Please refer to esales.hdb.gov.sg to check the lease commencement date of each block. 


Advice for Flat Buyers

11Applicants are strongly advised to apply for a BTO flat in non-mature towns to enjoy a higher chance of success in securing a flat. Though SBF flats have a shorter waiting time to completion, the number of units in each town is small and is likely to attract high application rates.
12Regular updates on the number of applications submitted for the various flat types/towns will be published on the HDB InfoWEB. Applicants are advised to check for updates before submitting their application.
.
Application for May 2014 BTO and SBF Exercises

13Application for new flats launched in the May 2014 BTO and SBF exercises can be submitted online on the HDB InfoWEB from today, 22 May 2014 (Thursday) to 28 May 2014 (Wednesday). Applicants can apply for only one flat type/category in one town/estate under either the BTO or SBF Exercise.


14More details on application procedures can be found in Annex B  (PDF 106KB).

15For enquiries, the public can:
- Log on to esales.hdb.gov.sg; or 
- E-mail hdbsales@mailbox.hdb.gov.sg; or
- Visit the HDB Sales Office to speak with our Customer Relations Executives during office hours (Mon to Fri 8 am to 5 pm, Saturday 8 am to 1 pm).

Next BTO Launch in July 2014

16In July 2014, HDB will offer about 3,810 BTO flats in Punggol, Sembawang, Toa Payoh, Woodlands and Yishun. More information on the flats to be offered under the July 2014 BTO exercise is available on the HDB InfoWEB.


1 HDB will set aside up to 15% of the Studio Apartments (SAs), 2-room and 3-room flats in a BTO project (subject to a minimum of 20 units each) for parents applying under MGPS. The same number of 2-room and bigger flats will be set aside in the same BTO project for their married children.
