Anyone received letter from HDB that their BTO got delayed again? Just received a letter last week that mine is delayed another 3 to 6 months. Was suppose to collect key is 2022 Mar. Now is Jun to Sep.. sian af need to waste money to rent for longer. HDB give a lot of long written excuses of their failure to deliver. Read already also sian. Damn disappointed by them.

Was already in talks with ID to start renovation once collected. Now need to rediscussed and nego with them. My ID say if delay the reno there is a possibility that the cost will rise too due to inflation. Anyone facing same issues?

My friend's Bidaddri BTO got delayed by more than a year. Pushed back multiple times. They have to rent for a year which ended up in quite some expenses. Shouldn't contractors be penalised for delivering the product late? We pay so much for our flats and end up still subjected to whatever deliveries dates the contractors and HDB throw at us.

Just collected my keys last week and we are excited to move in! It did take me more than 25k to rent over the last 12 months of delay though. That sum could have been contributed to my renovation... 🥲

Anyone knows if the May 2022 BTO is going to be ever released? https://homes.hdb.gov.sg/home/landing Today is already 26th May and still no news. Quite depressing facing more and more delays for new home and waiting times are 4 to 5 years ahead.

The application rate for this batch has dropped a lot to 1.1, meaning most applicants who applied theoretically should be able to get. But the new rules, MOP period, resale condition for the "Prime areas" bto really sucks. Feels bad for the younger couples and first time applicated who need to be restricted while earlier batches enjoy the old benefits.
