May 8, 2017
Mr Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap: To ask the Minister for National Development in 2016, what is the number of unsuccessful Build-To-Order (BTO) applications for the following categories:
i. first-timer;
ii. second-timer; and
iii. third-timer or more.
Answer:
The number of unsuccessful BTO applicants in 2016 is not available as the selection process is still on-going.
Nonetheless, most first-timer families who apply for a BTO flat in the non-mature estates today should be able to book a flat within their first or second try, and definitely on their third try. Families are generally not eligible to purchase BTO flats from HDB beyond two times.
