BTO results will be released 1.5 months after applications close (ie Mid-Jul for this exercise), while SOBF will follow in 2.5 months (mid-Aug)

for sobf, apply area near parent or it does not matter?

it is 2km or in the same estate. which means tpy shd be ok since it is the same estate

but take note that if applied successfully for MCPS, your parents cannot move away for the area for 5 yrs


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so it will be the 2 result

The blocks offered in the estate you wish to apply for are in the same estate as your parents' / married child's HDB residence or your HDB residence

or

The blocks offered in the estate you wish to apply for are within 2 km of your parents' / married child's HDB residence or your HDB residence.

i believe the results will come out before the selection. so you shd apply for this May bto to see if there is a better queue number.

if have then life is good. if not then you have to see if you have time to wait for the perfect bto number to come out.


as many ppl already replied, only 2 times gave up then is considered as 2nd timer.


be sure to weight your choices. not everyone is so lucky to get a good queue number. its all depends on luck.

Give up more than two time is classified as 2nd timer column? Or just first timer but with lesser chance?

it is lost of first timer privilege for one year.

meaning.
- No higher proportion of flat set aside for first timer
- No extra ballot chance
- No additional chances for unsuccessful attempts


which is effectively equals to becoming 2nd timer.

MCPS is valid for SBF applications so yes, it does matter.

Thanks! Mine does fall under so apparently either same estate or the distance.

It still never made any sense to me why Bidadari is lumped under TPY..haha..but oh wel, not complaining if it gives me an additional chance I guess..
