ah, no worries. then this must be bidadari 4 rm, as at yesterday #10?

Been at #669 for a long time liao.

As previous post said those already selected are grassroot leaders so they are guaranteed a flat to better serve the residents of the area. (as if travelling from where ever they staying now to bidadari is chore??)

The queue is not even started for normal people like you and me. Not even for the guy who took queue #1.

Hate to bring this **** up but vote carefully in next election.

Guys, I applied for the 4 room for Bidadari but gotten the HLE late as there's some delay... found out that my max loan was only 215k and the house cost about 500k... so I don't think I can afford it. Is there by any chance I can appeal it to 3 room? I got balloted to 5XX / 6XX

Did you try bank loan?

Appeal wise, do not think HDB will entertain but no harm to try.

One person's income or combined income of both you and your partner?

No wor... I didn't know must apply HLE before apply a flat...

HLE during selection is just an indication. HDB will not stop you from proceed to select but you must ask yourself following questions:

1) Will your combined income increase substantially in 4 yrs time to secure a higher loan amount?

2) Assume taking $275k bank loan, are you able to fork out $50k cash and $50k cash/CPF for downpayment within next 3 months?

If not, better try your appeal approach.

Hi all,

Need some help over here.

My gf has already been working for the past 3 years (continuous employment) and i am in my final year of university education. We bto-ed to maximize the amount of grants before i start work.

Question:
We can comfortably clear downpayment of 5/10% using my gf's CPF atm + fork out stamp duties with cash.
Will we be required, at this point of time, to pay the excess $$ between the flat price (assume 500k) and maximum loan amount stated in HLE (assume 275k) ?? or simply, do we have to pay 500k - 275k = 225k in cash now?

Correct me if i am wrong, our understanding is that nearer to key collection date(in a few years), our HLE will be reassessed and IF at the point of time, the maximum loan offered is 490k, we have to pay the excess of 500k - 490k = 10k during this 2nd HLE assessment.

thank you!

Wow.. so you managed to go through all the steps on the HDB webpage to apply for a flat, including special page that mention about loan, and still manage to ignore everything, and now come and flaunt your ignorance.

You'll not be required to pay the balance until you collect your key.

Don't count on your HLE nearer to key collection date unless you reading law/medicine.

It's astounding to see the number of people on hardwarezone being so impractical with their BTO applications.

I didnt apply HLE. I was told by my banker you only need to apply for bank loan nearer to taking your keys, since I am taking bank loan.
Not sure how true.
