As HDB does away with the classification of estates as mature or non-mature, singles will soon be able to buy new two-room flats in any location.
SINGAPORE: Singles who are at least 35 years old will soon be able to apply for new two-room Housing Board flats in any location, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said at the National Day Rally on Sunday .
The bulk of HDB’s flats will be Standard flats with the current subsidies and restrictions, including a minimum occupation period of five years. When the new classification is launched, singles will be able to apply for BTO flats in any category – Standard, Plus or Prime. “I am sure singles will welcome this move to have more choices to find your own home and write your own part in Singapore’s housing story,” Mr Lee said.
