Why I picked a HDB SBF over a BTO flat
Build-to-Order flat
Because of the above reasons, we never got around to applying for a BTO flat. After letting several BTO launches pass, we decided to reconsider our options and move things forward. Unlike BTO launches where you apply for a specific project, HDB SBF launches require you to apply for a flat type within the estate . This could comprise all available ongoing BTO projects within the estate. Only when you secure a ballot number, then you get to decide on which project and unit you want.
However, when we looked through the available HDB SBF flats, we found many on high floors and with good views of the surrounding greenery. The flat we eventually chose and are now living in enjoys the breeze and features three balconies, all facing the reservoir.This is because HDB SBF flats don’t just comprise flats that were not picked – they also consist of flats that were given up by others.
