If got another gf then its 2 timer.... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Hypersonic August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 (edited) Thought first timer and second applicants should refer to new flat application? Buying resale flat already counted? Edited August 30, 2018 by 13177 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ysc3 Twincharged August 30, 2018 Author Share August 30, 2018 even for resale as long as you took the grant, it is consider one time. what is the grant ? does it include the subsidized LUP or MUP I paif after I bought my resale flat ? will taking a HDB loan when I bought my resale flat make me a second timer (2T) ?

13177 Hypersonic August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 even for resale as long as you took the grant, it is consider one time. So take grant also counted liao?! In this case if i took a grant to buy a resale flat, then subsequently when i apply for new bto, i will be group under 2nd timer? How many grant can HDB allowed?

Evillusion Supersonic August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 please your hymen already broken still want to ask if 1st timer or 2nd timer see you walking in to HDB office, officier can already identify you by the way you walk but on a serious note 1st time or 2nd timer - critieria goes via your NRIC No. there are always except - appeal some people like my 2 brothers bought hdb under single scheme didnt take the grant....when they got married and bough bto they didnt get penalised.....no levy no nothing......both paid off their bto after they upgrade.

Yes, take grant also count as one time. if you took grant for resale (1st time), then apply new BTO (2nd time), that means... full time liao lor. like normal soccer match, no extra time one hor... after that is either resale (without grants), or private. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good life! I am in the same boat as your bros ... I never take grant but I took HDB loan ... so by right should be 1st timer ? but my ex-colleague told me he only took loan also kenah downgraded to second timer status ... but he still ok ... coz he collecting his new to his new flat in Oct liow ... first try also. all these websites sometimes answer also quite confusing ... that's why gotta ask around for real experience. btw anyone else bought new flat recently ? is it really above 5.5k total household income then no govt grants ?

Atrecord Supersonic August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 If buy another resale also means full time liao? This second resale is 1) after having only bought one resale? or 2) after having bought one resale and one BTO? If #1, then 2nd resale with grant is the second time. If #2, then 2nd resale will be full time liao and no more grant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best is you should go to hdb to get the answer. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
