Loo Jia Jie 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2017 Hi everyone, I will be getting married with a non citizen some time next year and I am looking forward to buy a flat on my own in near future. My only option is probably to buy a resale flat. I also hope to ballot in a BTO when my spouse gets her SPR in time to come. I would like to askl, if I were to buy a resale flat without taking any grant at all, are we considered first timer or second time in the BTO after my spouse gets her SPR? The reason why I ask is because I have heard that if you do not take any grant for the resale flat, you may be considered as a first timer in the next BTO. What I heard may be wrong and I cannot find any information on this. Thanks everyone in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elias Evph 3 Report post Posted May 27, 2020 the pay back is resale levy. Some after 20 yrs buy 2nd bto flat, they pay premium price for the bto flat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majed 1 Report post Posted May 29, 2020 Don't buy BTO flat. Go open market "resale flat" then no need to pay resale levy to HDB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
