Trying to apply for SBF and key ready to be collected, but not ready to be married within 6 months to 1 year. Any way of deferring key collection?

The occifer will tink: "Diu, wan ye meh ?!!"


My case is keys ready, need pay outstanding after loan to get the keys, say no money and wanted to do contra....

Was given 3 months to settle my problem, if not monthly interest imposed is $1700 per month....
Can try to appeal after 3 months though, but ho promise can successful

dun dream of making money out of hdb. quite likely that mop time prices may remain the same or even lower than purchase prices. economy slowing is the hard truth now.

i can get the units without loans if I wanted also but i will just get what i can afford using minimum loan.

the ratio for tampines 4 room flat First Time Applicant Application Rate is 0.9 sigh...
Whereas Tampines 5 Room Flat First Time Applicant Application Rate is only 0.5

At this point, I will likely to choose 5 Room simply because I would be more or less guaranteed a unit

Anyone else in the same boat?

thanks for sharing on the larger increase in per sqft price, from 4rm to 5m tampines..

yes, i am in similar shoes.. feeling heart pain for the more ex 5rm which i am probably applying due to the lower application ratio.. any idea why?

i compared similar 4rm and 5rm at sengkang west sbf and the cost of per sqft does not significantly increase..

is like that mah. 4 to 5 room difference is 100+ k

I asked alot of young people whether issit worth to pay that much for extra 20 sq meter worth of space. they told me can loan so no issues. now people not scared of getting into debts. everything looks easy until you start paying for 20 years and the payment seems like never ending.

Totally agree! Having lived in the old 5 room type (120sqm) for most of my life, I recently visited a 93sqm 4 room unit, wa, the space difference is really significant sia.

These kind who say no issues are normally 70%.

Those kind like to kid themselves.

Touch wood anything happen I see how they finance their loans.

Good luck to them.

I rather not take the risk and forever have that feeling at the back of my mind if shiat happens then how.

Does anyone know why is the price difference between 5rm and 4rm at Tampines North is much larger than in Sengkang West?
(the price increase % per sqft, taking 4rm as the reference, is much larger)

Very likely to be a "location premium"? Since Tampines is a matured estate.

Ya lah. Those 70% everything is ok one. 120k machiam like very easy to pay off? With interest if not so simple.

Hello all,

I’m a new applicant for sbf but got some questions. When I applied they said ballot result will be announce in July 2019. However I read some news that hdb is going to reduce the waiting time to just one working day. Is that some other type of application? Thanks

I got a queue number for Feb BTO. Based on current queue number will reach my turn in early July. Hope to be able to get results in time.
