The Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) May 2023 launch is coming soon. We asked 5 Singaporeans to share their top tips to secure an SBF unit
. The updated FPPS will ensure that First-timer ) can be assured up to 60% and 40% reserved flats during SBF and BTO launches, respectively.
“After failing the first time and getting SBF units in a project that wasn’t ‘new’, we finally realised that the application rate page is regularly updated during the application window and not only at the end of it all. Better late than never, right? “We managed to successfully get a 4-room SBF unit in Bukit Batok from the SBF May 2022 exercise, and we had to submit the doctor’s certification of my pregnancy. We chose Bukit Batok because it was one of the few estates that had 60-plus 4-room flats as compared to other unit types like 2-room Flexi and 3-room flats, which we felt were too small. We want a big family!”HDB offers several priority schemes, apart from the PPS, for couples who wish to apply for SBF launches.
“I grew anxious in late-2020 when I found out I was expecting number 3, our ‘COVID baby’. It was then I realised that we qualified for the TCPS. I was waiting for the May 2021 exercise but somehow that was skipped due to the pandemic. So I had no choice but to try for the Nov 2021 SBF exercise, although I was extremely worried as everyone else who had wanted to apply in the earlier cycle would be ‘fighting’ with me as well.”4.
“A 4-room SBF unit was what we wanted, but seeing that there were just 20 available, our chances of securing one would likely be very slim. In comparison, there were slightly more than 100 available 3-room HDB flats, so it was worth a shot. Given that the pool of flats also included old flats from Joo Seng, we were really hoping we didn’t get those as the area is an issue to me.
