Useful Tips for Flat Buyers

Before applying for your flat, read up on the flat buying process. 

If you are intending to apply for a flat at the May Sales Launch, note that you must:

• Complete the preliminary HFE check before you submit an application
• Apply for an HFE letter within 30 days of starting the preliminary HFE check
• Have a valid HFE letter when you book a flat, if you are shortlisted

Learn more about what the HFE letter is and how to apply in our step-by-step guide to applying for the HFE letter.

You may also wish to note the following tips:

• Information on 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 also check the application rates of past BTO projects for each town via HDB Flat Portal.
• You can only submit 1 application for 1 flat type and 1 location during each sales exercise.
• The construction period for each project varies, depending on their individual attributes, such as development height, number of units, design, site conditions and constraints. Projects with challenging site conditions or more complex designs may take longer to construct.
• 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.

Applicants are shortlisted via a computer ballot and are not processed on a first-come-first-served basis. Just remember to submit your application before the end of the sales launch.
