2 ROOM BTO FLAT AFTER 5 YEAR CAN BE RENTED OUT ?

can ask your 3 panel sliding door can open and close through both left and right side? or just one sided open and close?

For Single is good enough.

2 room flats are ideal for singles who travel and stay abroad for weeks or months. It serves as a large personal hotel space when you're back for a few days.

How much is your monthly utilities bill? Btw can you sell your unit and bid for another 2 rooms BTO 47 type 2?

You mean hot because there is no air or just your unit facing west sun? Do you use aircon? I'm getting mine I'm so concern about the air circulation if like you say hot 😬 also ceiling is low? How come?

Should have purchased 47sqm..is more spacious

it is really inhuman that our country has to build such small flat and go down the path of HK...there are unlimited space vertically, why do hdb have to go down the path of hk...

That by definition is wear and tear. All can be done within in hrs time. You learning tho is something different. And by the looks of it you failed as landlord or tenant by not doing inspection and informing the correct people. By court standards it's neglect. So which are you the landlord or tenant.

Geez…seriously, to be enabled to owned yr own Shelter, is very good already! Even though the flat is small, I don’t mind actually ya!

If you have taken your grant for the current 2-room BTO, will you be charged resale levy if you buy a resale flat? If so, your profit margin will be quite low. It is also cheaper for many singles to buy 2-room BTO directly from HDB then tthrough resale market, unless your unit is "top dog" in the competitive market. Even if there is some profit, part of it will also be used to pay for the COV to the resale seller. You may then need to take up loan because it is near impossible to match sales price of your 2-room BTO with the hefty purchase price of 3-room flat in the resale market, unless it is situated in the most remote and distant part of Singapore. The government has also recently lowered the Loan Quantum by 5%, and you need to fork out more cash for the shortfall in the next flat purchase.. Don't get me started on the renovation cost of 3-room HDB, it is not cheap either. Once you reached 55yo, and if you do not meet the minimum retirement sum, , CPF may lock up your fund and you cannot use your CPF to service the mortgage loan. Best is to pay off all your loan before 55yo, and that means shorten your repayments period, which means increasing your monthly installments. A lot of cash considerations if you plan to upgrade. Alternate Option, if 38sqm layout is not ideal, then sell your 38sqm and buy a resale 48sqm 2-room BTO that meets your space and layout requirements. This option is good for those with limited budget and you still get a better 2-room home (nearly 1-1 in exchange value).

Is good for Single who does not want to live with others.

I love my 2 room Bto it is spacious and comfy. It depends on your layout and how you make use of space. Dark colours make the space smaller so I chose a very light grey-green and it opens up the space. The only setback is my kitchen faces neighbour's kitchen and the distance is just 1.5 bamboo pole length.

Thank you for sharing the cost! 12k plus and beautifully done! I was really worried when i see some reno work for 2-room can go up to 38k..

I just collected my keys for my 38m2 2 room flat. Love the design (different from yours). Agree its tight, it actually deter me from cluttering. Need no renovation, as it comes with neat vinyl floor design and good colour sliding doors. Deco it with Balinese design (mostly preloved mint conditioned) and it looks so cozy and inviting now... All my friends love my place. Maybe you should consider not place individual furniture that doesnt match and take away that yellow walls -.-"

Thank you for sharing. But it all money matter.. 😂

has been mentioned before, but it's Heaven for those of us that want privacy, also a great excuse to say to people they can't come over cause there's no space. I'm currently in a house shared with others, I hate every second of it and cleaning is a constant must.

Thanks for sharing and your catwalk measuring of floor space😂. May I ask, other than noise from next door neighbour, do you hear feet stomping noise from upstairs neighbour?

Best is to try japanese concept. No bed no sofa..just buy the foldable mattress for ur room will do

The whole design is very dated, old fashioned.

That's why most applications choose type 2 in the bto exercises for that extra 10sqm of space despite higher price

Its better to stay in a 2room bto than in a rental flat. Atleast u own the house. If u can only afford 2room bto then its still ok. Resale value of 2 room bto is high. U can upgrade to 3 or 4 room after mop

你嫌这个屋子小，但这个屋子的客厅幸好还有个财库位，可惜你把财库位给压住了。如果你能好好利用财库位，小屋子能变大屋子。

you deserve it since you chose it. why be such a bitch after 6 years?

Single person BTO when you reach elderly maybe you have to move out because cannot stay alone.

Wanna ask your opinion whether 7th floor out of highest 29th still technically considered mid floor?

Great recommendations,kudos

Quite nice .why did you say regret doing that feature wall for the TV cónsole ?

Nice interior decor .how much was your renovation cost ?😊

38 is small. I live alone at 47sq meter 18th top floor. 2.7m ceiling height & no ugly pipes.

Thank you for your information 👍☺

Thanks for the tips, ultimately it also depends on the Q number received by the individual. If the Q number is out of supply seriously there're little good options left and yet not choosing will incur penalty unless left with ten units or less .. so it depends on individual luck..

Mine high floor,away from rubbish chute,lift lobby,living rm window facing next blk

Yes..I agree with all the points.Very good. Just to add one very very important factor..if u are sensitive to roaring sounds coming from the sky..avoid bto built near airbases at all cost 😂. If u ok with noise by all means choose that area.

请问，这种房子多少钱？

Definitely 2 AC , one each in Bedroom & Living Areas .

Hi, thanks for your sharing. May I know if you have any FB or instagram account that we can follow you?

Got a place to stay for free for the next 5 years, after mop can sell it off or rent out the whole unit, not bad what

With weather getting hotter each year, you definitely need aircon in living room. u dont want your guests to be sweating during Chinese New Year visits right

2 units better. You end up paying $100 plus per month but it is less than a night of stay in the hotel with aircon locally. Even better is two compressor with individual unit instead of system 2. If one fail, another is still okay. But you need trunking to run around the house , some people find it ugly. Dun conceal the pipe ever. Aircon piping is the most important in the layout , best is run as short as possible to outlet and do service it regularly, suck out the jelly inside from outlet pipe, usually located at the toilet.

2 unit .so luxury🎉

Hi, home therapy? Tq

Imo i dont really like this new layout for 2rm bto...i agree with you abt the toilet is right next to the main door..its a bit wierd but might be convenient for elderly as for quick access.....i prefer the other versions of layout might the older ones....HDB should really reconsider updating and change the layout and give chance abit la give more space😅😂...if really no choice i might have to consider 3rm resale which is gonna be way more expensive for a single like me

Please don't grumble and complain too much. 38 sq. m for a single is more than enough. If you spend $700k to $800k on a shoe box apartment, the size is not very much bigger. Learn to live with less and save more for your old age. Be more contented with life if you are not bless with a good income or rich parents. Life is like that. If you keep grumbling and complaining, you will make your life more miserable and time will be harder to pass.

Good advice,anyway I just paid the option fee from the 1st appointment recently.

Hello..mind to share approximately the cost for your reno?

Why didn't you choose the 45 sqm unit?

Tks for the cost info..just to add..seniors abve 55yo buying short lease 2rm flexi DO NOT need to pay downpayment..pay all during key collection..😊😊😊❤

Did you renovate your toilet ?what was your total cost for renovation ?

Great advice .Thank you
