Useful Tips for Flat Buyers
Before you submit your flat application, do read up more on the flat buying process and take note of the following tips:
Information on the BTO flats on offer is available on HDB Flat Portal, where you can check out all the details and apply online. You do not have to visit HDB Hub to get the information.
If you do not have Internet access, do seek support from family members instead of visiting HDB Hub or Branches. Those who require assistance, especially seniors, may call the HDB Sales/ Resale Customer Service Line at 1800 – 866 3066 for assistance.
Consider applying for a BTO flat in non-mature towns to enjoy a higher chance of success in securing a flat.
You can only apply for flat type/ category in 1 town
Regular updates on the application numbers for the various flat types/ towns will be published on the HDB InfoWEB, so check for updates before submitting your application.
If you wish to take up an HDB housing loan for your flat purchase, a valid HDB Loan Eligibility (HLE) Letter is required when you book a flat. Do check your loan eligibility and apply for an HLE letter at www.hdb.gov.sg/hleapply.
Applicants are shortlisted via a computer ballot, and are not processed on a first-come-first-served basis. There’s no rush to submit your application, as long as you do it by the end of the sales launch!
The two projects at Bukit Batok will appeal to those looking to relax and unwind against the scenic backdrop of Bukit Batok Town Park and Little Guilin. For sports and more intense workouts, Bukit Gombak Sports Hall, Bukit Gombak Stadium and Bukit Batok Swimming Complex are within easy reach.
You can look forward to plenty of F&B choices, as both projects are located just a stone’s throw away from a Neighbourhood Centre and the Le Quest Shopping Mall. Residents at the Community Care Apartments (CCA) will enjoy added convenience, as the project is integrated with a hawker centre and located right next door to the mall
ICYMI – The CCA was jointly developed by the Ministry of National Development, Ministry of Health and Housing & Development Board as the first assisted-living public housing in Singapore. The apartments come with features and services that will support seniors who want to live independently on their own yet enjoy care, support and communal activities. Read about the eligibility conditions and more details on the CCA here!

If waking up to greenery is your thing, then you should definitely consider this project in Tengah. HDB is applying its Biophilic Town Framework in the development of Tengah town, to enhance the existing natural assets and neighbourhood landscapes. Key features of the town include a 100m wide and 5km long Forest Corridor connecting the Western Water Catchment Area and Central Catchment Nature Reserve.
Tengah will also be the first HDB town with a car-free town centre, and dedicated walking and cycling paths along all roads. This project will be located near upcoming Neighbourhood Centres, and will be served by Tengah and Tengah Plantation MRT Stations, which are estimated to be completed by 2026.
Upcoming Forest Corridor, Community Farmways and Central Park
Prefer a more centralised location? Here’s good news! Three projects with a total of about 1,200 units will be launched in Toa Payoh (Bidadari) this round. Flat types include 3-room, 4-room and 5-room units.
Residents of these projects will enjoy plenty of garden-like green spaces, as well as the upcoming Bidadari Park where Alkaff Lake will be situated. The projects are well-connected to transport links, including the Woodleigh (Northeast Line) and Bartley MRT Stations (Circle Line). Amenities in the area include the upcoming Woodleigh Mall, as well as Nex shopping mall which is just an MRT stop away at Serangoon MRT Station.

You can also walk towards the direction of Farrer Park MRT Station, and visit City Square Mall and Mustafa Centre for more shopping and dining options.
There are also several sports facilities nearby, to help you maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. The Jalan Besar Stadium and Swimming Complex, St. Wilfred Squash and Tennis Centre, and St. Wilfred Field are all great spots to sweat it out!
