nesh 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 PER DAY HOW MANY PPL WLD BE TOLD TO COME FOR THEIR FIRST APPOINTMENTS ? 100 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dracula 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 PER DAY HOW MANY PPL WLD BE TOLD TO COME FOR THEIR FIRST APPOINTMENTS ? 100 ? If I am not wrong it is 30-40 ppl each day. about 15mins each queue no. That is what i calculated from my last balloting. You just take your queue no. divide the no. of days from start to your appt date, you should be able to guess the no. of queue no. a day. Good luck and congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Carebear, Alot of people who needs a flat have the same problem the last few yrs. Glad you get your resale unit. Even for new flat, it could be odd shape, afternoon sun etc. Somemore new flats from hdb are not cheap and it may make sense to get resale with 40k grant =) nesh, relax, dun kan cheong =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will receive a letter from us inviting you to select a flat in Jan/ Feb 2009. Detailed information on the flats available for booking will also be given to you nearer the selection date. However, if you have already booked a flat from HDB under any sales exercise or a DBSS flat, your application in the Balloting Exercise will be cancelled. so do i stand ahance ? sometimes i am confused in regards this statement..

Oh, then you are invited to select in Jan already, i think with condition that there are still left over flat. Mine is worse, as I said, they just say my queue number is very far behine, no invitation or sending letter to select flat at all . Gook luck to you, Nesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
